Cannot create mysites from powershell: Original XSLT List View Web Part not found

I have a bizarre problem in my SharePoint 2013 farm. This does not occur in my test farm, only in the farm we were going to go live with.
I'm on windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 SP1, SharePoint 2013 April CU. 1 appserver/centraladmin server, 2 web servers.
When I log into our mysitehost and click newsfeed, it will create a mysite (even though first it displays "we are sorry there was a problem creating your site")
But from powershell, whether I use $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite() or New-SPSite, I get the following error:
Original XSLT List View Web Part not found
So far I've only found one other person with this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2503e42c-e114-4e89-8e00-89fe70f0b154/cannot-create-sharepoint-mysite-programmatically
This is a brand new farm, created with the same scripts I created my test farm with, and same version of SharePoint. Only the service accounts are different. (Farm account has admin on the servers right now since I was setting up profile service).
Some other errors from the same correlation ID that look related:
It can't seem to find the listemplate 101
And something looks wrong with the MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
I have tried the following:
1. run psconfig.exe on each server
2. install-spfeature -AllExistingFeatures
3. looped through the directory under Features and for each called Install-SPFeature $dirname -Force
4. uninstalled and reinstalled MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
5. blew away the whole farm (removed all servers from farm, deleted all databases) and recreated it.
6. tried creating the UPA from the CentralAdmin gui.
The only real difference I can think of between the working farm and non working farm is, I installed the working farm using RTM, then as they came out added the March PU and April CU. For this farm I installed RTM and March and April, and then ran my build
farm script.
I am at a loss. What do I need to do, re-install the binaries? That's all I can think of. What I love is that our test / POC system worked fine, and now 2 weeks before go-live I'm seeing errors on the production servers I've never seen before. Using the
same scripts no less.

I've had other problems in this farm: the bug where when you add Administrators to a Search Service via the Manage Service Applications page, it removes the SPSearchDBAdmin role from the search service process account. That one did not happen in the other farm.
At least other people have that one and I could just use the farm admin instead (still troublng of course).

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

XSLT List View Web Part

Hi Everyone,
I'm facing an issue on xslt list view web part.
I created 2 xslt list view web part on the same page, the issue is: the edit menu only show on the first xslt list view wp, I don't see the edit menu in the second list view wp, I check the log and see that it raised an error message:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'IsClientRendering' of undefined"
Please help to give me some solutions to solve it.
Many thanks,
Phu.

Thanks all for your quick response :-)
@Keerthi Vaddy: it is running on single server, it work fine if there is only one in a page, as I said currently the edit menu still show for the first xslt list view wp, everything is ok if there is
a xslt list view wp in a page.
@sk2014:
I need to show two or more xslt list view wp in a page, if there is only one then everything is ok
Many Thanks,

XSLT List View Web Part Error when Using Group By

I have a Tasks List created a tasks list in SharePoint. The Tasks (normal OOTB template) list works fine in the normal view, however, I have created an XSLT ListView Web Part that points to this tasks list. When I set the web part to display
a view with a "Group By" rule, it returns an error:
"Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))
The list has just over 1000 items and the threshold is set to 5000, I have tried indexing the column that I am "grouping by" just in case and that has not worked.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, what steps can be done to display the XSLT List View Web Part properly?

Thank you for the response. I tried the above link and it didn't seem to solve the issue; in fact, when I clicked on Common Control Tasks there wasn't any Data View Tasks such Filter and Sort & Group.
Perhaps some more information would shed light on a solution. I created a list template including content of the task list in question. I was able to display the new list in an XSLT List View Web part with grouping enabled. However, I noticed that
the "Related Content" column was completely empty (it was there, it just had no data in each row). What is the source of this Related Content? I know it is a system column that appears when Workflows generate the item in the list but could it be the
reason for the Web part being unable to display with groupings?

XSLT List View Web Part Layout

Hello,
In Visual Studio 2013 i'm working with the 'XSLT List View Web Part' to show lists i have created with the list item in VS.
Is there anyway i can modify the view,group or order with ClientSide code as jquery, javascript ?
I'm new in the app development for Sharepoint.
I'm trying to find out what options i have. i Don't find much information on the web about this.
Kind Regards,
Kris

XSLT List View Web part with Inline Editing changing value for one field changes the other lookup field

Hi
It's a bit of a weird one. In an XSLT List View web part when Inline editing is enabled if I change the date column, it changes the lookup field column as well. This behavior only occurs if the lookup list has more than 20 entries. Below 20 and we are
OK.
Let me explain by example:
MileStones List - Having more than 20 items
Tasks List - having a lookup to the Title field from MileStones list. Also having a due date field.
Simple web part page with one XSLT List View web part for Tasks having inline editing enabled.
When I edit the first record's due date and press enter (which saves the changes and moves onto next record) and change the due date on second record without even touching the MileStone field. Press enter to commit changes and you see the milestone changing
on first record!
The wierd thing is that if the MileStone list has less than 20 items all works as expected.
Any pointers will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
This is a known limitation when working with complex fields like Lookup field.
A workaround is that we can avoid using the inline edit feature when there are
complex fields in a list.
You can take a look at this KB from Microsoft Support to get more details:

