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:

Hi all,
We have a content query web part in the sharepoint site but it is not working after changing the DNS Entry for the web site ipaddress from one server to other . But it is working fine on the server, if we try to access the site from other system content
quey server its not working fine and its giving error message as bellow.
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Can anyone help me to fix this issue please.

I have custom XSLT . But it is working fine before changing the dns entry as soon as we change the DNS entry the content quey web part is not working. I tried to delete the content query web part and add it once again to the page, As soon as content query

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

Using term set as refiner in content search web part does not show all used terms

When you create a terms set (12 terms with +/- 10-20 child terms) , attach it to a site column and allow multiple values to be selected the search service does not find all used values in the REFINERS tab of the content search web part.
Example:
Field ‘Tags’ is the term set which can be refined. We want to do this in the REFINERS tab of the content search web part.
Tags is containing following fields:
•Course document
•Poster
•ALS
•Before
•During
•CPR/AED I
In all libraries we used +/- 15 different tags already.
Example of a tag field in the library: "Poster;ALS;Belgium"
The problem is we can’t see all of the used tags in the refiners tab when you open it for the first time. (You can see Belgium or Cyprus is not in the list of tags.)
When you select one tag and add it as a refiner, the others eventually do show up. But never all of them together. It’s like he is only showing the most used (and maybe first selected?) tags first. I also think he might be having some trouble
with multi value selections in the tag field.
Does anyone else have the same issue as we do? And is there a solution already?

Hi Sasha,
According to your description, my understanding is that all the used terms cannot display in the Refiners in Content Search web part.
If the results display in the Search Result Preview, then the terms used in these results can be displayed in the Refiners tab.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and when I first opened it I can view all the terms which were used in the search results listed under owsmetadatafacetinfo.
I recommend to do a full crawl and then you can view all the terms used in the search results are displayed under owsmetadatafacetinfo.
Best regards.

Table of contents web part doesn't display all data

Hi,
We did a test migration from Sharepoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013. There is a Table of contents web part that is being used to display all of the team sites (more than 25). In the SharePoint 2013 version, the TOC web part is not displaying all of the sites.
Any ideas of how to make it show all?
thanks,
Sherazad

Hi Sherazad,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display all sites in the Table Of Content web part.
There is a limitation of the web part, the maximum number of the items displaying in the web part is 50. If you want to display more 50 items, you need to increase or remove the limitation. You need to go to the web.config file of the SharePpoint site, the
path is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\port number, then find all navigation providers, and add
DynamicChildLimit attribute to each one . More information, please refer to the link below:
http://praveenbattula.blogspot.in/2010/11/table-of-contents-web-part-remove-max.html
Note: before changing web.config, please make a backup for the file.
After the above, if your issue still exists, please open your site->Site Settings->Navigation, change the value from 20 to [whatever number you want to display] in the “Current Navigation”section. More information,
please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

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

How to display all the surveys using content query web part

Can you please tell me how to display all the surveys using content query web part in more details? I also created a subsite and multiple surveys in that site. Then, I inserted a Content Query Web Part and select the List Type to be "Survey",
however, it returned nothing. Did I miss anything?

Hi,
OOTB Survey List does not contain any
Content Types and it has the following structure:
Response entry is represented by
List Item
Response entry consist of questions and answers, where Question correspond to
Field and Answer to Item value respectively.
For querying Survey List via CQWP the following properties could be used
BaseType
<Lists BaseType="4">
ServerTemplate
<Lists ServerTemplate="102">
Example
To retrieve all the responses from Survey lists, specify List Type property as shown on picture

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>

How to display the field name in the tabulated view for a content query web part

I have added a content query web part changed the web part file to include custom columns imported and reffered itemstyle.xsl
to include the tabulated view for the content query.
However the way it is displayed is such that only the content is displayed.
As i am using a tabular view wto display the data, i want to display their field names as well.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to display the field in the tabulated view for a content query web part.
For your issue, please refer to the code as below:
<xsl:template name="VendorCustomStyle" match="Row[@Style='VendorCustomStyle']" mode="itemstyle">
<html>
<table width="100%">
<xsl:if test="count(preceding-sibling::*)=0">
<tr>
<td width="8%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor ID</b></div></td>
<td width="12%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Name</b></div></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Description</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Country</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Date</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Created By</b></div></td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
<tr>
<td width="8%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@VendorID" /></div></td>
<td width="12%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Title" /></div></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Description" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Country" /></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Date" /></div></td>

How to display names without file extension in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

I try to display names in Content Query Web Part but it shows file extension. I cannot find a way in CQWP editor that can exclude file extension. Is there a way to display names excluding file extensions thru settings in the CQWP editor?
I have to edit the code in SharePoint Designer, right?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

In the file ContentQueryMain you have already a function to get the file without extension.
So we just can use this:
<xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetFileNameWithoutExtension">
<xsl:with-param name="input" select="$DisplayTitle" />
</xsl:call-template>

Display Custom Fields in a SharePoint 2010 Content Query Web Part?

Using SharePoint 2010, Having Custom List With 4 Columns, Now I am Using Content Query Web-part To Display List Data ,But Currently It Display Only First Column, SO How to Display Custom Fields in a SharePoint 2010 Content By Query Web Part
AKshay Nangare

Hi,
By default CQWP shows only one column. However, if you want to show more than one column, then CQWP needs to be customized. The property which you are looking for is CommonViewFields. It is used to specify the additional fields that you want to display in
the Web Part. See this for more information:

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 and special characters in file names

Hi All,
Is there an out-of-box way to display periods in a file name if I am displaying a document library files? I do not want to end up doing a custom item style if possible.
For example, file name is 8.5x11Letterhead.docx, 8.5x11Resume.pdf etc. I do not want to display the file names as 85x11Letterhead.docx.
Thanks

Hi,
Would mind providing a screenshot about how your Content Query Web Part rendering in your environment?
In my environment, it displays the filename which contains periods:
I would suggest you create a new page and insert a Content Query Web Part to perform the test again.
Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any progress.

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
