Thanks for your Idea of making list/library globally.
Its working for me.

I do have a quick question: I have two webapps.
One of which I have used your idea to make one of my lists globally available as webpart. But Is it possible for me to take that webpart to another webapplication?

So how does one create a CQWP in SP Designer 2010? As of now, I’m doing it the hard way:
– Create the part in a web page with the proper filter.
– Export to file.
– Edit file to point to my custom ItemStyle.xsl file.
– Import CQWP into SharePoint via the browser, which doesn’t add it to the web part gallery; only puts it into the Import folder temporarily.
– Insert into a page to test and work out the bugs.
– Repeat above steps (starting with import) to test and change.

There’s got to be an easier way to do this. Your guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for great post.

I have done with webpart creation.In my case I am using a document library to show across the site and is perfect, the webpart is showing the documents. But the problem is when I am clicking on the documents name link in the webpart, it is OK with .txt file but when am clicking on .doc file it showing “file not found” exception.Is there any work around.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Kelly,

Wonderful, you saved me a whole lot of time. However, I wonder if you could try and help me with a problem when using the web part list in conjunction with a document library.

Scenario is:
1. I have created a Site and within created a list of Suppliers. Followed your instructions to create web part view of list.
2. Created Document library which needs is required to refer to the list of Suppliers as Lookup on document upload(The will use Supplier as searchable reference)

When trying to implement the above using the web part list, I get a blank view on for the list of suppliers when trying to upload documents via the Library.

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

David

I have come across this as well. In my case, it was that I had multiple instances created. Accessing the Web Parts Maintenance page to delete these takes a little trick. If you append the following to url of the page it will bring up this page: ?contents=1

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.

I have permissions to all the sites – so cant see a problem here.. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Does the user account you are logged in with while viewing the “global webpart” have permissions to access the root list (the list you “globalized”)? Alternatively, you could create another view and make the global web part based on that view.

Thanks for great posting.

I followed all the steps in your article and added the webpart onto a subsite of that global list but got “List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user”.

I verified couple times that i selected “Yes” on step 9. And it still seems like it’s looking for a relative path, any idea?
