Content Query Web Part filter not returning any results

This CQWP stopped working after moving a number of files to new locations. It is configured in the following way:
Source: Show items from the following site and all subsites
List type: Pages Library
We want to filter the list by the article date, last 30 days. Without a filter, results are returned. If ANY filtering is applied, NO results are returned, NO error messages.
I experimented with "Group items by" filter, but it also resulted in no results.
If I change the Source field to a subfolder, I can return filtered results.
Any ideas?

Make sure that ItemStyle.xslt is working fine, try to change the item style
for your content query web part, if it shows data then there your custom defined
item style is not working properly

Content Query Web Part will not display all fields.

I would love some assistance on this. When I choose fields to display in the Web Part they do not appear. And I should say the the article "How to: Display Custom Fields in a Content Query Web Part" on the Developer Network is
a great start but it is only applicable to '07 and '10. Where is the detailed info for SP 2013??

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom columns in Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the method for SharePoint 2013 to display custom columns in Content Query web part is the same with SharePoint 2010.
The method in the link below is also can be used for SharePoint 2013:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms497457(v=office.14).ASPX
Do you encounter any issue when customizing in in a Content Query Web Part?
Here are some links about customizing the ItemStyle.xsl to display custom columns in Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:

Content Search Web Part - Sorting not working

I recently tried the new Content Search Web Part for which i see tremendous potential. I wanted to use it to show a certain type of pages and that was not a problem (i added a url as the source where i got the pages from). I mapped the correct fields so
that it showed image, title and modified date. I then tried the advanced mode and told it to sort by the modified date, however any way I tried to apply this sort it just would not save my settings and reverted back to the default sorting. Is there anything
else you need to do to get Sorting to work?
/Anders

I hadn't tried looking with REST, but that's a good suggestion.
In the interim, I found this on TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj679902.aspx#BKMK_MapCPtoRefinableMP<o:p></o:p>
When you search for a crawled property, you may find two crawled properties
that represent the same content. For example, a site column of type Text named
Color will during crawl discover two crawled properties: ows_Color and
ows_q_TEXT_Color. Crawled properties that begin with either ows_r<four
letter code>, ows_q<four letter code>, or ows_taxId are automatically
created crawled properties. When you select a crawled property to map to a
refinable managed property, make sure that you don't map the automatically
created crawled property. Instead, always map the crawled property that begins
with ows_.
So clearly (as clearly as the doc makes it) I need to use ows_ArticleStartDate. I've made sure that crawled property is the one I'm using, but I'm still not seeing any effect.
As for the sorting model, that only seems to be relevant for Rank sorting, right?

Content Query Web Part (CQWP) displaying ASCII code for the colon portion of a time

I'm having an issue with a CQWP displaying : for the colon portion of a time. For example, instead of 6:30, the CQWP shows 6:30.
I checked our encoding which is set to UTF-8. We also have a custom style on the CQWP and I've made sure that our custom itemstyle.xsl file has the disable-output-escaping property set to yes.
When I look at the list I'm querying from, the ascii code is not showing in there; it's displaying properly as 6:30. I tried to flip this by replacing the colon with the ascii symbol in the list but it still showed the ascii code on the CQWP.
Any ideas?

Hi Cameron, thanks for your reply. The solution in the blog would work for an area that is only for date or time. Unfortunately, this particular section of my CQWP is more than just a time; it's the summary of a news article--
which may or may not contain a time depending on what the news article is about.
In further testing I have also noticed, when viewing the source code, that the colon is represented as
&#58; which tells me that the ampersand of the ascii code for the colon is also being convertied to ascii (in a sort-of double
conversion situation.) This isn't something I've ever seen before.

How to hide title of the list on Content Query Web Part?

I am trying to display the description on content query web part from a list. Even when I leave the Title field blank on "Presentation" section (editing the web part), the title shows up with the link along with the description. Is there any way
to hide the title or leave it as blank? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Evilar

Hi Evilar,
Thanks for posting your issue, Kindly use the below mentioned CSS Style in ID of table tag to fix this issue
#hide-title .ms-viewheadertr {
display: none;
}OR
For Content Query Web part (WebPartWPQX) Note; X is a number of your web part.#WebPartWPQX .ms-viewheadertr
display: none;
}So only titles of the webpart within the WebPartWPQX will be hided.
Also, browse below mentioned URL for more details

Content Query Web Part - Sort Libraries by Name

Hello,
I created a Content Query Web Part that lists all Libraries under the current site (preferably it would be better to list only the Libraries on the current site but I couldn't manage to do it). However, the libraries are not sorted in any way.
The query is the following:
Path:{Site.URL}* contentclass:STS_List_DocumentLibrary -Title:Assets -Title:Templates
Whatever I select on the Sorting tab nothing happens, the results are displayed still in the same way, please see attached screenshot.
PS: I also want to do the same things to lists the subsites - which I also couldn't do to list only one level *Below* the current site - any tips appreciated.
path:"https://sharepointsite.com/sites/Test/Acquisitions/" contentclass:STS_Web Title<>Acquisitions

