Scenario: Single Web Part being used to pass filter values to multiple web parts on a page.  After making changes to Web Part connections, only the most recent connection works.  All other connections previously configured on the source web part no longer worked.  The Web Parts being connected to were no longer displayed on the page.  In the end I was able to resolve the issue, but was not sure of the underlying cause.  My suspicions lean toward the custom web parts being used not being able to handle Web Part Connections properly. Issue: After completing the initial configuration of the various web parts on a page, I started configuring web part connections between the web parts.  I noticed that after configuring a connection, that it would be the only connection that works once applied.  Any previously configured connections to other web parts no longer worked and the web parts disappeared off the page. I found that if configuring the connectio...

Can't Deploy Solution Once Added to Solution Store Via Central Admin I tried deploying a custom Web Part solution to a MOSS 2007 environment via the Solution Management page in Central Admin.  I was able to select the solution, time to deploy (now) and the Web Applications to deploy to, then press OK to initiate the process.  From here I am taken back to the Solution Management page, where the solution I wish to deploy has the status “Deploying(scheduled at ... )”.  After a few seconds and a page refresh, the status returns to “Not Deployed” and the “Deployed To” value remains as “None”.  Issues Deploy Solution using STSADM I was able to add the solution to the solution store using the STSADM command line tool, but when trying to deploy the solution to Web Applications hosting SharePoint, the process didn't complete successfully although it states that it did. If I open the Solution Properties, the Last Operation Result and Details both state “The solution ...

The following explains (with examples), how to modify the Table of Contents Web Part (TOCWP) using CSS to display content from a SharePoint site and sub-sites based on the site navigation with a custom appearance. This allows content to be displayed dynamically by the web part based on the current site and any sub-site navigation and content without using Data Views or having to maintain link lists or similar. There are a number of methods that can be used to customise the layout of the Table of Contents Web Part. Some methods will result in the new styles being applied to every TOCWP across the entire site collection, where others allow you to customise the styles for a specific TOCWP on only one, or a selection of pages. The first method that I use is to override the default style classes for the TOCWP. This allows flexibility with the application of the new styles, as the new style classes that override the default can be place in a global style sheet, or on a page containing a Ta...
