Does anyone know how to check out a webpart in Sharepoint 2010. I have an SSRS report within the Webpart that shows on the front page of the Sharepoint site.
I need to edit the web part. I only need to edit or add to the "Show navigation bar the navigation controls and Show Back Button".
When I check these 2 boxes and click APPLY I get an error message "Cannot save all of the property settings for this Web Part. The file is not checked out. You must first check out this document before making changes."
I have full control on the site, but not sure how to check out the web-part to edit and add these 2 buttons to the navigation of the report.
Thanks,
I figured this out through this link...Customize Web Part
I went to libraries and then Pages and found the Home page and checked it out.

Sharepoint server publishing feature was activated on one of my SharePoint sites, but it's not showing hide ribbon in Site Actions.
Also when we edit the page, it's appending the parameters “?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage” to the address bar insted of "?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design".
NB : In the navigation setting the "Ribbon" and "Hide Ribbon" commands are already set as "true"
Your issue seems to be similar to that reported here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/35c7f486-2b20-4129-b461-65b147a4490e/when-editing-the-page-in-sharepoint-we-cannot-edit-the-content-area-and-we-need-to-click-on-save-and?forum=sharepointgeneral
We found your issue and the solution because when our users edited a sharepoint online page they got take to
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage
Which showed them a view of the page with no ribbon and no ability to edit the content.
On some pages they were shown the ribbon. In thoses cases they still couldn't edit the content until they clicked the "save and keep editing" option from the ribbon save button. When they did this they were taken to
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design
After going through the solution outlined on technet (turn publishing off and turn it on again) our users now experience : edit page taking them to full ribbon, and editable content without a URL suffix i.e. they end up at the following when they edit the page
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx
Hope this helps someone
Background:
I have a site on sharepoint 2010 with 5 site pages, each page have some content.
Problem:
One of the page, have tab web part from MSDN, this webpart is used to implement tabs in SP site, here is the link of webpart.
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/zonetabs
Now, when i implement it, it posts back the page, on switching between tabs, that gives a bad impression(as the complete page reloads).
I only need to handle that postback effect. by using some update panel or something.
Can i do anything with master page ? or any other way out to solve this out.
Any suggestion will be appreciable.
I have to add a "Content Editor" web part to a list view. The "Content Editor" is required to implement some java script and a html textbox.
The problem is that after adding the web part to the list view the dropdown to switch your current view gets lost. It doesnt matter where you add the web part or if you try it with the designer or IE.
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Or is there another way to implement java script into a listview without adding a new web part?
This is the dropdown I mean:
Its a known issue with SharePoint 2010.
You can modify the page using SharePoint Designer to put it back.

My company has also produced a free add-on that will do this for a whole site.

I'm using MOSS 2007 with Publishing Site and have added an Image Web Part to a page using Sharepoint Designer.
When I go into the browser to edit the page, the edit button on the web part does not appear.
Does anyone know why?
To edit a webpart in a browser it needs to be inserted inside a Web Part Zone, try adding one in your page then adding the webpart to it. If still no luck or if you already have a Web Part zone, go on its properties (right click => Web Part Zone Properties) and see if users are allowed to edit it in browser.
I have deleted "New comment" webpart on the Blog Post detailed Page on the my SharePoint blog site, I am unable to find it in the webpart list.
How can I get undo / add the webpart back.
If you have clicked the X button in the top-right corner of the web part, it is simply closed. You can get it back as follows:
Click on Actions, Edit Page
Click Add a web part
Click Advanced Web Part Gallery in the top bottom-right corner of the dialog
Click on Closed Web Parts in the tool pane on the right
Drag the closed web part from the tool pane back onto the page
If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted. If you have check-in/out available to the page you can go back to a previous version to restore it. Otherwise you will need to restore from backup if you have one.
A very usefull way to see all web parts on the page, including closed ones, is the Web Part Maintenance Page, which is accessed by simply adding '?Contents=1' to the page address
I faced the same problem (it was my mistake :(), but I am able to get my “New Comment” webpart back on the page by using SharePoint Designer.
Steps to get “New Comment” webpart back on the page
Create New blog site just to get “New Comment” list form Webpart
Open Newly created blog site in SharePoint designer and address]/ Lists/Posts/Post.aspx page and
Copy the full XSLT code of “New Comment” list form Webpart
Go back to your production blog site and place the copied XSLT just after “comments” list view Webpart on the page
Provide “your comments list GUID” under List Name property of the copied XSLT
Save and close.
That’ it. Your “New comment” Webpart is back on the page

"If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted."
Here is a solution that does not require SP Designer and fixes the problem in a couple minutes.
In fact, it is only the Default View associated to the webpart that is deleted. Click on View All Site Content. Then on the defective library link. It will open the listedit.aspx page. Go down to the Views section. Select another view or create a new view and make it the one by default. That's it. You are back in business. Of course, you need to correct the library link in the Quick Launch section.

In my case it was a "Summary Link Web Part" that was added to a Document Library and the user accidentally "x'd" out off it. I found the "closed" web part by doing the following:
Click on "Site Actions | Edit Page"
Click on "Add a Web Part"
In the "Categories" list box on the left the last folder is "Closed Web Parts". Select the Web Part and re-add it.