Hi,
Did you use the content search web part?
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment, it works well without any issue.
Did you set the sort by Title in the SORTING section?
I set the query just like yours:Path:{Site.URL}* contentclass:STS_List_DocumentLibrary Title:docs -Title:incoming
Then set the sort by Title in the sorting section.
You can check whether you have configured the SORTING option, then check whether it works.
Note: By default, the Title property is not enabled the sort option, you can configure it in
Central Administration->Manage Service Application->Search Service Application->Search Schma

Duplicate groups in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
I'm facing one weird issue in CQWP. I've a document library in SharePoint 2010 site where I have 2 columns - Title and Document Type. The column 'Document Type' is a Single line of Text column and mandatory. Users have entered bunch of documents in this
library by populating the metadata.
On one wiki page I have a CQWP where I'm showing the documents of this library grouped by 'Document Type'. The problem I am facing is that some documents are showing in different columns even though their 'Document Type' value is exactly same. Please see
below screenshot:
You can see that the documents under 'Industry Group Publications' are showing in 3 different columns, why?
My CQWP settings are:
Presentation: Number of columns to be shown: 5 (I've changed it to 3 also, but the same result)
Group items by: Document Type and sort order is Ascending (I've tried changing sort order as well, same result)
Limit number of items to display: This checkbox is unchecked (unlimited)
It's not just one case. I've seen this issue on other sites as well where same 'Group by' column value is being shown in different column rather than under same column while values are EXACTLY same.
Has anybody else faced this issue? What's the reason and solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
--Ashish

Hi Ashish,
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment. I created a content query web part displaying one library documents. The library has two columns, title and document type. However, document type is a single text column you need to manually write content
into.
I set the web part to group items by document type and left other settings to be by default. It worked as expected. I’d like to know if there is any difference from your situation, especially for the document type column so I can reproduce the issue from
my side.

Issues with Content Query Web Part List Override

I have modified a Content Query web part to show all checked out documents across my site collection. I used this property to get the checked out documents:
<property name="QueryOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<Where><Geq><FieldRef Name="CheckoutUser" LookupId="TRUE"/><Value Type="int">0</Value></Geq></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef
Name="CheckoutUser"/></OrderBy>]]></property>
It fails when trying to view across the site collection and gives this error:
"There is a problem with the query that this webpart is issuing. Check the configuration of this webpart and try again."
However, it works for sub-sites.
Thus, I followed this blog to modify the ListsOverride property: http://geekswithblogs.net/simonh/archive/2013/05/08/increasing-the-number-of-lists-a-content-query-webpart-can.aspx I modified the property to:
<property name="ListsOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<Lists Servertemplate="101" MaxListLimit="2000"></Lists>]]></property>
But now I am getting this response:
This query has returned no items. To configure the query for this Web Part, open the tool pane.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I cannot find anything in the ULS logs that would indicate a timeout from the SQL server or any other type of error.

Hi Susan,
According to your description, my understanding is that there is something wrong when you override content query web part property.
As you said, the query override works for sub-site, I suggest you check the data in the parent site whether the data is valid.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Content Query Web Part hasn't data in the first step.

I have a problem with the deployment of Content Query Web Part programmatically.
When I do the deployment, the Web Part appears in the required page with the correct configuration, but the problem is that it hasn't data. If I edit the page and I do click in "Apply" button of the Web Part, the data appears perfectly.
Do you know anything about this?
Thanks !!

Hi Magnus, thanks for your quick response.
I'm deploying and adding this webpart in code-behind
ContentByQueryWebPart cqwp = new ContentByQueryWebPart();
cqwp.MainXslLink = "/Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/ContentQueryMain.xsl";
cqwp.Title = "Recently Documents";
cqwp.ItemStyle = "WithDocIcon";
cqwp.ChromeType = PartChromeType.Default;
cqwp.ItemLimit = 15;
cqwp.WebUrl = currentWeb.ServerRelativeUrl;
cqwp.SortBy = "Modified";
cqwp.SortByDirection = ContentByQueryWebPart.SortDirection.Desc;
cqwp.BaseType = "101";
cqwp.UseCache = false;
cqwp.AsyncRefresh = true;
cqwp.AutoRefresh = true;
PublishingWeb pweb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
cqwp.Update(pweb);

Content Query Web Part gives error when trying to edit

Hello there,
When I put the page in edit mode and try to edit the content query web part I get an unexpeced error. When searching the correlation ID from the error message I see this message a lot:

0x49D8
Web Content Management
Publishing
7fz0
Medium
ConsoleUtilies.GetContextualControlMode had no currentPage so the current SPWebPartManager mode cannot be retrieved.
The error message says something about Publishing and I had an Publishing issue before the CQWB issue happened.
The thing is that the CQWB is dependent on the Publishing feature. The publishing feature when turned on (as site collection feature) creates Content types. One of these content types was removed because when I tried to create a new publishing site
I got an error about a missing content type.
I deactivated the site collection publishing feature (after deactivating it on all sites where it was activated) and then activated it again so it reacreates the content types. This was working, since now I can create Publishing sites again.
The problem is that I can not edit the CQWB anymore. But it is still showing the query in correct lay-out. Also when I add a new CQWB I have the same issue. I can add it, but not edit.
I also made a new test site collection and here everything works fine. I tried to copy the .webpart from the test to the problem-sitecollection, but the webpart is just not editable on my broken site collection.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Im assuming it has something to do with the publishing issue I had....
Please help......

