Couple questions about Custom List

Question

I defined custom list based on Customlist template.  I defined fields like this:

<Fields>
<Field Name="Ilmoitus" ID="{382BE94A-3500-4d42-AFEC-5CE112E055F6}" Type="Text" DisplayName="Ilmoitus" Group="My Fields" Required="TRUE"/>
<Field Name="Created" DisplayName="Luotu"/>
<Field Name="Nimimerkki" Type="Text" DisplayName="Nimimerkki"/>
			
				
</Fields>

When I trie to add new item on list.This Title field is always showed.Can any tell me how to hide or remove it ?

Second Question is that. I want to define 'Ilmoitus' field to have multiline text box.How to do that ?

Third and final question.Some reason I cannot edit items on list.Can any one tell why ?

Answer 1

1. Title is mandatory field for the list, you will be not able to remove it. You can hide it or rename it.
2.Change the Type to Note from Text for your field.
3.Please check whether the user logged is having proper permissions.

Q1:

If you see the Title on Display/Edit/New pages then that means it's coming as a part of your content type. In which case you should define a new base content type with no column. I'm guessing that currently your content type is inheriting from "Item" which includes the "Title"Column. To create your custom base content type go to : \12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\ctypes and open the ctypeswss.xml. Add your own content type with no entry and base your other content types on that.

If you dont see it on the Display/Edit/New pages and only see it in the List View Webpart, then you just need to modify the Schema.xml of the list definition to remove the Title from the view. (<ViewFields>)

Q2:

Set the type attribute on the field element to Note  

Q3:

Add this entry to the <ViewFields> in the Schema.xml file of your list definition. You should be able to see the edit image, but whether you can get to the edit page depends on your security settings.

<FieldRef Name="Edit" />

Hi,

I strongly suggest that you post new questions as new threads. That way the title of your question will match the content of your answers + you get faster response.

To answer the question:

The quick & dirty solution would be to locate the file at /_layouts/images/listheadergrad.gif and replace it with your custom image. For changing the color, I'd suggest that you use a software to overlay your desired color on top of the existing image.
