Display Search Results of Content Search WebPart in a Calendar Style

Hi,
I have currently the requirement to gather events from calendars (event list) that are spread among dozens of site collections. Calendar rollup or overlay only works within a sitecollection (right?). 
I thought that I might be able to use the Content Search WebPart for this task. Is it possible to create displaytemplates that transform the search results into a calendar like view?
Thanks
Sven

Hi Sven,
As I tested, I can overlay SharePoint calendars across site collections in the same web application. However, by design it doesn't work across web applications.
I'd like to confirm if you are overlaying calendars across site collections or web applications. If your situation is the former, did you recieve any error message?

  • Content search webpart query is not rendering result as per the expectation !!

    Hello,
    I have 5 Content search web part on same page with different display templates.
    1) Search Aggregated Result - This display search results for announcements,discussion and wiki as per the current user.
    2) My websites - Thsi displays site links as per the current user.
    3) My Tasks - This display task items as per the current user
    4) Daily calendar - This display the results as per the date selection in calendar control.
    For Daily calendar - I have specified calendar control in custom display template to filter search results based on date selection which is working as below:
    I have got the reference from following link that changing the query dynamically to filter search result data - 
    http://sharepointificate.blogspot.in/2014/08/content-search-webpart-dynamic-filtering.html
    ctx.OnPostRender = [];
    ctx.OnPostRender.push(ctx,function(){
    $('<div id="trCalendar" class=""></div>').insertBefore('#idCalender')
    $(document).ready(function () {
    $("#trCalendar").datepicker( {
    onSelect: function(date) {
    var groups = Srch.ScriptApplicationManager.get_current().queryGroups;
    $.each(groups, function () {
    // Look for query groups associated with a CSWP
    if (this.displays != null && this.displays.length > 0) {
    if (this.displays[0] instanceof Srch.Result) {
    // Update and execute query
    var newQuery = 'ContentTypeId:0x0102*'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;
    this.dataProvider.set_queryTemplate(newQuery);
    this.dataProvider.issueQuery();
    selectWeek: true,
    However, this date query is being applied for every search result web part mentioned in page.
    How can I make it work only for the Daily Calendar web part ?
    Your answer will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dipti Chhatrapati

    Dipti,
    How about replacing you line as below (with content class)
    var newQuery = 'ContentTypeId:0x0102*'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;
    with
    var newQuery = 'contentclass:STS_ListItem_Events'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;

  • Choose display template based on result type - Content search webpart

    Hi 
    Is it possible to choose display template based on result type in content search webpart same like search results web part? If not available can it be achieved programmatically?
    The content search web part is queried against document content type. Based on the document type, the document has to be seen in the hover template.
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to choose display template based on result type as search result Webpart in Content Search Webpart.
    You could customize your display template for Content Search Web Part, please refer to this article:

  • Content Search Webpart is not displaying certain fields from my results

    I am rolling up some list data from a subsite to its parent site. The list includes the Title and Health fields. The Health field is an image column. When typing in "Health" into the second line to display for the webpart, it doesnt show anything
    when I save and refresh. The Title field works, however. Another field "Created" also works but I don't need to display that column in the webpart.
    Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Hi,
    Please change the mapping of managed properties for the fields in
    the Item Display Template.

  • How to display search results in content area

    Hi
                 How can I display search results in the content area as seen in sdn.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/frameset.htm you find the relevant guidelines.
    You can filter the PCD object setting the Search Layout Set of your Searc Iview.
    In System Admin > System Configuration > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set and duplicate the "SearchResultLayoutSet" layout set.
    Then you have to duplicate its Collection Renderer "StandardSearchResultRenderer".
    In its property "Resource Types to be Filtered" set as value "-http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/iview".
    Then assign the new Collection Renderer to the new Layout Set and that's it!
    Now if yuor Search Iview uses this new Layout Set, when you search a PCD object the iviews will not be shown!
    (or)
    In the entry "Predefined Properties" of the search options set, you will need to enter "resourcetype(value=http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/page/default)" if you want the search to be limited to resources defined as pages. Leave out /default if you dont want the end user to be able to change the filter.
    If you want the parameter reflected in the URL, you can find information about how to do it here: /message/280371#280371 [original link is broken]
    Check and try either ways.

  • How to get Result Count Content By Search Webpart (ContentBySearchWebPart)?

    I'm writing a webpart that extends the out of the box ContentBySearchWebPart.
    Does any one know how to get the search result count from this webpart?
    I did not find any property?

    Hi 
    Thanks but you are referring to the "Search Webpart". I am referring to the "Content Search" or often called "Content by Search" which is different. It's the one under Content Rollup.
    Although very similar they're not - Content Search WP doesn't have that property.
    What I am really after is to hide the whole webpart if there are no results coming back. I tried to figure it out and even write a jQuery that would search for the text "There are no results" message which comes from the webpart when result count=0
    and hide the parent webpart that way. There will be a short flash once the page loads rendering the webpart for a split second and then disappear by jQuery - which is not great UI experience.
    There is this property: "ShouldHideControlWhenEmpty" but it doesn't do anything when there are no results. The webpart is still visible. Webpart has a the Title and the Border around it so when there are no results the title and the border show
    up with no results. Like I said I want to hide the whole thing in that case.
    So I thought I could extend the OOTB ContentBySearchWebPart and get a hold of some kind property that would get me the result count. If the results count is 0 simply I would hide the webpart server side.
    Thoughts?

