Hi Laura,

Great Video. Anyways, i followed everything here but when I tried to connect connect to another sub-site site/MyOtherSite from site/MySite to list all the webparts or lists from MyOtherSite it says can’t connect to site/MyOtherSite do you know why? I want a list from site/MyOtherSite showing up in site/MySite.

Regards
Lito

Yes, 2 DVWPs would be the best way to go about it in that situation.

Hi, Laura–Thanks for a great webcast. Your instructions were really clear and very easy to follow. One question: Given master list on top site, for subsites, each with their own audience, do I need to create a separate DVWP for the filters appropriate to the audience? Big Org has two teams, each with their own subsite. I want to maintain Big Org’s list but display Team A’s members on Team A’s subsite and Team B’s members on Team B’s site. Does each team need its own DVWP?

Laura/Detlef,

There’s also an alternative to Lightening conductor at the following location: http://www.pathtosharepoint.com/sharepoint-user-toolkit/Pages/Cross-Site-List-Snapshot.aspx

Just enter the URL of the list you want to re-display and this site will create the code for you that you copy and paste into a CEWP. Maybe not as flexible as Lightening Conductor, but I’ve had issues with LC when multiple web parts are added to the same page.

Is it possible to show the subsite name as well in the webpart from where the announcement is pulled in?

Thanks.

Found this article of yours Laura.

I have created the webpart for a document library on the top level site and added the webpart successfully to a subsite. Can you please let me know how I can enable the filenames to be clickable, so it actually opens the file from the subsite??

Thanks, Ian.

Kawal – Just checked and it’s working. If you’re at work, it might be blocked by IT. — Mark

Hi Laura,

The webcast for some reason is not working. When I click on the play button, it just shows the ‘ready’ status on the media player task bar. Tried it with both Firefox and IE on a Windows XP machine.
