How do I export custom list into different server on the internet(Development site to Live Site).
Any advice or direction!!
Create a list template based on the list using Save list as template option of the List's settings page. Select the Include content check box.
In the Site Collection Settings section, click Manage list template gallery. Download the template.
Upload the template to a new Site collection's list template gallery using the same menu as in s.2
Create a new list based on the template.

I've creates 2 .stp with content from a SP13 server (publishing site), and uploaded them to the List Template Gallery at a SP19 server (publishing site), yet cannot find my new lists templates for creation
how can I see/create lists from .stp in SharePoint 2019 (publishing site)?
Did you have any special settings/customization on the list?
In my test, after I uploaded a general SharePoint 2013(team site with enabling publishing feature) list template with content into a SharePoint 2019 team site with enabling publishing feature, I could create a new list based on the template:
You can create a new list on your SharePoint 2013 and save it as template, then download and upload it into SharePoint 2019, check if it could work.
I have a calendar on a SharePoint 2010 site and I have created a custom site template based on the standard meeting workspace. I'd like to force users to only be able to use my custom template.
One option is to add Hidden="TRUE" in webtemp.xml for all other meeting workspace templates - this will leave mine as the only option. This, however, works on the farm level and I'd like to keep the templates available for other web applications. If I can do this on a web application or lower level it will do the trick.
Even better solution - if I can make the new event dialogue skip the step altogether and use my template without asking.
Background:
My custom template only contains security customizations, no UI or content changes. I want to impose it as I have requirements for the permissions of the meeting workspaces which are different from the parent site - so inheritance has to be broken. But I can't think of another way to supply default permissions other than by using a site template for the workspace.
Site Settings > Look and Feel > Page Layouts and Site Templates
choose the site templates you want to be used in the site, this can inherit all the way down the site collection or you can start in a subweb.
I am a .net developer and want to learn SharePoint. Usualy we use MasterPages to have a constant layout for all or some of the pages. My confusion here is SharePoint uses Site Template and MasterPages which both sounds to do same thing. am I right?
thanks
MasterPages and Site templates are absolutelly different thing. Master page is usually layout of some pages. It's same like in ASP.NET.
In Sharepoint you can create some sites in site collection. These sites are created according to site template. When you creating (for example) team site, it's created according to team site template, which is stored in Sharepoint folder on file system. In site templates you can specify which features should be activated when site is created, which features should be activated on site collection scope etc. Also you can specify list, which should be created, modules... And also you can specify default master page which will be used on site.
You can find more informations on msdn
I am creating a site template in Sharepoint. I also have some custom .aspx page, that I want to deploy in Layouts\myDirectory. Using my site template I will create a Web (SPWeb) that should use the custom pages and reference them by an url of the form http://site/MyWeb/MyCustomPage.aspx. How do I integrate the pages in my custom template?
Pages stored in the Layouts folder are Application Pages and should always only be referenced through the _layouts virtual directory
If you want to reference the page as http://site/MyWeb/MyCustomPage.aspx then it should be a Site Page
A site page can be put inside a feature or directly inside a Site Definition (even thought I recommend that you only use the Site Definition to activate features). The way you provision the page is throught the Module & File elements see MSDN
A site template can only contain the contents of a single site/web. So you can't deploy files to the layouts folder using this technique.
However you can use site templates in combination with a solution package that copies your files. There is an example here. Deployment of the solution package will deploy your custom .aspx pages once. From then on they will be accessible to sites created by your site template.
I have created a feature, a publishing site, in Visual Studio to MOSS - this feature contains a masterpage, some page-templates, some site columns (grouped to match each page-template) and som custom list templates etc. I have also created a site collection, some sites and pages based on my feature.
Now I have upgraded the code in my feature - I wanted a ListInstance to be created based on my custom list template. When I have upgraded my SharePoint (using WSPBuilder), the ListInstance and default data are visible if I create a new site collection, but existing site collection does not get the ListInstance and data. Is there anything I can do to update existing site collections to contain the ListInstance when upgrading?
Unfortunately your only choice here is to programmatically create the list in all existing sites in the feature's FeatureActivated method in a feature event receiver. This is a gaping hole in sharepoint's deployment model, and a painful one at that.