  • Custom Display template for Content Search webpart

    Hi,
    I am trying to customize the out of the box "slideshow" display template for content search webpart which renders Images.
    By default, the slideshow display template has a fixed the image size which is very small. Is it possible to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size?
    Can anyone please help on how to do this?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size in the Content Search web part.
    I recommend to create a custom Display Template (control and Item display templates) and use JQuery Slider plugin to achieve this goal.

  • Hide / Remove Content Search Webpart when no results returned

    Hi SharePoint friends
    I'm looking to find a way to hide the whole Content Search webpart (including the webpart title and border area) if there are no results coming back from the query.
    What I tried
    1. There is this property: "ShouldHideControlWhenEmpty" but it doesn't do anything when there are no results. The webpart is still visible. Webpart has a the Title and the Border around it so when
    there are no results the title and the border show up with no results. Like I said I want to hide the whole thing in that case.
    2. Wrote a jQuery script that searches for the text "There are no results" message (which comes from the webpart when there are no results) and hides the webpart. However, there is a short flicker once the page loads because the webpart first gets
    rendered for a split second and then disappears by virtue of my jQuery script - which is not great UI experience.
    3. So I thought I could extend the OOTB ContentBySearchWebPart and get a hold of some kind property that would get me the result count. If the results count is 0 simply I would hide the webpart server side. I looked
    at the documentation online - nothing I could find that I could leverage.
    Help? Thanks!

    Hi,
    To hide the whole Content Search Web Part when there is no result returned, a workaround can be like this:
    In the “Web Part Properties” panel, set checked the “Don't show anything when there are no results”, set the Chrome Type as “None”:
    By doing this, the whole web part will disappear when there is no result returned.

  • How to display Column of a particular list to page using Content Search Webpart?

    Hi,
    I am having two columns 'Column1 & Column2' in a list names Demo. I need to display the items of both the columns into a page with the help of Content Search Webpart. I am using SharePoint 2013 Platform.
    Expecting some useful comments on the same...!!
    Warm Regards,

    Hi,
    If you just want to display two columns of a list, Content Query Web Part will be more appropriate:

  • How To Expand And Display Recurring Events In Content Search Web Part?

    I have a requirement to display all upcoming events. So I used content search webpart to display all the events, however the only problem is that I'm unable to expand recurring events all together. Is there a way to do this?
    Vamsi Munagala

    Hi Vamsi,
    Per my knowledge, where is no OOB method to achieve your requirement.
    As a workaround, we can customize a web part to achieve it, querying Recurring Events using CAML Query and display the results in a SPGridView.

  • Content Search Webpart Property Filter

    Hi,
     I have two pages. In first page i added custom webpart with one textbox and search button. In second page i have content search webpart that should filter the result based on the property value we enter in the text box.
    I added the property filter PropertyNameOWSTEXT:{QueryString.MyParameter1} to the query. I am passing the value on click of button through query string to second page. I have results matching the query in my list but Content Serach Webpart not showing any
    results.
    Can anybody help???

  • Limit Content Search Webpart to a specific list

    Im am getting my feet wet with the Content search webpart, but I am stumbling over something that I believe should actually be easy, but I can't do it nevertheless.
    I want to display only items with a certain column entry from a docstore within another sitecollection. I thought of doing this with the Content search web part.
    1. In the advanced tab, I can limit the source of the query to a specific site, but not a specific docstore/List either through URL or ID. I simply get 0 results whereas leaving the ListID/ListUrl Parameter out, I get nicely all the relevant docs in the
    site
    path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListID={5329496C-7D13-4417-ABD3-97E6629A32B2} (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
    or another version
    path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListUrl=https://domain/sites/am/pm/Test_Musterportfolio/ (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
    2. Certain Column entry: I will attempt to do this through creating a list column as a managed property and then take if from there. Found a
    nice article in this Forum regarding that that Looks promising.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Raoul

    Hi Raoul,
    According to your description, my understanding is that there was 0 result when you search a library with Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
    Whether you did a crawl when you used content search web part.
    Please go to Central Administration, and do a full crawl for the content source. After crawling the content source , test the query in Content Search Web part, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • What are the possibilities and limitation of using Out of the box content search webpart on SharePoint Online 2013/O365 ?

    Hi All,
    We are migrating from on-premise SharPoint 2010 to SharePoint online 2013.
    I have few questions below: 
    What are the possibilities and limitations of using Out of the box content search webpart?
    Also, how the cross site publishing will work in SharePoint online something with managed navigations and product catalog apporach? if it is not supported, then what are the alternatives to acheive the same?

    Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
    It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
    world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
    Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
    Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
    The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:

  • How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart

    How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart using cross site publishing. Thanks in advance.

    I don't think you're going to be able to. Usually Approval Status is used in conjunction with Major/Minor versioning and while Approval Status is pending the item is usually a draft.
    As a result the search crawler should not be able to see the draft items as it would not have the necessary rights to do so. (Good practice ensures that the Search Crawler has only read access and is not an elevated account for this reason)