Compound filtering xslt list view web part with _dopostback using javascript/jquery

Hello,
I am filtering list view web part as same as the below post,
http://dcsharepointchick.blogspot.in/2013/05/filter-sharepoint-list-with-partial-postback.html
here I need to filter the web part with some another condition . I am trying to write another condition in filter attribute of _doPostback(), but it doesn't work.
Please let me know is there any alternative to achieve compound filtering.
Regards,
Balakrishna M.

Hi Balakrishna,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to filter the list view web part with more than one filters.
I recommend to use the OOB Choice Filter web part to achieve this goal.
Edit the page where the list view web part exists and then add the Choice Filter web parts to the page based on your need.
More reference:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/connect-a-filter-web-part-to-a-list-view-web-part-HA101785233.aspx#_Toc296943684
Or you use the List Filter Plus Web Part to get the function.

Here is the link to download the web part:

Items to display in list view web part not showing the items setup

Hi, I have the following issue. I have a list view web part, but the web part is showing more items that the ones setup in the: Number of items to display in list view web part for this view.
It is because that works when using datasheet view and not a normal view? Is there any technical documentation from Microsoft supporting this?

thank you for your answer. It is interesting that the mobile view with the items to show in the mobile view doesn't work in the webpart, but it works when you are using datasheet view, but if you uncheck to activate the mobile view, then, the webpart doesn't
show information, so, it works partially because one part works and not the other.

List view web part not reflecting changes made to list view in SharePoint Designer

Dear All,
When adding a list view web part containing a view modified in SharePoint designer (e.g. conditional formatting applied, or group headers modified) I'm finding that the changes made in SPD are not reflected in the web part.
For example, I go into SPD edit a view, and the view appears correctly when I go back into SharePoint, however when I link to the view within a list view web part it results in losing the changes made in SPD.
Becasue it's a publishing page I'm unable to edit the contents of the web part in SPD.
I'm sure this is expected behavior but how do I get around this?
Thnaks,
MDB

List View Web part not showing all available views for list

We have added a list view web part to a page, and we get the "Current View" link in the web part...which is configurable when modifying the actual web part.
What we'd like to see (instead of having to click the ellipses button/context menu to get the other views) is the views displayed horizontally like when you are viewing the list itself.
When viewing the list itself, we see "All Items" "View 1" "View 2", etc.
Is this possible in the list view web part to display all available views in a horizontal/breadcrumb layout? Please advise.

The below works via alert, just need to now assign data to a <DIV> or element for display.
Trying this in simple webpart code snippet to get back all views:
    <script>
    var viewCollection = null;
        function runCode() {
            var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
                var web = clientContext.get_web();
                var listCollection = web.get_lists();
                var list = listCollection.getByTitle("MyListName");
                this.viewCollection = list.get_views();
                //var viewInfo = new SP.ViewCreationInformation();
                //viewInfo.set_title('MyView');
                //this.viewCollection.add(viewInfo);
                clientContext.load(this.viewCollection);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
        function onQuerySucceeded() {
            var viewInfo = 'Tasks list current views: \n\n';
            var viewEnumerator = this.viewCollection.getEnumerator();
            while (viewEnumerator.moveNext()) {
                var view = viewEnumerator.get_current();
                viewInfo += view.get_title() + '\n';

SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

Hello all,
I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
1. Check whether the user can access the list.
2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
Thanks,
Jason

Adding "Filter Criteria" to the XSLT List View Web Part impact on "Export to Excel" functionality within Document Library

Hi there,
XSLT List View displaying all the list items within the Document Library. In order to implement the Search functionality within Document library out of box "Text Filter" web part is configured as explained below. The solution is similar to
the one suggested at
http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=77
"Text Filter" Web Part added to the page.
Filter Criteria (i.e., XSLT List View columns) added to the XSLT List View where the filter parameters take the input from the "Text Filter" Web Part .
3. Both Web Parts (XSLT List View and the Text Filter) are connected.
When the search criteria is entered into the "Text Filter" Web Part, it is passed to the relevant Columns of the XSLT List View and the documents (List Items) that match the search criteria are shown within XSLT List View.
Search functionality working as expected.
Query: Selecting the "Export to Excel" icon from the ribbon generates the excel spread sheet with no data except Column Titles from the Document library. In the investigation it is
found that adding the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View is causing this bug. When the Filter Criteria is removed, then "Export to Excel" functionality is working as expected.
But it is mandatory to add "Filter Criteria" to implement the search functionality with in the document library.
Help: Help/input appreciated on the work around to get the "Export to Excel" functionality work when the "Filter Criteria"
exist on the XSLT List View.
Regards,

Once again thanks very much for your help Scott. very much appreciated.
In the investigation it is found that removing the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View makes the "Export to Excel" functionality work. But the 'Filter Criteria' is mandatory to get the 'Document Search' functionality.
I think that due to technical limitations it should be concluded that 'only custom development can make all work, no code solutions using the SharePoint Designer can meet all the requirements.
If you can think of any alternative solution that could help in resolving the current issue or fix the issue without any custom implementation please inform. Otherwise this issue would be marked as resolved with your suggested response.

