Sharepoint list content from parent site to subsite - sharepoint

I have a list with multiple records in it. I want to filter some records from the list and display it on subsite web page. I goggled it and I found out that there is no direct way to use the list from parent site into subsite. I am using Sharepoint 2013 and I have full control access to site.

As far as I'm aware, you're correct--there doesn't seem to be a way to pull list items from a parent site to a subsite, at least not in the sense that you most likely want. This is a shot in the dark, but if you're looking to pull in static list items, such as street suffixes or product names, you can create a content type in your parent site that will pass down values you define in a choice field. If you really need dynamic linkage, give this a look: http://www.boostsolutions.com/cascaded-lookup.html

You have two options to display a SharePoint list from Parent site in a subsite:
Using Data View Web Part.
Using Content Query Web Part.

Microsoft Graph API SharePoint search

I have been trying to search through my SharePoint site. I am able to get results for a single drive:
xxx.sharepoint.com,xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx,xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx/drives/xxxxxxxxx/search(q='{content}')
But if I do the same search at drive/root, I don't get any result:
xxx.sharepoint.com,xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx,xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx/drive/root/search(q='{content}')
We basically want to perform a search across the entire subsite.
Hey a bit late but I've just discovered you can use the /sites endpoint to retrieve all items in a site by expanding relationships of graph objects. Could you try use:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/root/sites?$expand=lists($expand=items)
This seems to return all list items in all subsites under the root site. You should hopefully then be able to to filter further by subsite, list, field values etc.

Is it possible to write WSS custom search webpart?

I want to place a custom webpart on the main page of my sharepoint portal that will look through a specific list. I want also to look for the information in the specific fields (like name, surname, phone number etc.). In MOSS 2007 we have Microsoft.Office.Server.Search namespace but is it possible to write this kind of webpart in WSS?
In WSS you have two options:
1) You can execute a CAML query against the specific list using SPList.GetItems
2) Use KeywordQuery or FullTextSqlQuery from the Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Query namespace
SharePoint web parts have full access to the SharePoint object model, including being able to access list and list items. Now, that doesn't include any kind of search indexing, so if this list is really large, iterating through it to find interesting results might not be a very good idea. (Hence search being a paid MOSS feature....)

Showing the list view web part for a list in another site

I cannot show the content of a document library using a list view contained in a web part located on my root web application.
Here is the site structure:
main_site
subsite1
Shared Documents
subsite2
Shared Documents
My webpart is located on the main_site.
In this webpart, I have a Sharepoint ListViewWebPart in which I want to show the Shared Documents from subsite1 for instance, but it does not seem to work. I get the following error:
List does not exist
The page you selected contains a list
that does not exist. It may have been
deleted by another user.
What is odd is that when I debug, I can see that the SPList is correctly initialized and contains the element of my list. However at the line Controls.Add(mylistview), is where the error occurs.
Here is the code I use to bind the list to my ListView:
SPList list = SPContext.Current.Site.AllWebs["subsite1"].Lists["Shared Documents"];
ListView lv = new ListView();
lv.ListId = list.ID.ToString();
lv.ViewId = list.DefaultView.ID.ToString();
lv.DataBind();
this.Controls.Add(lv);
Does someone have a logical explaination and solution to this problem?
The problem is that the list is in another site.
It is possible to use the ListViewWebPart to reference a list from another site in the same site collection. You need to use the WebId property to do this. Here is a code example.
Another option is to use SharePoint Designer to create a Data View Web Part. This will allow you to use a list from another site or the SharePoint web serivces to pull data in. The results look similar to the list view web part and there is some powerful functionality you can use. This is the first blog post I found that demonstrates this, there should be several others.
Finally, you could use the Content Query Web Part. You probably know this one already and it is really more for displaying and not manipulating data.

Aggregating news with Sharepoint MOSS 2007

Our company is split into divisions. These divisions work for client companies and are then further split into account teams that work on projects for a product of the clients.
So the structure goes Division > Clients > Accounts > Projects. And this is mirrored in the setup of our sharepoint installation. At each stage from Division to Account there is a subsite. Access to each subsite is controlled by AD groups and on each subsite there is a 'latest news' announcements list
What we want to do is have a 'wall' of announcements that feeds through so that each user can see on the top-level site all the posts in all of these anouncement lists, but this must be filtered using the AD groups that they are a member of so that confidential information isn't shown to someone who shouldn't see it.
Can anybody think of a way to do this?
Let's see - are those lists split accross site collection? With what tool you want to accomplish this?
You have several options (if you are within a site collection):
Use Content Query Web Part to
aggregate list items. You can
customize it to display fields
you like the way you like.
You can use SharePoint Designer.
Using Object Model/WebServices: Use
SPSiteDataQuery class to query
multiple lists at once and then
SPGridView to display data.
As you have a MOSS build, you could
even use CrossListQueryCache.
It's also a cross list query that
has builtin caching and audience
targeting. Be sure to read this to be sure caching is working.
If you want to aggregate between multiple site collections, then you will need to write code that get's all your SPSite objects and execute SPSiteDataQuery on them.
Maybe you can find out some additional information on Rollup of all Tasks of a Recurring Meeting in SharePoint
Here is how we are doing it.
Set up a content type for each level of announcement. We have national, state, district and the basic site level announcements. Therefore I have 1 national content type, 10 state content types (because we are in 10 states) and 1 content type for each district. All of these content types inherit from the base Announcement type with no modification.
I added a content query web part. I exported it. I edited the XML in the .webpart file to point to a new custom ItemStyle_Announcements.xsl file I had created. I import the modified .webpart and delete the default Content Query Webpart.
I modify the ItemStyle_Announcements.xsl to create the structure and divs I need for the styling. I add styles to the default style sheet I have already created for my site to get the look and feel I want. (I happend to have two styles for these, one featured/most recent item which is big and full, then a listing the next 10)
I find an announcement list that will possibly post to the national new. I add the content types as needed. Now the end user can choose what scope of announcement they want from the New menu.
This remaining issue is that right now, the States and Districts must have TWO announcement webparts on their home pages. One that lists everything local to that site (regardless of scope) and one that has unit announcements aggregated from the other sites in the same state / district.

How to get in CAML (Sharepoint 2007) the same results as SPNavigation.QuickLaunch?

I have a website in Sharepoint.
To get a list of sites ordered by the exploration, that is to say, ordered by the user in the sharepoint administration, i would write the following code:
SPWeb web = CurrentSite.OpenWeb(currentSite);
SPNavigation nav = web.Navigation;
SPNavigationNodeCollection nodeColl = nav.QuickLaunch;
That is ok, but i need to do it with CAML. The only problem is that i don't know how to get the items ordered as the user did it, i get the items unordered or ordered by a column, i don't think there is a column for the user's order.
Plz give me some code.
Unfortunately, the navigation information is not stored with the pages in the library. The navigation can store more that just published pages, so the navigation had to be stored in it's own structure.
That means there is no content query for this.
