Content Type Excluded Converters Schema Overview

  • Article

The Content Type Excluded Converters Schema enables you to specify a list of document converters to exclude from converting items of this content type. If you specify a document converter in this schema, the user is not able to select that transformer to convert items of this content type in the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 user interface.

The URL for this schema is https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3/contenttype/transformers.

This schema describes optional XML you can include in a content type as custom information. You can add this information to a content type before or after provisioning, as follows:

  • Prior to provisioning the content type, as an XMLDocument element contained in the content type definition XML used to provision the content type.

    For more information, see Content Type Definition Schema in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SDK.

  • After provisioning the content type, by using the Add method of the SPXmlDocumentCollection object in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 object model.

Following is the XML for the schema, where guid value represents the actual GUID of the document converter to exclude.

<ExcludedTransformers
xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3/contenttype/transformers"
  <Transformer Guid="guid value"/>
  <Transformer Guid="guid value"/>
  <Transformer Guid="guid value"/>
</ExcludedTransformers>
