Content Search web part - Display Project Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables

My ultimate goal is to display a rollup table of our active projects (from PWA) on another site collection using the content search web part. I can return default properties (such as the project name, author and URL) fairly easily using the same basic steps
in the link below.
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/roll-up-sharepoint-2013-sites-using-search
My problem is that I want to also display information associated with each project from our PWA enterprise custom fields (such as risk, phase, etc.)
Because these custom fields do not appear to be site columns, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how this data is searched / indexed / mapped.
Is it possible to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a content search web part?

Hi Jennifer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
As your active projects were from different site collection with the Content Search web part, you need to do a crawl for the content source, then create a managed property for the column in CA->Search Service Application->Search Schema. When you create
the managed property, select Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable. Then map it to the crawled property based on the custom column. You can find the crawled property by searching the name of the column in crawled properties.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Content Search Web Part - display template Error

Hi,
I have an office 365 site, where in I have more than one Content Search Web Part and I have written custom display templates to be used in CSWP.
Now, the issue is, whenever the page is browsed (intermittent in this case) and the page is edited to edit the CSWP (always in this case), the javascript files corresponding to the display templates are not loaded and because of which its throwing 'Sorry,
something went wrong' error.
Thanks
Senthil

Hi Senthu,
Any updates on this issue?
Since there are articles describe how to customize template for content search web part, I'd recommend you refer to them and check/debug your script:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_quick_reads/archive/2013/08/01/sharepoint-2013-customize-display-template-for-content-by-search-web-part-cswp-part-1.aspx

If you suspect there is performance issue, you could test it on other browsers or machines.
If the issue persists on reference in the script, please refer to the articles and try to find one which can meet your requirement.

description to show the selected news item.
When ever user selects any news from news.aspx page it will redirected to description.aspx with the selected item ID
The "Description.aspx" the search results page gets the data based on the URL by QueryString parameter as shown below

Content Search Web Part and Managed Property

Do I have to have cross-site collection publishing feature turned on for the Content Search Web Part to show a managed property?
I have a list and a column in that list called Colors. I created a managed property out of the crawled property for Colors column. On a page within the same site-collection, I added a content search web part (displays items from the earlier list) and
trying to display the managed property for Colors to show up for each of the items. For some reason, Colors value is not being displayed for the items.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Peter, appreciated. Here is my problem:
I created a site column and added it to the list. Added an item that has a value for this site column. System automatically generated a crawled property for the site column and also a managed property. Do I still have to perform step # 5 from above?
Now when I go into the content search web part and change the query to use this managed property as a refiner, it does not work.
I will try the debugging as you suggested.
In the meanwhile, Please let me know if you know of anything wrong I am doing.
UPDATE: I debugged it using IE Dev. Toolbar and the value for that managed property is being returned as null. What could be going wrong? How can I further troubleshoot this problem?

Use a Content Search Web Part to Display a Picture

Hello -
Is there a way to use the Content Search Web Part to display the most recently added picture to a specified application?
Please let me know if you need additional information to answer this question.
Thanks,

Hello Jordan,
I believe you could do this :
filetype:jpg OR filetype:png OR (and so on for all
images types)
AND path:"http://yoursite/youlibrary"

Content search web part to display only lists and libraries

Hi,
I want to configure Content Search Web Part to display only the names of lists and libraries inside my site collection. I tried adding Keyword filter "Only return lists and libraries", however it is also returning list items. Any idea on this issue?

Hi John,
Thanks.
Agree with your point. I can't use any code (that is client requirement). Also, still I use, I can't use it in this scenario. I want to display most visited lists and libraries (in last month or lifetime). I can use managed properties such as ViewsLifeTime
and ViewsRecent to sort it If i get the names of lists and libraries. Let me know if this clarifies the question more and you have an idea about it.

Office 365 - content search web part

Hi,
I have an office 365 site, and in one of the page, i had added 4 Content search web parts each of it having its own custom display templates.
Now, the problem is when the page is browsed (intermittent) or edited (always), the CSWP's throwing error as 'Sorry, something went wrong'. And I found that, the corresponding .js files are not getting loaded, including the language script, because of which
we are getting this error.
Please assist.
Thanks
Senthu

Hi Senthu,
This error occurs may be due to the display template has not been published as a major version.
Please go to the Master pages and page layouts in site settings > Display Templates > Content Web Parts > find the html file of the display templates used in your content search web part and then click the triangle and select Publish a Major Version.