SharePoint 2010 list view web part not showing conditional formatting

when I create conditional formatting in custom list is working fine & when it call through web part page (Data view web part) conditional formatting not showing. data is showing without conditional formatting.
Dinuka M.

When you use conditional formatting on some page it is writing inline CSS codes inside that page. thats why when you create a new page and add the same web part to that page, you must edit that page to apply conditional formatting to that
web part.
Best Regards, Mustafa Yılmaz MCITP, MCPD | www.mustafa-yilmaz.org | www.sharepointciyiz.biz
When you say edit the page, do you mean edit it in SharePoint Designer, or in SharePoint itself. And is it a case of just editing, then saving the page and it will apply the conditional formatting, or is there a specific property you need to edit, and if so,
what is it?

Hi Sultannur,
Which level is your SharePoint farm patched on?
I searched internally, a similar issue is fixed by October,2013 CU for SharePoint 2013, that a XsltListViewWebParts cannot enable the web part property option "Display search box" in a publishing page, please check results again after update this CU for
your SharePoint server 2013.

Row limit in declarative list view web part

Hi,
Imagine you are in a scenario where you develop a custom web template or a site definition. Page Layouts with web part zones are being provisioned and out of them, decoratively web part pages are being created and populated with web parts. So something like:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="XXXProjectPages" Url="$Resources:osrvcore,List_Pages_UrlName;" Path="" SetupPath="FEATURES\XXX_Intranet_PMO_PageLayouts\">

<File Url="FullPageLayout\XXXFullPageLayout.aspx" Name="Default.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="FALSE" ReplaceContent="TRUE" Level="Published">
<Property Name="Title" Value="Team & Collaboration" />
<Property Name="ContentType" Value="$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_page_name;" />
<Property Name="PublishingPageLayout" Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/XXXFullPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/XXXFullPageLayout.aspx" />

<View List="Lists/Announcements" BaseViewID="102" WebPartZoneID="wpZone1" WebPartOrder="2">
<![CDATA[
<WebPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
<Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
<TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListViewWebPart</TypeName>
<Title>Latest News</Title>
<FrameType>TitleBarOnly</FrameType>
</WebPart>
]]>
</View>
For simplicity, let's assume that we are working with instances of OOB list definitions, such as Announcements or Document Library. So far so good. And now the question...
In my understanding if you want to do something as simple as limiting the number of items returned, or specifying a custom view criteria (filter/sorting/grouping, whatever) or just remove the toolbar, you have to go as far as provisioning an ENTIRE LIST
DEFINITION, defining your custom View in it (which declares the toolbar type, row limit and View) and then reference this new View by its BaseViewID. Is that correct?
Is there really no other, simpler way, of 'provisioning' and referencing a new view, to an existing list instance, along with the
Module -> File -> View element? I see a couple of logical options:
1) I would imagine such metadata could be stored in the web part and not the actual list. i.e. the web parts sends a CAML query to the list, based on the View metadata stored in it.
2) As we know, when you Edit page and configure the View for a List View Web Part on the page, that view is stored as a new hidden view in the actual list (i.e. if you have two list view web parts that reference that list, you will have two additional hidden
views). Then why can't we provision such (hidden) view along with the List View WebPart when we declare it and create the page? It could be created on first access of the page, or during the page
provisioning.
Another option could be the XmlDefinition property of the XsltListViewWebPart, but
apparently it is being ignored. I have also tried using the 'CustomSchema' property of the ListInstance, but it totally makes no sense because:
a) You cannot define more than one view in it, i.e. you have to override the OOB view that comes with the definition (lol?!)
b) You are supposed to overwrite the entire list definition, instead of simply upgrading parts of it
So, let me elaborate: if I want to have a <View> (ListViewWebPart) in my Page and this view to have some custom criteria, I have to provision an entire List Definition, is that correct? This is crazy.

Hi Hristo,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if you can use <view> tag in the list view web part to define the row limit of list view web part.
Per my knowledge, you can define rowlimit element in the view element for list view web part directly not necessary to modify the entire list definition.
View Element:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms438338(v=office.15).aspx
Also, if you want to do more customization, you can still orverride the xslt.
