New Post: QueryOverride and WIKI posts

liamkennedy — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:09:54 GMT

I have this code working for most things... except for WIKI pages.

For WIKI pages I get the error "Unable to display this web part" when referencing any of the standard styles that should work in ItemStyle.xsl. On the same page I have a regular CQWP accessing the WIKI posts without any issue - so I know in theory it should work.

I've debugged the code... and found one odd thing when the query is returning Wiki Pages. The TITLE Column appears to be empty for each wiki post (it isn't if the item returned is a Blog post). I would guess that may not be entirely odd - as the WIKI pages title is actually constructed from the file name of the ASPX page anyway (which is returned in the FILEREF column)- so perhaps the CQWP knows how to handle that. However I tried setting this column to a value. The pages still do not display.

If I set the "ItemStyle" to show just the basic data (without any methods that return LinkURL) the items will display.

e.g. this is the itemstyle that displays the text
<xsl:template name="TitleWiki2" match="Row[@Style='TitleWiki2']" mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:value-of select="@Title" /><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="@WikiField" /><br/>

I can re-construct the HREF tags within the code... however... I reallty want this to work with the standard ItemStyle.xsl.

Any ideas on what might be happening? Has enyone else got this code working on Wiki Pages?

By the way... this is a great... GREAT example of how to extend the CQWP functionality. Thank you for creating this.

-Liam
p.s. I listed this as an Issue - however I just noticed the note which says support is only provided in the discussion area... hence... here it is..again. :-)

New Post: Dynamic cqwp queryoverride groupby problem

gustis — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:25:35 GMT

Well I managed to figure out that I CAN specify grouping in the toolpane and make it work IF I also specify <OrderBy> by the same column as the first orderby-element. Just for anyone else to hear if I'm not the only one having that problem...

New Post: Where is Content Rating?

lengilbert — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:52:06 GMT

We tried to get it to build and it had some "missing file" errors. Came back to this project and the content rating piece had been removed. This is great functionality (and should have been built-in to SharePoint). Hopefully it will be resurrected, possibly as its own project.

New Post: Dynamic cqwp queryoverride groupby problem

gustis — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:57:43 GMT

Grouping isn't working with the dynamic cqwp. It's possible to specify grouping in the toolpane but objects will not be grouped properly, the same group header may appear severeal times and the items are still in the order as retrieved by the queryoverride caml set in the query editor. I posted the details here: http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/69ad5de5-0f24-4506-b3db-1e8a40601909/

To counter this I tried to use <GroupBy> in my caml query. But for some reason this seems to be disallowed, it returns nothing and the webpart will contain only a message stating that there was some problem with the query. Isn't <GroupBy> valid dor use in the caml query?

If this problem could be solved somehow I would say that the dynamic cqwp is really a great tool, but I need my groups...

Thanks..

New Post: ContentRating error - Unable to retrieve configuration settings

PamWillox — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:56:04 GMT

Hi,

I successfully installed the Content Ratings feature on a Sharepoint site (Windows Server 2008) and it was (mostly) working well. I had several discussion boards with rated items. I then had to create a site on a different server (Windows Vista), and move all the content from the old server to the new.

On the new server, I created the new site collection. I created a new RatingsStore SQL Server database as per install instructions, and then I restored that database with a backup from the old RatingStore database.

I installed the ContentRatings feature to the new site and the post install checks looked fine.

I then exported the old site, and imported into the new site (with stsadm export and import) and can't get the ContentRatings feature to work. When I open a discussion board that has previously rated items I get an error "Unable to retrieve configuration settings". The log file shows the following:

Source: SPP Ratings. Error. Unable to retrieve configuration settings. Error msg: An item with the same key has already been added. Stack trace: at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Add(TKey key, TValue value) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetConfigurationBeginWith(SPSite site, String listName, String configurationName, String value, Boolean beginWith) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetConfiguration(SPSite site, String listName, String configurationName, Boolean beginWith) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Web.WebService.EntityConfigs.GetConfigData(String configurationName) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Web.WebService.EntityConfigs.GetConfigurationXml(String configurationName, String webId) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Web.WebService.EntityConfigs.GetConfigXml(String configurationId, Boolean isListId) at Microsoft.MSIT.Ratings.Web.WebService.EntityConfigs.ProcessGetRequest()

I have tried rebuilding and reinstalling again with no change.

(Incidentally, there was one error when the install.cmd was activating the RatingsAdministration feature "Failed to instantiate file: RatingsReport.css from module "StyleSheets": The specified list does not exist."

I removed "Type=GhostableInLibrary" from RatingModification.xml, and then manually activated the RatingsAdministration feature.

New Post: Off box SSL and/or load balancing?

cblack — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:40:39 GMT

Has anyone gotten this to work in a load balanced farm? How about in an off-box SSL configuration (where SSL is terminated at the load balancer, rather than the IIS endpoint)? The rating does not show up at all in a load balanced off-box SSL situation, but if I remove SSL and hit the web servers directly, the ratings script shows the stars, but saving the results fails (xmldoc is null).

Has anyone had any success using this in an "Enterprise" farm?

Commented Issue: issue with content rating

Mickey75019 — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:22:16 GMT

I'm trying to use the content rating piece in conjunction with the Podcasting Kit for Sharepoint and I'm having issues getting it installed/functional. I've attached 2 things, 1 is the source for my page and the other is the link that i see under site collection administration.

The issue we're encountering is that it just states "Please wait while scripts are loaded..." and never reports back with an error or anything, even when script debugging is enabled and my settings are to display every javascript error.

Also I tried to install this version (the previous portion was installed using the PKS installation tools) to my site to see if that rectified the situation, but I get a pretty nasty error message regarding AntiXssLibrary.dll not existing despite it being in the MSBUILD folder when i run the install after building the project with vs2008.

Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful and or appreciated.
