file. In this location name, LCID is the Locale I; Site_Definition_Name represents<br />

the area, Topic, or site; <strong>and</strong> List_Definition_Name is the list type. For example, STS<br />

is the Site_Definition_Name for Windows SharePoint Services sites, SPSCOMU is<br />

the Site_Definiton_Name for the Community Area template, <strong>and</strong> ANNOUNCE is<br />

the List_Definition_Name for the Announcements list. Figure 20-4 shows the<br />

Explorer view of the list definition folder.<br />

Figure 20-4 List definition folder for the Windows SharePoint Services sites<br />

Each list definition folder includes a number of Web pages that are used to display<br />

the list’s content <strong>and</strong> the SCHEMA.XML file, which defines the views, forms,<br />

toolbar, <strong>and</strong> special fields for new lists that are created through the list definition.<br />

The following kinds of tasks can be performed in a SCHEMA.XML file to customize<br />

a list definition:<br />

■ Add custom fields based on field types defined in FLDTYPES.XML. Each frontend<br />

Web server in a deployment of <strong>Microsoft</strong> Windows SharePoint Services has<br />

one FLDTYPES.XML file located in the Local_Drive\Program Files\Common<br />

Files\<strong>Microsoft</strong> Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\TEMPLATE\LCID\XML<br />

folder that is used during site or list creation to define how field types are rendered<br />

in the different modes for viewing list data. Changes to this file should<br />

be made with extreme caution because the changes are global to a Windows<br />

SharePoint Services deployment <strong>and</strong> affect all site definitions on the front-end<br />

Web server. Field types are described in Chapter 19.
