How to provision List Templet (.stp) to list templete gallery and create instance of list based on uploaded stp trough Feature

Question

 

Hi, i have couple of  things need to achive using feature.

 

I have a feature which provisions a .stp file to list templete gallery.

here is the  element manifest file xml snippet

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

<Module Name="addressList" List="114" Url="_catalogs/lt" >

<File Path="Liststp" Url="address.stp" Type="GhostableInLibrary" />

</Module>

</Elements>

 

1.

The .stp file gets added to the List Templete gallery, when i go to create new List in the site, there is no link to create the list based on my list templete(.stp) uploaded through the feature.

 

2.

I need to create new list based on the uploaded list templete through feature.

I am able to create new instance of the out of the box list by specifying the following xml in the elemet manifest file of feature.

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

<ListInstance  Id="customlist" Title="Address"

Description="List provisened though feature"

TemplateType="100" Url="Lists/CustomList">

</ListInstance>

</Elements>

 

But i want to create List based on my uploaded list templete. Is it possible to create list instance based on my uploaded stp through feature?

I need to do the samething (use a Module to upload a list.stp into /_catalogs/lt *and* have it appear in the list of Custom Lists create.aspx page).

The Module uploads the list.stp just fine but it doesn't appear on create.aspx.  What am I doing wrong?
