Cross-Site Display Web Part in SharePoint 2010

Every document library has its default web part called List view web part. So when we create a Document Library or list on a site, by default a
List View Web Part is created. We can see that when we try to Insert a Web Part on a site. For instance, for
Division Level Financial Records Document Library, the list view web part will be called, “Division Level Financial Records.”
But we will only see this web part when we actually create a library or list on the current site itself.
I would like to learn about Cross-Site Display Web Part. So I can have a document Library in one site and can retrieve, view, and upload records from a different site within the same site collection. I know Bamboo Solutions offers a web part that can
do this. Any other? Any sample code to design a custom web part?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Mayank,
If you want to display content within a site collection then you can also use CQWP and dataview webpart but if you want to show content in different site collection then you have to create custom webpart.
You can also try with codeplex webpart:

For creating own webpart, please look at here:

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>

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.

Cannot complete successful installation of Yammer 3.1.4 Web part on SharePoint 2010 Standard

I have installed Yammer server component successfully.
I have inserted the Yammer Web Part (Ver 3.1.4) onto a page in SharePoint 2010.
However, when in view the page the place on the page where the web part should how up has an error:
System Exception: Unable to load web part.
When I edit the page and look at the web part, it looks normal, showing the feed types, but when I select a feed, like "Company Feed", I get a popup window that says "To save your change before continuing, click OK. To continue without saving,
select CANCEL.

Hi Larry,
According to your description, the Yammer web part doesn't load when you used it in a page.
You must configure the web part to point to a network. Edit the page, select the desired feed, and choose a network. Then, Save the page.
More information, please refer to the links:

How to Resolve Can not Display Web part error using CQWP and a blog

I have a SharePoint 2010 site with a home page that has a CQWP (content Query Web Part) tied to the most recent blog of blog site with a list of blogs.  Randomly, some clients will experience a "Unable to display
a web part". Our client machines are set up with Roaming profiles that are PKI enabled. Some users are always able to see the resulting blog on the home page, while other users, experience sporadic ability to see the blog ----getting a
"Unable to display web part".  Also a client can be on one machine and get the error and then log on to another machine and not get the error. Its also seems that when a new blog is added to the blog list this is when the
ability to see the blog on the home page may come up as an error. Our setup is simple:   show items= list/posts, List type=Posts, Content Type Group= List Content Type, Content type=Posts, no audience targeting, not additonal filters,
group items by = None Descending, #columns =1, sort items by =published -descending   Limit # display items = 1, Gropup style = Default, itemstyle= image on left, yes play media links, Fields to display = titlt
and Description (body)
What kind of things could cause the random behavior?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred occasionally with the Content Query web part.
I tested the same scenario in my environment, and the web part worked fine.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Did this issue occur with all the Content Query web part? I recommend to create a new Content Query web part to see if the issue still occurs.
Did this issue occur with all the users who have permission to view the web part?
Deactivate the Publish feature and then re-activate it to see if the issue still occurs.
Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
Best regards.
Thanks

Status of DataView Web Part in SharePoint 2013

I hope this is a simple question but I'm stumped. What is the status of the DataView Web Part in SharePoint 2013? I am working on a migration of our site from SP 2010 to SP 2013. We previously had a DataView Web Part which is used widely on our site. It
is not showing up and the error is "Type type could not be found or it is not registered as safe." When I try to add a new copy of this web part, I get the message "The type Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataViewWebPart....PublicKeyToen=71e9bce111e9429c"
could not be found or it is not registered as safe.
I'm not the Farm Admin is this case, so my question is whether the web.config needs to be edited to make this usable, or something else perhaps. Or am I simply out of luck using this in SharePoint 2013.
Any help is appreciated!

I suspect you will need to compare the web.config files on the new 2013 system to the ones on the old 2010 system and evaluate the differences. The safecontrol entry is in my default 2013 environment. If its not in yours it will need to be added.
For any web part to work you need three things:
A safe control entry in the web.config
A .dll that contains the code that generates the html displayed when the web part is rendered.
A .dwp or .webpart file in the web part gallery that contains info about what class and .dll to use
#3 should be in the content database you are migrating. YOu'll need to verify that #1 & #2 exist.

