Note: the problem isn’t the layout – it’s the functionality thats missing…

Hi.
I’ve just tried out this feature, and i works. My problem though, is that I want to show only parts of a library using the CQWP (’cause I can’t find any other way…).

I’ve got a doc. library in my site grouped by document category (not a content type). I only want to see one category in the CQWP in the other site (same site collection).
– the list appears to be a link-list
– the list can’t be filtered; then it only shows message that it didn’t return any errors, if you want to configure a query etc…

Is it possible to show the list as a “in-site” list – including the toolbar?

Thanx for any comments
J

Like Brad, I’m not too clear about the difference between using CQWB vs. ‘list view’. if the only difference is where the library resides, then don’t ‘list views’ become redundant? isn’t it easier just to use CQWB?

Brad – The document library web part is only available in the site in which the library resides. — Mark

Good post. However, what is the difference between this and defining a special view on a document library, and then using the document library web part for that library with the special view selected?

Hi Mark,

I wanted to show some announcements from a news site. The CQTP only shows me the headers of those announcements but nog the body text. Is there a way to get this to work?

Kind regards.

Hi Mark,
How to parameterize the Content Query Webpart.

I am new in the Sharepoint world. I got a project which has to collect the customer information in one site. I have mad a Webpart to list the customer name and a Webpart that should show some of the document for the chosen customer and when you click on one of the customer name in the list the Webpart with the document should be updated and has to show the document for this customer. If I use the Content Query Webpart I don’t know how to give the parameter. I can’t se the Content Query Webpart takes parameter. So can hardcode the Content Query but it well not be a dynamically solutions of the problem.
Will you please come with a suggestion

Yeah Mark,

And also the fact that if you’re looking to deploy this as functionality for all users (it’s really a custom list that I want to add into users My Sites when they get created, like Steve Peschka’s article here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/03/22/customizing-moss-2007-my-sites-within-the-enterprise.aspx), then the location of the list is going to need to be built up dynamically I guess!

Am going to go a-looking now!

Gavin – That’s the real problem, isn’t it? The limitation of only being able to access data within a single site collection is a deal breaker for any implementation of size.

The current answer is to use third party web parts such as that made by Quest or CorasWorks. Personally, I am waiting for Bob Mixon to finish the one he is working on.

Do some research on third party web parts for cross site collection access and see what else you can come up with. I’d like to hear what you come up with.

Regards,
Mark

Good stuff… Any suggestions on whether you could use this functionality across site collections, especially from My site lists?

For instance if I wanted to display a user’s My Links list onto a page?
