With the new VSeWSS <\/a>tools for Visual Studio 2005, SharePoint developers can now create site definitions and deploy them as easy as 1-2-3 to the server without any copy and paste steps involved. Well, it is still in CTP and there are some serious bugs there, so we cannot expect it to work 100%. One thing that is strange is the fact the there is no direct way to have a custom master page in yor project. As soon as you change MasterPageFile=”~masterurl\/default.master” to anything else , you will get dozens of errors and warnings and project does not get compiled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you follow Todd’s solution <\/a>on how to create ghosted and unghosted master pages , you still have no chance to get this working.I changed Todd’s solution and finally managed to add my own custom.master to the project. here are the steps:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Add a custom.master to the project (same-level as default.aspx)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In ONET.XML<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)Add the following tag inside the tag.
\n3)Scroll down to thesection\u00a0 and change it to<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Inside the configuration Tag above , go to thesection<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and add:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It should look like this after you change it:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Create a new Module section under the tag as shown below:
\n6) Build and deploy the project , custom.master should show up in the master page gallery of your site and custom.master page is in effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
