Web Part Not Re-sizing Based on Width Property

I have a SP 2010 publishing site with a custom master page, using the Body Only page layout. I inserted a discussion board web part in the page content section of the page. When I go into the standard web part properties and try to set an absolute
width (in pixels), the web part itself does not squeeze down to this size. Instead, the web part content stays the same size, and some other div involved gets the width applied and covers up the web part content (sounds confusing, see image below for
example).
I tried this on a site with no master page and a web part zone, and it the web part content itself resized, which is what I was hoping to see above. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does the web part need to be in an actual web part zone in
order to resize? Or is this all just a problem with my custom master/styles? I suspect it may be the latter, but I'm not sure how much control I have to fix it. Anyway, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Image samples below
to illustrate the issue.
IMAGE 1: See how "Last Updated" is cut off at the end? This was set to 600 pixels. The web part content doesn't resize.
IMAGE 2: This was set to 500 pixels in a traditional web part zone on a page with no custom master. The content resizes as expected.

I would use the Internet Explorer Developer tools to inspect the page and the styles being applied to the webpart. That will give you a clear understanding of what styles are being applied to your webpart (and the HTML that the webpart renders).
You can then use an HTML Form webpart (or attach a stylesheet) to apply CSS styles to override the width property and any other styles that require changing, in order to get the webpart to display correctly for your given width.

Cannot create mysites from powershell: Original XSLT List View Web Part not found

I have a bizarre problem in my SharePoint 2013 farm. This does not occur in my test farm, only in the farm we were going to go live with.
I'm on windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 SP1, SharePoint 2013 April CU. 1 appserver/centraladmin server, 2 web servers.
When I log into our mysitehost and click newsfeed, it will create a mysite (even though first it displays "we are sorry there was a problem creating your site")
But from powershell, whether I use $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite() or New-SPSite, I get the following error:
Original XSLT List View Web Part not found
So far I've only found one other person with this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2503e42c-e114-4e89-8e00-89fe70f0b154/cannot-create-sharepoint-mysite-programmatically
This is a brand new farm, created with the same scripts I created my test farm with, and same version of SharePoint. Only the service accounts are different. (Farm account has admin on the servers right now since I was setting up profile service).
Some other errors from the same correlation ID that look related:
It can't seem to find the listemplate 101
And something looks wrong with the MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
I have tried the following:
1. run psconfig.exe on each server
2. install-spfeature -AllExistingFeatures
3. looped through the directory under Features and for each called Install-SPFeature $dirname -Force
4. uninstalled and reinstalled MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
5. blew away the whole farm (removed all servers from farm, deleted all databases) and recreated it.
6. tried creating the UPA from the CentralAdmin gui.
The only real difference I can think of between the working farm and non working farm is, I installed the working farm using RTM, then as they came out added the March PU and April CU. For this farm I installed RTM and March and April, and then ran my build
farm script.
I am at a loss. What do I need to do, re-install the binaries? That's all I can think of. What I love is that our test / POC system worked fine, and now 2 weeks before go-live I'm seeing errors on the production servers I've never seen before. Using the
same scripts no less.

I've had other problems in this farm: the bug where when you add Administrators to a Search Service via the Manage Service Applications page, it removes the SPSearchDBAdmin role from the search service process account. That one did not happen in the other farm.
At least other people have that one and I could just use the farm admin instead (still troublng of course).

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

SQL Report Viewer Web Part Not displaying Report

I have just completed updating an old report using report builder 3.0. I have added it to SharePoint Designer but have not replaced the old report file.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
All I did was export the old report from sharepoint designer to my desktop. Then opened it with Report Builder 3.0- made changes to the report and saved it with a different name (for safety in case i break things) and then upload it back to the same place where
the old report was located using SP Designer. I then went back to the site in sharepoint that is displaying the old report, and changed the URL path in the SQL report viewer to the new report.
Now the SQL Report Viewer web part isn't showing anything (blank)

Web part not visible after changing the language

Hello,
we use several languages in our SharePoint based intranet and on our landing page we use content query web part. We use 4 languages and for 3 languages everything works fine but for one language the content query web part is not displayed for standard user.
For site collection admin user everything works fine. Has anyone any idea what the reason for that could be?