I disabled all publishing features on all subsites
Then I disabled the site collection publishing feature
Then I enabled the site collection publishing feature again
I enabled publishing feature on the subsites where I want to use the content query web part and also on the subsites where the query is coming from
So: Yes, the publishing feature is enabled

Content Query Web Part Fields Documentation?

Hello community, I have a question about content query web part. I want to use it to display information from a custom large list with more than just the title and description columns that the default allows. For example, I have a list with 50k items in
it and 20 columns. I want to be able to create multiple CQWPs to display select data and select columns for the appropriate users.
I am looking for good accurate documentation to help implement this. I seem to be finding multiple methods that people are using and I am not sure what is best in terms of performance - which is ideally why I want to use the CQWP in the first place (prevent
people from loading the 50k item list over and over).
By default, the content query web part looks great for displaying links to specific documents, but I am hoping that it can be configured to essentially create a mini-list of the large list.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is with a custom content type and all custom fields.

Figured this out a few days ago. Found that there really wasn't any documentation that helped me tremendously or explained in a way that I could understand it completely (user error??). There was one video that I found on YouTube that helped considerably.
I took some of what he did, but found that I could accomplish what he did with less than what he showed.
Pretty sure that by now everyone knows how to do this, but anyway, here is what I did:
I just exported a content query web part (after adding a blank one to a page), edited the CommonViewFields and the ItemXslLink (pointing to a copy of the original ItemStyle.xsl). Rename the copy of the file to whatever you want and then SAVE it locally (you
will upload it later to the Web Part Gallery or directly to the page for use when complete).
Create a new template at the bottom of the copy of the ItemStyle.xsl file (similar to all of the other templates that you see throughout the page).
Then make sure that the name that you selected for the name attribute of the template tag is exactly the same as the name that you will put in single quotes in the match attribute. Again you can use the existing templates on the page as a guide.
Copy and paste some of the existing variables to your template (add them between the opening and closing template tags). For instance, I added the 'SafeLinkUrl' variable, which I copied from above, so that I could have it render when I select my template
when I configure the web part on the page.
Then you can create new fields utilizing the
<xsl:value-of>
tags. Utilize the select attribute to get the field name that you want; use the examples in the page to help guide you. You can use plain old HTML to style your content. For example, I created a table to display my results.
The CommonViewFields property from the .webpart file should have the field names that you want to add in them already (because you edited that earlier).
Add the new CQWP that you just modified to the page that you want and select the template name from the drop-down to get the template that you created. You should then see your new fields there too!
This worked for me. If anyone needs clarification on what I wrote, let me know. Anyway, I know that I am a few years too late, but whatever - hopefully this can help someone else.

Content Query Web Part - Custom ItemStyle.xsl to display image with hyperlink

I don't have access to InfoPath or SharePoint Designer to edit the ItemStyle.xsl. So any solution suggested is preffered to be a manual change to ItemStyle.xsl
I use Content Query Web part (in the main site) to list all the Wikis created in the a sub-site. The idea is to link each wiki to its printable version stored elsewhere.
The wiki has custom column say "Link" that hold hyperlinks to the printable version.
I want to create a column in the content query web part that displays an image (same image for all wikis stored in the site Assets) but on clicking takes me to the printable version page.
I got the image displayed but the hyperlink takes me to the location where the image is stored and not to the printable version page.

<xsl:variable name="PDFLink">
<xsl:value-of select="@Link"/>
</xsl:variable>

<a href="{$PDFLink}">
<img src="../Images/Icon.jpg"/>
</a>

Hyperlink column is treated a little different. The field, by default, puts the URL and then the friendly name concatenated together, but separated by a comma. So I created two variables one that pulls everythng before the comma and the other after. Then
the html "a" tag looks like this:

<xsl:variable name="ActualLink" select="substring-before(@LinkColName,',')"/>
<xsl:variable name="FriendlyName" select="substring-after(@LinkColName,',')"/>

<a href="{$ActualLink}"><xsl:value-of select="$LinkColumnName"/>
<img src="/Images/Icon.jpg">
</a>

Pass Content Query Web Part ToolPart Value to XSL

I have extended the Content Query Web Part by adding a textbox control ToolPart. This is working, i.e. I am able to see the control, add a value in the textbox and save it. Is it possible to pass the value of this ToolPart textbox to the
xsl file? I found this article: http://blog.sharepointexperience.com/customitemstyle/ that describes how to first see all fields being passed to the webpart by creating a temporary
itemstyle with this code:
<xsl:for-each select="@*">P:<xsl:value-of select="name()" /></xsl:for-each>
I believe I next need to modify CommonViewFields of the *.webpart file to include the fields I would like to pass to xsl.
My question is how do I know the name of the field SharePoint is using to store the value of the textbox toolpart? The toolpart textbox is generically named (i.e. _textbox), so I do not think I can derive the the field name from the textbox created
in code.
