When tried to create site definition and added ListView for DiscussionForum. Link of added Item redirected to the default Web page for the site intead of open.
<View List="Discussion Forums"
WebPartZoneID="Left" BaseViewID="0" WebPartOrder="3" Type="HTML" RowLimit="5"
/>
After investigation I found error occur if the XML parser cannot find a matching content type ID.
Solution:
add the ContentTypeID attribute together with the content type value "0x012001" to the View element code of the discussion Web part in the Onet.xml file:
<View List="Discussion Forums" ContentTypeID="0x012001"
WebPartZoneID="Left" BaseViewID="0" WebPartOrder="3" Type="HTML" RowLimit="5"
/>
