Hi,

sorry for the late answer.

I am not a custom list expert, and I am as you, wondering sometimes about the way of choosing templates.

The only beginning of explanation I have found on the Internet to date, without having searched very deeply is these few lines at the bottom of that post:

List definitions Type and BaseType

BaseType

0 — Custom List

1 — Document Library

2 — Not used

3 — Discussion Forum

4 — Surveys

5 — Issues List

so, if you are developing custom picture library set Type="109" and BaseType="1" (because picture library mainly based on document library)

another example if your are developing custom Calendar list definition set Type="100" BaseType="0".

If you or somebody else reading that post have further explanations or links to provide, you are very welcome,


hope this little helps.

Go to the All Items perspective. In the web browser, go to View Source and look for for ctx.listTemplate. The Pages Collection will display ctx.listTemplate = 850 and the Images library will display ctx.listTemplate = 101.