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/84774/content-search-web-part-missing
his webpart has not yet been rolled out to all tenants. The roll out is not yet fully completed.
You can use the trick from
here to check if you have gotten the roll out:
Log in to your SharePoint Online
Navigate to https://YOUR ADDRESS/_vti_pvt/service.cnf
If vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.2120 you should have Content by Search webpart

List view web part not reflecting changes made to list view in SharePoint Designer

Dear All,
When adding a list view web part containing a view modified in SharePoint designer (e.g. conditional formatting applied, or group headers modified) I'm finding that the changes made in SPD are not reflected in the web part.
For example, I go into SPD edit a view, and the view appears correctly when I go back into SharePoint, however when I link to the view within a list view web part it results in losing the changes made in SPD.
Becasue it's a publishing page I'm unable to edit the contents of the web part in SPD.
I'm sure this is expected behavior but how do I get around this?
Thnaks,
MDB

Items to display in list view web part not showing the items setup

Hi, I have the following issue. I have a list view web part, but the web part is showing more items that the ones setup in the: Number of items to display in list view web part for this view.
It is because that works when using datasheet view and not a normal view? Is there any technical documentation from Microsoft supporting this?

thank you for your answer. It is interesting that the mobile view with the items to show in the mobile view doesn't work in the webpart, but it works when you are using datasheet view, but if you uncheck to activate the mobile view, then, the webpart doesn't
show information, so, it works partially because one part works and not the other.

SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

Hello all,
I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
1. Check whether the user can access the list.
2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
Thanks,
Jason

SharePoint 2010 list view web part not showing conditional formatting

when I create conditional formatting in custom list is working fine & when it call through web part page (Data view web part) conditional formatting not showing. data is showing without conditional formatting.
Dinuka M.

When you use conditional formatting on some page it is writing inline CSS codes inside that page. thats why when you create a new page and add the same web part to that page, you must edit that page to apply conditional formatting to that
web part.
Best Regards, Mustafa Yılmaz MCITP, MCPD | www.mustafa-yilmaz.org | www.sharepointciyiz.biz
When you say edit the page, do you mean edit it in SharePoint Designer, or in SharePoint itself. And is it a case of just editing, then saving the page and it will apply the conditional formatting, or is there a specific property you need to edit, and if so,
what is it?

Tamara Bredemus SharePoint Minion...working up to Maven

Hi Aries,
Thanks so much for your response. Here are the anwers to your questions
1. is there any customization process on this webpart? - No customizations
2. have you try to restart the community feature from the site feature option in site settings? - Not yet. Thanks for the suggestion. This is a Communities Site Collection. All of the other Community features are working. Should I ask the Farm Admin to restart
the communities feature?
3. have you tried to add another what's happening webpart at newdummy site? No I haven't. Great suggestion. Kinda embarresed that I didn't think of this. Must have been tired that day.
4. is there any steps that you did before?, because in my lab box seems the webpart works well. - I tried deleting it from the page and then adding it back, but to no avail. Will try a test site.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I will test and then mark your reply as an answer if all works out.

RSS Viewer Web part not working after installing kb2767793

Hi,
I just patched our sharepoint farm with kb2767793 - after installing this CU the RSS Web part is no longer loading as expected on our pages, it just keeps trying to load forever.
If I choose to edit the page the RSS feed loads with no issues when in edit mode. When going back to published view I experience the same issue.
The symptom is only present if the page contains more web parts eg Content Query Web part. If I create a page with only the RSS viewer web part it functions as expected.
Has anyone experienced this or has any suggestions?
Thanks,
Luke

We have the same issue after installing the April security updates.
I opened a support case with Microsoft and they proposed these using one of these solutions (see below).
Unfortunately these did not work for us.
Summary
Page Level: add a CEWP to the page and add the following custom script to it:
Save the following JavaScript to a .txt file and upload the file to any document library in the root of the site.
<Script Type="text/javascript">
function CustomUpdateFormDigest()
if(window._spPageContextInfo != null)
var $v_2 = window._spPageContextInfo;
var $v_3 = $v_2.webServerRelativeUrl;
var $v_4 = window._spFormDigestRefreshInterval;
UpdateFormDigest($v_3, $v_4);
CustomUpdateFormDigest();
</Script>
Adding the above script to the Master Page
3) Web Application Level:
Turn off Security Validation for the pages from Central Admin -> Web Application -> General Settings.