Move A Site From Moss 2007 To Sharepoint 2010

i have a site in sharepoint 2007 and i want to move it to a sharepoint 2010 server
not too sure what is the best method to do this ?
thanks

I landed in this thread because I had a similar need to Muthuvel's. I am wanting to bring over just one subsite out of several. My database in 2007 is around 7GB, and all I really want is just one site out of the many in it.
Ahmed's Ammar's steps were just right, and worked well for me in order to get the complete 7GB database over to SharePoint 2010, and later export\import that single site I was looking for.
For Muthuvel, here are my updated steps, starting with Ahmed's text (sorry for plagiarizing!). Steps 7 and 9 are for subsites. See links at the bottom for dealing with site collections.
1) Find the content Database; These are listed under Central Admin->Application Management->Site Collection List
2) Backup the content database. Just doing a backup in SQL Server Management studio.
3) Restore content database to the new server, I mean the DB server for your SP2010
Copy the BAK file to new server. Create an empty DB in Management Studio, restore from backup, you may need to change an option in the "options" tab of the restore dialog to get it to work. (Overwrite db).
4) Create a new Web App on SharePoint 2010
For Step 4, I created a new Web App, choosing to create it with a suggested port number, such as 4072. This was a temporary web application that I ended up deleting later.
5) Remove Content Database from the new web app.
I didn't find that you neeed to remove the Content Database first. You can add the content database by Central Admin or by STSADM, or by Powershell.
Central Admin would be Application Management > Web Applications > Manage Content DAtabases > Set the web application to your newly created web app > Add Content Database > specify the name of the database you just restored
STSADM is as Ahmed gave:
Now use STSADM to add restored DB to this web app
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extentions\14\bin on new server is where you can find the STSADM.
run this command from there. Which will upgrade the content db to 2010?
stsadm -o addcontentdb -url http://yourwebapp:port -databasename yourcontentdb -databaseserver yoursqlserver
Powershell would be this command below. Be sure to run the "SharePoint 2010 Management Powershell" console, found under Programs\SharePoint 2010 Products. If you run just regular powershell this won't work.
Mount-SPContentDatabase "MyDatabase" -DatabaseServer "MyServer" -WebApplication
http://sitename:port
6) Run ISSRESET from command prompt
I'm not sure this was necessary, but I did it anyway.
NOW, the rest of the part about getting that subsite you want.
7) Export the subsite. I did this with Powershell.
Export-SPWeb http://sitename:port/sites/subsitename –Path "subsitename.cmp"
8) Create a new site for you to import this subsite into, in the Web Application where you want it to go. This would be done with the regular Site Actions > New Site command. You can also do it from Powershell, but that requires knowing
site templates by name, something I'm just learning myself. The other thing here is that you have to create the subsite using the same template as the site you just exported. So if that was a Team site, be sure to use a team site when you create
this new area.
9) Import the subsite to where you want it to land permanently. Here I'm saying port 80 because that's the requirement Muthuvel mentioned.
Import-SPWeb http://sitename:80 –Path "subsitename.cmp" -Overwrite
10) Even after things say they are done on the server, the site may take an extra minute or two to come up when testing from a client. Give it a little time. Once it comes up, somehow I found a way to change the visual appearance from the old SharePoint
2007 to SharePoint 2010, but now that I flipped that switch, I can't find the option again. So I'm sorry that I am not documenting that here.
11) Delete that temporary web app you created in step 4. Again you can do this with Central Admin or Powershell. Here's the Central Admin way:
Central Admin would be Application Management > Web Applications > Manage Web Applications, land on the temporary web app, click Delete. Choose Yes to deleting the content database and the IIS web site.
GROAN!! I'm sorry, I just wrote all this out and realized Muthuvel was asking about a site collection, not a subsite. Then for Steps 7 and 9 you'd want to use
Backup-SPSite
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748617.aspx
and
Restore-SPSite
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx
Good luck, hope someone else finds this as useful as I did!

