RE: Adding Links to WorkItems using WorkItems.xml

Hi Steve,

I am willing to help. :) But first, I want to clarify the question. Do you
mean that you want to add links to documents which are located at "Windows
SharePoint Services" folder in process template folder when a new project
is created? If it is not the question, could you please explain the
question in more detail? Thanks.

The documentation about this topic is in here: Windows SharePoint Services
Process Template Plug-in
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243868.aspx).

First, you should find the Windows SharePoint Services xml file, which is
named WssTasks.xml and is located in the Windows SharePoint Services folder
in the process template folder hierarchy.
In the XML file, specify one or more tasks and their dependencies. There
are three key tasks to specify: which site template to use, which document
libraries to create, and which folders and files to copy into the document
libraries. For an example of tasks specifying a simple project portal, see
the WssTasks.xml file in the MSF for Agile Software Development process
template.

For your convenience, I put a simple sample here for you to understand.
------------------------------------------------------------
<tasks>
<task id="SharePointPortal" name="Create Sharepoint Portal"
plugin="Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Portal" completionMessage="Project
site created.">
<dependencies />
<taskXml>
<Portal>
<site template="VSTS_MSFAgile" language="1033" />
<documentLibraries>
<documentLibrary name="Process Guidance" description="Process
Guidance for the team documents" />
</documentLibraries>
<folders>
<folder documentLibrary="Process Guidance" name="Supporting
Files" />
</folders>
<files>
<file source="Windows SharePoint Services\Process
Guidance\Supporting Files\AboutRoles.htm" documentLibrary="Process
Guidance" target="Supporting Files/AboutRoles.htm" />
</files>
</Portal>
</taskXml>
</task>
</tasks>
------------------------------------------------------------
Site template is defined in your Windows SharePoint Server, which is not
included in process template.
Site language a locale id to indicate which language version of the site
template to use. The English version is 1033.

DocumentLibrary is used to categorize your documents. You could specify its
name like "Requirements", "Test", "Development" etc.
Folder is a sub-entry under DocumentLibrary, so you must specify its
"documentLibrary" attribute. With folder, you could well group files.
File is a link between source files with project portal website. Below is
the detail description about its attributes.
------------------------------------------------------------
source:
A relative path to the local copy of the file. Generally, the source path
name always begins with Windows SharePoint Services.

documentLibrary:
The name of the document library into which the file will be copied.

target:
A relative path to the target on the project portal where the file is
copied.

queryId:
Specifies the name of a work item query that is bound to the file. When
the file is opened for the first time, it is populated with the results of
running the query. This attribute is optional, and the specified query must
exist in the workitems.xml file. queryId only applies to .xls and .mpp
files.
------------------------------------------------------------

Please let me know if you have any problem when implementing this feature.
I will be more than happy to be of assistance.
