Promoted Links Rollup and CQWP / CSWP

I would like to do the following:
Have Promoted Links List Type on certain key sub sites.
Using a CQWP or CSWP roll up the Promoted Links to a main landing page, including images that are used in the PromotedLink (albeit smaller). I have seen a few examples of CSWP where there is a small image on the left, that is what I would like to accomplish,
but have it be ONLY Promoted Links
Furthermore, the link for the item being returned in the query should not be a link to the item itself, but it should be the link it is actually linking to... :)
I seem to be struggling with how to accomplish this in either CQWP or CSWP
For example in CQWP, I am able to return all the items from all the ListType=Promoted Links. But I cannot get any images to to display, and of course, the link coming back in the query is a link to the actual Promoted Link item, as opposed to the actual
link, and I cannot successfully replace the Link property with the "Link Location" field coming from the Promoted Link item.
In CSWP, I cannot seem to query based on the correct Content Type, and I am also getting no images back at all.
To me, rolling up Promoted Links in this fashion seems like it should be a slam-dunk, but it is not, unless there is something I am missing.
Can someone please tell me if what I am trying to accomplish is possible without a lot of extra work, or should I move on to another method?
Thank you

I did find this article, and I tried it. the problem is that is appears as though I have other content types in there that start with 0x00 as this Site Collection contains some old upgraded content from 2007.
I find it only works cleanly when I include the entire ContentID from each list, which is cumbersome.
I am still unsure how to proceed with this. What I would really like is to be able to rollup Promoted Links in the same horizontal manner, and have a single list of links on the landing page. It might look similar to how the Windows 8 internet
explorer Frequent tiles look. So you could have a single promoted-link looking control on the front page that would rollup all promoted links and you could scroll side-to-side to see all the promoted links.
I realize this can be accomplished by creating a single Promoted Links list object at the base of the Site Collection,but that is also cumbersome. It would be nice to have site owners maintain their own promoted links and have it rollup to
the top automatically.
Of course this is also hindered by the fact that you cannot get CSWP to present horizontally OOB, and even if I used summary links, I would have to compact the view by using groups and spacing etc is not optimally without a lot of extra work, which I was
hoping to avoid in the interest of time
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Promoted Links Launch Behavior: Dialog

When using the Promoted Links app, and using the Dialog launch behavior, every link I have tried returns an error.
This does not happen with the other two launch behaviors, 'In page navigation and New tab'.
I have tried opening several links that I know are good, including SharePoint pages. All work in every launch behavior except, 'Dialog'.
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can ’t reproduce your issue.
I created a Promoted Links list, when I added items, every launch behavior worked fine.
Let’s verify the following:
Whether the issue exists in the other sites of the same site collections.
Whether the issue exists in the other sites of the different site collections.
Whether the issue exists in the other sites of the different web applications.
Done a test , compare the results.
Change a user with full control and done a test, compare the results.
Besides, check the SharePoint ULS log located at : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS to get a detailed error description.

Promoted links in center of page using CSS code in a script editor

I do not have access to the sharepoint designer (company policy) but I'm trying to get my promoted links in the center of my SharePoint-page. This all in a way that they stay centered when I change form laptopview (1366x768) to desktopview (1920x1080).
I've googled the problem but no solution is (yet) presented.
Can you help me to the script editor code I need?

Hi,
Have you tried using javascript inside a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) ?

SharePoint 2013 Promoted Links issue

Hi,
I am encountering an issue in which I need some input. This is a SharePoint 2013 environment and the issue is related to Promoted Links. The issue is that after 60 seconds the title on the promoted links disappear. Checking in developer tools, I notice
that the div tag that houses the title information disappears also. I am attaching the images that depict the behavior. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We need more investigation for troubleshooting:
Are you using OOB promoted links app in SharePoint 2013?
Is there customization on the issue app? If so, how did you customize it?