Displaying Access Data in SharePoint 2010/2013

We have an old application. The website is designed using Front Page that retrieves data from an Access Database. The web site has a few fields. The user enters the information and hits the Submit Button. The application runs a SQL query and fetches
data from Access DB. Data then shows up in a Grid.
I want to create this solution in SharePoint. Still not sure whether the data should reside in SharePoint or in Access.
What is the best approach?
I should transfer data into SharePoint from Access. Then prompt the user to enter some data.
Would InfoPath be a good choice?
If I leave the data in Access, is Data View Web Part the preferred way to get data?
Thanks so much!
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to dispaly Access Database data in SharePoint.
If your Access Database is a web database, you can publlish your Access database to SharePoint with the following method:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/hub/archive/2010/11/08/publish-your-access-database-to-sharepoint.aspx

If your Access Database is a desktop database, you can publish your Access database to SharePoint with the following method:

Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results...again

Hi,
I found a thread in this forum With an answere to a similiar question here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/28bc1e27-4a65-4c61-9b3e-cb9dad17f779/office-web-apps-preview-sharepoint-2010-documents-in-sharepoint-2013-search-results?forum=sharepointsearch&prof=required
...With the answere:
"OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013. It cannot use this when talking to 2010. In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
BUT...
may anyone give more information how to do this?
Links to articles? Links to description and samples?
jik

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

How to Export Team Site Site Pages to .aspx and for subsequent upload to other Team Site and Web Part Customisation included. (Powershell)

Hi guys,
Can i please technically know how to export an .aspx file (in Site Pages library of a team site) to local file?
Basically, SharePoint Designer has this feature "Export File"
i Need exactly the same feature that can be done in Powershell
I tried the following
$web = get-spweb "MY URL"
$folder = $web.GetFolder("SitePages")
$files = $folder.files
#trying to download the first file
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("C:\\LocalPath",$files[0].OpenRead(),$true)
The file exported via this method is Clean HTML without the Web Part Customisation!
I NEED the web part customisation in the exported files.
Sample downloaded via above script

<tr>
<td id="_invisibleIfEmpty" name="_invisibleIfEmpty" valign="top" height="100%"> <WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" Title="loc:LeftColumn" ID="LeftColumn" FrameType="TitleBarOnly"/> </td>
<td id="_invisibleIfEmpty" name="_invisibleIfEmpty" valign="top" height="100%"> <WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" Title="loc:MiddleColumn" ID="MiddleColumn" FrameType="TitleBarOnly"/> </td>
<td id="_invisibleIfEmpty" name="_invisibleIfEmpty" valign="top" height="100%"> <WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" Title="loc:RightColumn" ID="RightColumn" FrameType="TitleBarOnly"/> </td>
</tr>

I tried using WebRequest, it returns the End HTML, which is not working too.
Please if anyone has done this? Or is there any SharePoint Designer Developer here and is willing to share how to perform the export in SharePoint Designer via Powershell? API available?
Much Appreciated!
Cheng

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to export Team Site Site Pages to .aspx and for subsequent uploaded to other Team Site and Web Part Customisation included using Powershell.
You can export a specific file or object from the Export-SPWeb context.
Export-SPWeb -identity "http://sharepoint" -ItemUrl "/default.aspx" -Path "c:\default.aspx"
Import-SPWeb -identity "http://sharepoint" -Path "C:\default.aspx"
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

Get the current context of the site where web-part is added in the same site collection

Hi,
I'm creating a visual web-part in SharePoint 2013 using server object model (can't user COM as the code will run on the same server) to get all the members of "Members" group of the site/web wherever this web-part
will be added (in the same site-collection), so it will take the context of the site wherever it is added.
For Eg: I have a site collection "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance" OR "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance/Microsoft" OR some other subsite. I have used SPContext.Current property to get the current context
, but no success :( .
I tried in SPSite: SPContext.Current.Site ; new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.URL) and many other combinations with SPSite.
in SPWeb : site.openweb()
But I'm always getting the URL as "http://<Server_name>/" and not the context where the web-part is added in the same site collection.
Vipul Jain

Hi Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply. I'm able to get the access of members group through API's. Just wanted to know about the context in SPSite & SPWeb. As you suggested , is there no need to use SPSite ?
using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web)
SPGroup membersGroup = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"];
SPUserCollection lstMembers = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"].Users;
foreach (SPUser member in lstMembers)
// add all the group users to the list
users.Add(member.Name);
It's not working
