I want to deploy a few dozen InfoPath forms and I want them all to inherit from a base content type.
If I deploy the form using the standard publishing functionality I can pick the content type I want to inherit from and everything works fine. Is there any way to do this when the form is deployed using a Feature?
When I try using a feature I can create the content type, hook the content type up to the xsn template in the FormServerTemplates library but it always opens in the client and never in the browser.
I followed the instructions in this blog:
http://blah.winsmarts.com/2008-8-Deploying_InfoPath_2007_Forms_to_Forms_Server_-and-ndash_Properly.aspx?postID=469 with mixed results. The content type that is created automatically by the InfoPath feature receiver opens in a browser but inherits from "Form". If I point my custom content type to the exact same xsn it always opens in the client?
Any suggestions? Thanks.
