I have a custom webpart and when it first renders I want to give link to open modify shared webpart properties as we generally get when we open OOB webparts like Content editor or XML webpart? Any one is having idea on this ...I was using this but when I m clicking on it, its showing following error
I m using this:
LiteralControl lctrl = new LiteralControl();
lctrl.Text=string.Format("<a id='MsoFrameworkToolpartDefmsg_{0}' href=\"javascript:MSOTlPn_ShowToolPane2Wrapper('Edit','129','{0}');\">Open the tool pane</a> and enter a valid value.",this.ID);
Controls.Add(lctrl);
ERROR: A Web Part you attempted to change is either invalid or has been removed by another user.Click to refresh it.(This its showing in my toolpane)
Taken from a working webpart:
myvar = "Open the toolpanel"
"ID" is the webpart ID. I use a UserControl to hold my WebPart code, so I use Parent.ID

I am using SharePoint online.
I want to use this CSOM code to add a WebPart to a page:
SP.File oFile = _web.GetFileByUrl(SiteUrl + "/SitePages/" + pageName);
oFile.CheckOut();
LimitedWebPartManager limitedWebPartManager = oFile.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared);
var importedWebPart = limitedWebPartManager.ImportWebPart(webPartSchemaXml);
var webPart = limitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart(importedWebPart.WebPart, zoneid, zoneIndex);
oFile.Update();
await SiteCtx.ExecuteQueryAsync();
oFile.CheckIn(String.Empty, CheckinType.MinorCheckIn);
The problem is how to assign correct values to the zoneid string variable,
which is the name of the Web Part zone to which to add the Web Part.
When I run this code nothing happens!
(it doesn't add the WebPart to the page and I am suspecting it is related to the wrong zoneId).
I have read various post, ranging from accessing the code behind of the .aspx page trying to find the WebPartZone, accessing the WebPartManager class (which should list the ZoneId's but I don't know how to get it, since that I am using the LimitedWebPartManager class).
I have tried various values for zoneId, but at the moment none of them work:
Zone 1 (just a guess!)
Zone 2 (i see it in the right tab when manually editing the webpart through Edit page)
Body (with this the code worked some days ago! but now it doesn't anymore)
Header
Left
Bottom
What is the proper method of findind zoneId's?
EDIT
The page is the homepage, I have read somewhere that it is a wiki page so maybe it has different ZoneId's.
ZoneIDs might be different depending on the page layout, but usually out-of-the-box SharePoint layouts use the following ID's for webpart zones:
TitleBar
Header
LeftColumn
MiddleColumn
RightColumn
Footer
Make sure that you invoke the update() method on your file object and executeQueryAsync() method on your context after importing the webpart - the latter function especially is responsible for sending the request to server and applying your changes.
Here's a nice article about adding webparts to pages programatically: How to programmatically add a ClientSide Web Part to a SharePoint page
Im new to SharePoint and have been asked to update some text on a form in SharePoint. I can’t figure out how to select and make the changes. When I select the web part that contains the form textboxes, buttons etc, there does not seem to be a way to select and edit the text. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try?
You can connect to your SharePoint site using SharePoint designer and do all the customization needed there.
Or you can add a content editor web part and inside its content just add a <script> tag and add some JavaScript that get the label you want to change and edit its content
I created a WebPart,and it works in SharePoint 2007,I can edit or delete it.But the menu of this WebPart does't work in SharePoint 2010,when I click the menu,it shows nothing.I can't delete or edit it.
The error message is "The value of the property 'UpdateWebPartMenuFocus' is null or undefined, not a Function object",which points to:
UpdateWebPartMenuFocus(this, 'ms-wpselectlinkfocus', 'ms-WPEditTextVisible')
So I want to know the probable reasons for this problem,or any mistake I may have made with my codes.
Thanks!
The method UpdateWebPartMenuainFocus is defined in Core.js.
