Webparts deleted from the Web Part Gallery

We have a situation in SharePoint 2010 where a Site Collection Admin accidentally deleted most of the web part definitions from the Web Part Gallery in one of our Site Collections.  I know I can use the "Populate Gallery" button on the screen
that is displayed when selecting the "Add new document" to add web part definitions back to the gallery, but this has 2 problems.   1) I don't know which ones to add back, there are over 200 web parts and many of them should not be added.  
2) The "group" field is left blank and defaults to "Custom".
Does anyone know if a way to add the correct web part definitions back to the gallery based on the features that are activated and also set the correct category "group" values?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not an easy way, but if you find the feature definitions on the server of the web part features that were activated you will find copies of the .dwp or .webpart file.  YOu can just grab copies of those and re-upload them to the web part gallery.  The
other pieces required for the web parts to work should still be in place.

  • SharePoint 2010 migration - web part gallery shows "This item is no longer available ... Click OK to refresh page

    This error IS on the WEB PART GALLERY itself.  I have dealt with it on other libraries by deleting the listview web part and adding a dataview web part. 
    However, if you try to add a dataview web part the web part gallery  the gallery is not available under lists or libraries so their is no way to add.
    I have also tried creating other views as suggested by some articles
    I have the view application pages permission as suggested by other articles.
    I believe I have read every article related and am unable to find an answer. 
    Any help on this would be appreciated. 
    As a side note, I have an option called "Manage Columns" when I go into the library settings for the Web Part Gallery.  Is this normal or is it some sort of add on. 
    Thanks for listening ==Lee

    Same problem, but with sharepoint 2013 after upgrade. Will post if i find a solution.
    Seems like it is getting a 401 error on some URLs from fiddler. Here is a working list on a different site, same web application. the 200s are the working list and the 401s are the non working ones.

  • Save as template kill the web part connection

    Hi,
    I have a Sharepoint web site and I would like to save it as a template in order to create several site with the same structure and the same web pages.
    On some of my web part pages I have some webpart connected to each other (mostly BDC List web part and BDC related list web part). When I save the site as a template and create a new site based on this template most of the connection are not present in the
    new site. Does anyone know what is the problem and how to solve it? I really need this to work as the site template will contains tens of pages with those connection and we will have to create tens of site with that template so manually recreating the connection
    is not possible.
    Thank you for your help.

    No web part connections are managed by sharepoint and are stored on the page on which the connected web part are as I know.
    Any way I managed to find a solution. I deleted all the web part connections (Open sharepoint designer and deleted all the SPWebPartConnection tags.) and then I recreated all the connections within the browser.  I don't know why but now it works.
    The mysteries of SharePoint are endless.

  • Unable to add web part in the web part zone

    We have a SharePoint 2010 site collection in which except the home page all other pages are working normally. When we try to click on 'Add a Web Part' button on the home page we won't get the web part gallery and hence we are unable to add any web parts
    on the home page.
    We checked the permissions, it is fine I have web application level full control. 
    Home page is not checkout to any body.  All other site collections have good home pages where we are able to add web parts.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue.
    Thank you,
    smith

    Hi Victoria Xia,
    Below are my answers to your questions
    Check the page in SharePoint Designer to see if there are any customization on the page.
               There are no customizations on the page. It just has Out of the Box web parts which are already      added.
         2. Did this issue occur with other user accounts?
               Yes, issue is there for all the user accounts.
         3. Set another page as home page to see if the issue still occurs.
             I have set another page as home page but didn't see any issue.
         4. Was there any error when editing the home page?
             No, I don't see any errors while editing the home page.

    Hi,
    In SharePoint 2010, the “Advanced Web Part Gallery and Options” is gone, you can add web part into page in SharePoint 2010 like this:
    Add, move, minimize, or delete a Web Part from a page

  • My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

    My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?

    It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
    If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I access a shared calendar from the web ?

    Hi !
    I use OSX SL, iCal 4.0.4, MobileMe.
    When I share an ical calendar, I can not access it from the web. I can share it with other ical users, but can not find the correct url to access it from Safari. I have been searching the net and find suggestions, but all of them is about using the url stated in the share-dialog. When I share a calendar, there is no url for web access.
    Hope someone can help.
    Sveino

    There is a method for publishing a MobileMe calendar to a web page (as can still be done with an 'On My Mac' calendar, though of course that won't sync to other devices).
    The method is almost a hack, and depends on what appears to be a bug in iCal, so there is no guarantee that it will work, or continue to work, or won't cause problems. Also it appears that once published the calendar cannot be removed from the web page, even if the original is deleted.
    With those caveats in mind, please see this web page:
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/icalpublish.html
    Note that there is a simpler method, involving exporting your MobileMe calendar as an .ics file, re-importing it as an 'On My Mac' calendar, and publishing it in the usual way. However of course it won't update if you update the MobileMe version, and if you make it the only version then of course it won't sync to MobileMe. It's one or the other, or use the hack described above.

  • Using "View Selector" in the List View Web Part, changes the web part page to the view selected's page.

    Hi,
    I am relatively new to Web Parts pages.  I created a page with list view web part and a Infopath Form Web Part, which are connect via the "Get Form From" option.  My users would like to be able to use views dependent on what
    they are looking for.  So I created different views.  However, when I select the view from within the Web Part, it changes the web part page to the list view page.  I must be doing something wrong.  How do I configure the list view to show
    the selected view and results within the existing "list view web part"?
    Thanks,
    Dwayne

    Hi
    Lindali,
    Sorry, but this has not been answered to my liking.  The "List View Web Part" has the ability for the user to select the view from within the web part, so there you should be able to select a different view and have it appear within the same web part. 
    Does anyone know how to complete this task?
    Thanks,
    Dwayen

  • Can't print from the web

    no matter what i do i can not get any part of a web page to show up in "print preview" and therefore I can not print from the web.  Using an HP Officejet Pro L7580 All in one, running Vista 32 bit, and IE 9. Have already uninstalled and reinstalled printer, drivers, etc.  Any ideas?

  • Why is my Mac storing graphics and photos from the web in iPhoto?

    How can I prevent my Mac from downloading graphics and photos from the web?   How do I remove the thousands of images that the Mac moved into iPhoto when I browse the web? 

    This has been reported a few time with no definitive cause. It probably is caused by dragging things to iPhoto. Best solution is to load the back up from just before it occurred. Otherwise you neen to use iPhoto to delete them emptying the iPhoto trash every 100 or so

  • Issue with member move, change or delete from Planning web application

    Hi
    We need to make some basic editing (move, change or delete) of level 0 members of the cost center dimension from Planning web application instead of from essbase database outline. But everytime, we tried from the web Admininstration/Dimension drill down and did a Cut or Delete of a base member, the screen either becomes blank or hangs. And we would have to stop and restart the Planning web application server to bring it back.
    Is this a bug or is there something we missed? We are using Planning 4.0.1 and essbase 7.1.1. Any advice on workaround is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Have you tried running the planning server in the foreground from the start menu and check the output to see if there are any issues.
    Also it might be worth trying to increase the java heap size, maybe you have a complex hierarchy and this is causing the heap size to max out.
    Have you tried using another method to make changes to the hierarchy such as HAL ?
    Cheers

    The final step in the 'account deletion/removal' process is to file your request directly with Skype Customer Service as we here in the Community are not authorized to process account-related maintenance service requests.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
