Cant unpublish pages access denied error - sharepoint

I get the sharepoint access denied page when I try to use the unpublish option on a list item in the pages library.
We are using approval workflow and publishing, as well as versioning on the pages library.
If I navigate to the version history page, the unpublish version works correctly.
Can anyone advise on this?
All the best

There are code solutions for that problem, if you are able customize your application.

Kentico Not Showing Added Pages from Visual Studio 2010

I am working with Kentico in Visual Studios (web project) on my local computer. When I add folders or files to the solution and then run it in the browser, the pages do not show up in the CMS desk or site manager. Am I creating these folders/files in the wrong place in the solution (ex: {directory of web project}/CMSPages/filename.aspx)? Or maybe have incorrect settings?
This is not the way how it works - the system has no idea about your pages if you place them on the file system. However, you can create ASPX page templates and then use then for the documents. Please see the Devnet forum
Best regards,

Where Do you want to use this page?
In the visitor sites or CMS Page
If you want to use visitor site you can create a webpart and add you webpart to the Page create on content tree.
If you want to use in the cmsdesk the you need to register your page in the module

SharePoint OOTB Approval Workflow Issue

I'm getting a strange issue when setting up a SharePoint Approval workflow. This is in MOSS 2007 running on Win 2008.
If I try and create a new approval workflow(or any ootb workflow), I will get to the Add a workflow page (_layouts/AddWrkfl.aspx) and enter the initial paramaters. Once I click next to go to the Customize Workflow (_layouts/CstWrkflIP.aspx) I get the following error in the main section of the page:
There has been an error while loading the form. A required resource could not be downloaded. To try to resume the download, refresh the page.
This has me stumped. I find no error in the event log or SharePoint logs.
I saw a previous post point to a HTTPModule causing the error. The only extra HTTPModule we use is for DevExpress. I removed it, but still had the some issue.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I've just noticed that the issue does not occur in Google Chrome, this lets me get to the Customize Workflow page with no issue. It's obviously some IE issue but still dont understand what. I've asked colleagues to try and they get the same issue in IE.
thanks
I've been able to get around the issue by going into IE - Tools -Internet Options- Advanced - Reset.
I would love to know what IE was not happy about though...

How to find missing web part?

Does anybody know how to find offending web part which causes this error ?
“A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Web Part Page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered on this site as safe.”
I have inherited an old SharePoint 2003 portal site which uses custom web parts.
I know what this error means. I also know that each web part must be installed and registred as safe in web.config. The problem is that I don't know which one is missing.
I get same error when I'm trying to open the page in FrontPage as well.
Use contents=1 in QueryString to disable/remove WebParts from page that causes errors.
stsadm.exe -o enumallwebs -includewebparts
http://sharepointreporter.wordpress.com/
Requires updating to Sp2 I believe, for this command to be available. Problematic web parts will appear as 'Missing' in the resultant list.
Go to Event Viewer of the machine and you shall be able to see Error entries. Out of tons of entries you have to find out the entries related to you and you shall be able to see the names of the webparts that the sharepoint site is trying to load but fails. If you shall read the complete description of the error entry in the Event Viewer, it will give you version and even PublicKey Token of the webpart as well.
I hope this helps!!!
Try reading this:
http://www.bluedoglimited.com/SharePointThoughts/ViewPost.aspx?ID=189
It should give you some clues to solving the problem. Essentially you have a control that is not marked as safe and it is failing. You can most likely config it to work, but the link above has other possible solutions.
in your url just append content=1. This will give you the all the webparts that are deployed. Now, you can keep deleting each of the webpart to find which one is causing issue ( ensure that you know to add the web parts back).
For example: if Url is http://localhost:9000/default.aspx, try with http://localhost:9000?contents=1
Alternatively, try to create a new webpart page,add web parts that are there on your actual page and check which one is causing issue. This will avoid changes to the actual page.
Hope this helps.
I've just suggested this same answer on MSDN:
This stsadm helped me in finding where the webpart was referenced in any way:
stsadm -o enumallwebs -includewebparts > C:\temp\somelog.txt
Then you can see the web part is listed under some <Web Id=... Url=...> XML node, i.e. you know the "culprit" web site.
At that point, some reasons I've found for those forgotten references:
the webpart is used in some sub-site of the culprit website, and the sub site is hidden from the quick list or top bar
the webpart has been deleted from the culprit website, but it still is in the "site collection recycle bin". You can reach that by going to the normal website recycle bin, then look for its link on the top bar description ("Use this page to restore items that..."). By the way, this site collection recycle bin has two views itself: be sure to check them both.
In both cases, I got some help by browsing the culprit website with SharePoint Manager. With that I could easily spot the existence of a forgotten subsite, as well as the existence of this "second level recycle bin".

SharePoint OOTB Workflow Problem

I'm getting this error message when trying to add an approval workflow.
There has been an error while loading
the form. A required resource could
not be downloaded. To try to resume
the download, refresh the page.
Any ideas why?
(Googling didn't find any solutions, was wondering what this community had in mind)
Do you get to the "_layouts/AddWrkfl.aspx" page? If yes, do you get to "_layouts/WrkSetng.aspx"?
If you are not able to get to AddWrkfl.aspx, I would start by disabling any custom workflows (features) and try again. The idea here is when SharePoint loads up the page it collects a list of Workflow Templates deployed to display it on page.
Let me know if you need any further help.

Create SharePoint web page outside of document library

I'm reasonably new to SharePoint 2007 and trying to move from an ASP.NET to SharePoint way of thinking has been an interesting experience!
I would like to create a page at the same level as the default.aspx page in a subsite. The "SharePoint way" of doing things involves putting the page into a document library. I am reluctant to do this as the breadcrumb navigation of the page then includes the name of the libarary but I would like the library to be transparent to the user.
I can create a page in the right place in SharePoint designer but I can't find a way to use a SharePoint template. I have tried copying the default.aspx page, but the navigation linkes are not updated.
Am I missing something or can someone suggest a solution?
I see what you are saying. I would like to share my thoughts on how I will do it.
If the Breadcrumb is your only reason why you want to move to a different than lib, the I recommend you to override the ContentPlaceholder that has the BreadCrumb in your Page, so that BreadCrumb wont be there. But URL will be there for the User to Guess ./DocLib/default.aspx.
And if the reason to hide the document library is to make sure that you don't want to allow the user to get into the Lib and change something. I recommend you strip out the permission from the Document Lib and give all the user ReadOnly and add the user with more right who you thing will need to edit the pages.
And finally you wanted to it in a Place, you can try deploying them as a Feature that will provision the pages as Ghostable rather then GhostableInLibray.
While 1,3 cab be packaged in a WSP. 2 one needs bit of a Manual / custom Code if you are trying to automate the process.
Steps to create Ghostable pages you can refer to this
It doesn't seem to be possible. Subsites can be used to be categorise content by topic, but they can't be used very much.