Adding Page View Web Part with dynamic URL based on visited mysite user

Problem:
I want to add an iframe (using Page View Web Part for example) on all mysite users front page (person.aspx) with following address:
http://webservice/calendar?user=name
The property "name" represents a dynamic value based on which person the user is visiting. Hence if i open "Tom Hanks" mysite profile, the iframe will show content from http://webservice/calendar?user=Tom%Hanks
(This is a custom made calendar from Domino)
Any suggestions welcome.

Hi,
The Page Viewer Web Part is basically an HTML IFRAME. We can use a Content Editor Web Part with an IFRAME and a little JavaScript to meet your requirement.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Page Viewer Web Part Not Displaying

I've added a Page Viewer to my SharePoint site underneath a Content Editor. When I'm editing the Page Viewer Web Part I can see the page but if I close the Web Part editor the page doesn't display.
If I move the Page Viewer Web Part above the Content Editor it displays but the Content Editor does not.
Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have HTML or a script written in your Content editor? maybe the code isn't properly formatted with proper opening of elements or closing of elements? I'd start there. Also try using the F12 in your IE browser to inspect the HTML the page is displaying.
That might help zero in on the problem.

Infopath Form Web Part not showing form

Hello,
I recently edited a list form in a InfoPath 2010 and published it to my site. When clicking on "Add new item" it works fine. The new form shows up and all is well. The idea though was to enable the form from a separate page by using
the InfoPath Form Web Part. We have other forms setup this way on our site that work fine, but for some reason, when I added the web part to the page, pointed it at the list and set the custom content types (only single option anyways as the list is
built on a custom content type) nothing is displayed within the web part.
I can't find any difference between my form and the already created forms, but as I didn't create the ones that are working I may have missed some setting. There is no error, no message, just a blank web part... Actually, that's not true. When I
check in the page I see nothing. But when I publish it, I see only a close link and a bit of a header div.
If anyone would happen to have seen this before, know what it is or know how to fix it I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you.

Hi David,
From your description, you published an InfoPath form to SharePoint list, and it worked well in the list. However, when you added an InfoPath form web part to another page, it displayed as image.
I could not reproduce the issue, I just selected list and content type, left all other settings as default, it displayed as expected. Did I miss anything during reproducing your issue? Did you make any customization to web part or InfoPath form?

List View Web part not showing all available views for list

We have added a list view web part to a page, and we get the "Current View" link in the web part...which is configurable when modifying the actual web part.
What we'd like to see (instead of having to click the ellipses button/context menu to get the other views) is the views displayed horizontally like when you are viewing the list itself.
When viewing the list itself, we see "All Items" "View 1" "View 2", etc.
Is this possible in the list view web part to display all available views in a horizontal/breadcrumb layout? Please advise.

The below works via alert, just need to now assign data to a <DIV> or element for display.
Trying this in simple webpart code snippet to get back all views:
    <script>
    var viewCollection = null;
        function runCode() {
            var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
                var web = clientContext.get_web();
                var listCollection = web.get_lists();
                var list = listCollection.getByTitle("MyListName");
                this.viewCollection = list.get_views();
                //var viewInfo = new SP.ViewCreationInformation();
                //viewInfo.set_title('MyView');
                //this.viewCollection.add(viewInfo);
                clientContext.load(this.viewCollection);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
        function onQuerySucceeded() {
            var viewInfo = 'Tasks list current views: \n\n';
            var viewEnumerator = this.viewCollection.getEnumerator();
            while (viewEnumerator.moveNext()) {
                var view = viewEnumerator.get_current();
                viewInfo += view.get_title() + '\n';
            alert(viewInfo);
        function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
            alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    </script>