Apply Different Background Color to Promoted Links Tiles

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know a way of changing the background color of each individual tile of Promoted Links? If possible, and if anybody is familiar, I would like to do it using a JS Link file.
Thanks in advanced.
Fausto Capellan, Jr - SharePoint Admin

Hi Fausto,
You could try the script below to set color without randomly change:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var id;
var rgb;
var rgb1;
var rgb2;
var rgb3;
for (var i = 0; i < $("div.ms-tileview-tile-content").length; i++){
id = $("div.ms-tileview-tile-content")[i].id;
if(i%2 == 0){
rgb1 = getRgb(0,i);
rgb2 = getRgb(50,i);
rgb3 = getRgb(150,i);
}else{
rgb1 = getRgb(150,i);
rgb2 = getRgb(50,i);
rgb3 = getRgb(0,i);
rgb = "rgb("+rgb1+","+rgb2+","+rgb3+")";
$("#"+id).css("background-color",rgb);
function getRgb(n,i){
var rgbNum = n + i *25;
if (rgbNum < 255){
return rgbNum;
}else{
getRgb(1,1);
</script>
Please set the parameter “n” with number per your situation in the function getRgb(n,i). The screenshot below is my result:

Promoted Links, can't edit the tile

Happy New year!
Discovered today the Promoted Link feature, put in png icons, working ok except one. And can't edit it.
In the ITEMS tab I can click on "New Item" this opens the window to add another link/tile. But the "Edit Item" is greyed out. I don't know how to select the bad link/tile to be able to edit it. Or how to get to the window/list where I
put in the 3 initial icons, 2 still work, the other can't edit.
I am using SP Online, and it is my account as I am the admin. (just learning/playing with SP)
The first time I deleted the app and started over, but now it's doing it again.
How can I fix this?
Pierre
I just answered my own question, so will post this anyway, for others.

I'm not sure what view you are using so I'll try my best the promoted links app is basically a share point list that hen you add to a page provides a nice way to display links . You should see the '...' These three dots represent more options if you select
it and click edit item properties you will be able to edit the item If the view you are on is the thumbnail view switch it over to all items which will out it into a simple columns and rows type view which will allow you to so the more options on the items
and edit the specific item itself.

Display Promoted links in Multiple Lines

Hi,
I am trying to Display Promoted links in Multiple Lines in sharepoint Online and used the following link for reference:

When editing the webpart I am getting things correct as below:
Once I save this , its showing as list.
Any suggestions or help in this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The solution you mentioned did not work form me either. I digged through the internet and something else worked:
On a single page add a Script Editor Web Part and paste the following code in the source:
<style type="text/css">
.ms-promlink-body {width:100%}
.ms-promlink-header {visibility:hidden}
< /style>
Works perfectly for me!

Hiding some promoted links in a list

Hi,
I have a situation where I have a list of 4 promoted links on a web page. For different user groups, though, I want to limit what they can and can't see.
For example, there are 4 links. There is also a group A and group B. I want group A to see all 4 links but group B to only see 2 of them.
From what I've read, I think I need to access the "Shared With" button on the items tab in promoted links, but that is greyed out. I am a site admin though, do I still need higher access levels?

Hi Adam,
SharePoint is supported to grant the permission on list item level.
Then when groupA has permission on all list items, the users contained in groupA will see all items.
When groupB has permission on only two items of the four, then suers contained in groupB will only see two items which they have permissions on.
For your requirement, you can go to prompted links list, then break the permission for the particular two items, and then remove the groups you don't want them to access these two items, then check results again.
More info for your reference.

Promoted Links app Behaviour=Dialog Question

Greetings all. I have an issue with the Promoted Links app. Here is the situation:
Site Collection created as a Publishing Site
Home changed to Page Layout – Blank Web Part Page
Have a Promoted Links app (titled Networking Actions) that has 1 item in it. This item opens a custom list from the site in dialog (Launch Behavior = Dialog).
This action works fine if I just open the Networking Actions app from all site content and click on the tile (it opens the list in dialog).
I add the Networking Actions app to the home page in a web part zone.
I click on the tile to open the list, nothing happens and I get the lovely exclamation ERROR ON PAGE in the lower left hand corner.
I change the Launch Behavior to NEW TAB or IN PAGE NAVIGATION and it works fine from the home page.
All security for all items on the site is setup to inherit from the site. Doesn’t matter where the user account is setup (Owner, Member or Visitor) it still will not work when launched from the web part zone.
I’d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. The Promoted Links app is super great, unless the dialog isn’t going to work as advertised.