You need a reference to Core.js, either from your page or from a master page that your page uses.
How do you add a content query webpart to a apublishing page layout and configure it to aggregate content from the pages in the page library??Can some one give me some insight on this?? Do I drop a content query webpart in SP designer?? If I do that, how do I configure the query??
Or do I add a content query webpart using ribbon and then export it and make customizations and import and drop that one on the page layout??? Please someone???
SCENARIO: I have to insert a content query webpart to a publishing page layout for Physicians profile site. Based on the page layout, there will be profile pages for each physicians. Now, each physician's' profile page will have his/her primary practice location name, address, phone etc as well as other multiple practice locations. Say Mr Tom's primary location is listed as hospital 'x' on his profile page, now I want to be able to also aggregate the names of all the other lawyers that also work in hospital 'X' as Tom's office members on his bio page using content query webpart on the page layout. How do I add and configure the webpart? I mean it's easy to add a content query webpart in just one page and configure it but I want to add it on a page layout so all the content pages will have its implementation as the pages are created by the authors.
say there are 10 profile pages in the pages library and 5 of them have at least one of their pracice locations as hopital X(they may be working at hospital Y, Z..etc at the same time too), now I want all 5 doctors name aggregated on the Tom's profile pages as his office members!?
Lots of question marks... yes you can add the content query webpart to a layout by using SP designer. This will COPY that webpart to every page that is created using that layout (or has its layout switched to that one). That makes the query to set up tricky because it needs to get the input on WHICH physician from somewhere - check out this article here. Using the PageFieldValue option should do the trick.
To change a CQWP, don't modify the default version. Instead, navigate to your XSL file in the Style Library in SPD and copy the ItemStyle.XSL and rename the copy to something else (such as CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl). Then go to a test page, place a blank CQWP, and click "Export". Open the .webpart file that you exported and modify the properties to link to your CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl.
Save the .webpart file and import it back to the gallery through the browser. Rename the new CQWP (to something like CUSTOM_CQWP.webpart or whatever).
Now you can modify the CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl to use custom XSL. Shape the XSL file how your requirements dictate, then in your test page, change the Web Part properties to use your new custom ItemSTyle. Once your web part look like you want it to, you can export it again and then reimport it back into the gallery and all your settings will be saved.
Now you can go to Designer and add this web part to your page layouts. When the user uses that layout, the web part is already placed on the page and wired up accordingly. Additionally, by usign this method, they can change teh web part properties of the web part or even delete the web part altogether if they don't want it, without affecting your page layout.

In SharePoint, it is easy to set up a List webpart consisting of Links to other documents, folders, sites, etc. Unfortunately, when clicking these links, the default behavior is for the page to open in the current browser window. That is, it does NOT open the page in a new instance of the browser. This has proven annoying for a number of the users on my site.
Does anyone know of a way to have the default behavior be to open in a NEW browser window?
I'm hoping this is something that can be set in SharePoint rather than having users need to adjust some sort of setting in their browser.
It is not possible with the default Link List web part, but there are resources describing how to extend Sharepoint server-side to add this functionality.
Share Point Links Open in New Window
Changing Link Lists in Sharepoint 2007
You can edit the page in SharePoint designer, convert the List View web part to an XSLT Data View. (by right click + "Convert to XSLT Data View").
Then you can edit the XSLT - find the A tag and add an attribute target="_blank"
The same instance for SP2010; the Links List webpart will not automatically open in a new window, rather user must manually rt click Link object and select Open in New Window.
The add/ insert Link option withkin SP2010 will allow a user to manually configure the link to open in a new window.
Maybe SP2012 release will adrress this...
Under the Links Tab ==> Edit the URL Item ==> Under the URL (Type the Web address)- format the value as follows:
Example:
if the URL = http://www.abc.com ==> then suffix the value with ==>
#openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'
SO, the final value should read as ==>
http://www.abc.com#openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'
DONE ==> this will open the URL in New Window