Using Content search web part to retrieve items from another site collection

I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
-http://applicationname/teamsite
-http://applicationname/enterprisewiki
Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages from the enterprise wiki site collection(according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allow for cross-site content query. Currently I added a new content
search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's wiki page library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages , inside the following dialog:-
Basically this setting partially worked for me, I provide the following settings inside the “Build Your Query” dialog:-
From the “Select a Query” I defined the following:- “items matching content type(system).”
Restrict by app : “Do not restrict results by app”
Restrict by content type “Enterprise Wiki Page”.
This showed all the sites, lists and even pages are based on the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type. But I am facing these three problems:-
1. The above setting showed only the sites,lists and pages matching the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type, that exists on another web application, and not that exists inside the current web application.
2. To test the web part , I got the following results, But I was not able to add additional info for the items such as created by, modified by ,etc.
3. Also there is no way to sort the wiki pages by the modified date, as in the Sorting tab inside the “Build Your query” dialog I cannot find the “modified” inside the Soft by list
So can anyone advice how to fix these three problems

Hi,
1. In "Build Your Query" dialog, we can select "Specify a URL" in
Restrict by app and enter another site URL.
2. If you want to add more information for the items, we need customize the display template, the following link for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_quick_reads/archive/2013/08/01/sharepoint-2013-customize-display-template-for-content-by-search-web-part-cswp-part-1.aspx
3. In the Sorting tab, we can use "LastModifiedTime" to instead of "Modified".

Need Help ! Content Search Web Part with default callout menu as docoument library

I want the above functionality with the Content Search Web Part(CSWP).

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to create something like a
Content Search Web Part(which is introduced in SharePoint 2013) in your SharePoint 2010 environment with the callout menu functionality.
As there is no OOTB Content Search Web Part in SharePoint 2010, a suggestion is that you can build a custom web part with the help of
Search API and create custom callout menu for it.
Two demos about
how to work with Search API in SharePoint 2010 for your reference:

http://www.dotnetmafia.com/blogs/dotnettipoftheday/archive/2010/08/12/how-to-use-the-sharepoint-2010-enterprise-search-keywordquery-class.aspx
For about
how to create a custom callout menu, the JavaScript plugins below would be helpful:

Content Search Web Part with Hover Panel - Problem with positioning with css

Hi guys!
I´m having trouble with positioning the hover panel for the Content Search Web Part.
I used
this article to help me with luck as far as to the positioning. I´ve tried some inline styling but maybe my knowledge in css is no good enough here.
Here´s a screenshot from how this looks like. The hover panel generates a gap between the result items, the same height as the hover panel:

Hi Victoria!
No the gap comes without any inline css added from me. I´ve tried some inline styling, like z-index and position.
So, any ideas are welcome.
Here´s how my Display Template looks like:
<html xmlns:mso="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882">
<head>
<title>RC Customer Documents</title>

</head>
<body>

<script>
$includeLanguageScript(this.url, "~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Language Files/{Locale}/CustomStrings.js");
</script>

<div id="RC_CustomerDocuments">

<div class="cbs-Item" name="Item" id="_#= $htmlEncode(itemId) =#_" data-displaytemplate="RC_CustomerDocuments" onmouseover="_#= ctx.currentItem_ShowHoverPanelCallback =#_" onmouseout="_#= ctx.currentItem_HideHoverPanelCallback =#_">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="_#= $htmlEncode(hoverId) =#_" ></div>
</div>
<a class="cbs-ItemLink" title="_#= $htmlEncode(line1.defaultValueRenderer(line1)) =#_" id="_#= pictureLinkId =#_">
<img class="cbs-Thumbnail" src="_#= $urlHtmlEncode(iconURL) =#_" alt="_#= $htmlEncode(line1.defaultValueRenderer(line1)) =#_" id="_#= pictureId =#_" />
</a>
<div class="cbs-Detail" id="_#= dataContainerId =#_">

</div>
</div>
</div>

And here´s the hover panel:

Basically,ctx.CurrentItem.ServerRedirectedURL is calculated by a managed property ServerRedirectedURL which needs to be included in the display template.

Item title won't show in Content Search Web Part

Hi,
I am trying to show news items from one site on another site. I can show all attributes so far, except for the title.
The field name of the title in the news item is 'title'.
In crawled properties, I have linked the title to Title, RefinableString00 and RefinableString12.
But the title either displays DispForm.aspx as a title (when I select title), or nothing (when I select the mapped property RefinableString00 or RefinableString12).
What can/should I do to show the title field?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Item title did not show in Content Search Web Part.
You need to open the webpart either in SP designer or visual studio or as matter of fact in Notepad and search for the special property. And then add your list columns which you wants to display.

Hi,
We have a customer who use sharepoint which is adjasted to mobile, and it seems that when user access in vpn or mobile - it takes too much time till web parts are loaded. These are Content Search web parts that display pictures.

If blob cache is executed - it solve the latency but then there is another problem: it shows a part of a picture