Hi ,
Promoted link webpart ,launch behavior is working fine in designer log in.
But for visitor sign in ,throws error
"sp.res.defaultdialogwidth is null or not an object ".
<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof SP.UI.ModalDialog === 'undefined'){
var script=document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
script.setAttribute("src", "https://cdn.sharepointonline.com/3820/_layouts/15/sp.ui.dialog.js");
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
</script>
Above highlighted url error speciifies that url
"sp.res.defaultdialogwidth is null or not an object ".

Promoted links with Image Carousel (Rotating Banner)

Hi,
I am using promoted links webpart. I want to have cycle of images. For eg: I have 10 images . With the slider , I can go to next image horizontally. Once I reach the 10th image,there won't be any next option. I want to display the 1st image after
the 10th. Means, the sliding should be never ending. How can I achieve this. I think I can use javascript to override the default promoted links functionality. Please suggest on how to do this. Thank you

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to achieve rotating banner for promoted links web part.
With JavaScript, it will be easier to implement such a web part.
Here are two links with code demos for your reference:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/667584/Image-Rotator-in-JavaScript
http://jsfiddle.net/jtbowden/UNZR5/1/
You can also take use of these jQuery image plugins in your project:

Can you create two separate tile views for a Promoted Links List

I have lots of pages on my site where i want the effect of the promoted links list tile view. However, i don't want the same links to show up on every spot i use it. Is there not a way to create separate tile views so you can create filtering conditions?
Right now i am stuck having 5 separate lists with 5 items in each because of this limitation. Am i missing something?
I look forward to your responses.
~Zach

There is an easy way to do this.
Add columns to the Promoted Links list.
Add a column named Page.
Type in name of the page on which you would like this link to appear.
Add a column named Row.
Create a view filtered by page name and Row. Example: Show only when Page = HomePage AND Row = 1
Create another view filtered by page name and another Row. Example: Show only when Page = HomePage AND Row = 2.
Go the page you would like the links to appear. Edit the Page.
Add Promoted Links app part (still not used to the app thing) and select your view for Row 1
Add another Promoted Links app part and select the view for Row 2.
Lather, Rinse and Repeat.

Difference vs rollup and aggregation

Hey guys,
I know they are both the same i.e. Rollup and aggregate. i guess I need to know the difference between MAINTAIN AGGREGATE (when you click on an infocube it gives you the option to maintain aggregate) and ROLLUP (when you go to manage an infocube and click on the tab called Rollup. Also I need to know if there is a document or an article that would tell me the criteria of creating aggregate.
Thanks and your help is much appreciated as always,
RG

Hi Ram,
Rollup is like delta from Cube to the agggregates. When ever we post a new data into Cube, the need to be updated into t he aggregate tables to be visible in reporting. If you have aggregate on a cube, then when new data gets into the cube, there is a process to fill the new data into the aggregate and this process is called roll up.
Rollup is the process to load deltas into aggregate from cube.While you are creating the aggregate you have to fill the aggregateit is right.. that is initial fill. After that new data will come to cube, thisnew/delta data should be reflected in the aggregate for further reporting.o do this we use to run ROLLUP in the info cube manage option.f it's not rollup and the cube is having aggregate and the aggregate is in active mode, then you won't get latest information in your query.
<u><b>Importance of Rollup:</b></u>
1. once you load data into Infocube is to ensure that recent data is available for reporting.
2. Rollup analyze and updates database statistics for aggregate objects.

Promoted Links - add rows

Hi,
I really need to be able to split out my promoted links by rows.
I found this blog/guide buy I'm a newbie and don't understand how to add a 'jquery' or what that even means.
Here's the link maybe someone here can explain how I do this:

Yes,
You need "jquery.min.js" file, you can download this file from the following link and then copy the file to the layout folder.
http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/15/MyJSFiles/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/15/MyJSFiles/MyJSFile.js">
</script>
or directly refer the JS from the site as shown code.
<script language="javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js">
</script>
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/15/MyJSFiles/MyJSFile.js">
</script>
Use either one technique and refer the files in the script editor.
