We have been using this code and it works very well. Unfortunately in the latest version of firefox 3.5.5 the code stop working.

Can you suggest anything we can do to fix this.

You can alos try the SPLimitedWebPartManager.

or try this webpart hide solution

Here’s where the problems start.
All the walkthroughs discuss changing the line below as shown.
/Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/contentquerymain2.xsl

Just following that direction, the web part will import, but the web part is broken (unable to proceed or something like that)

Looking around the web part file, we also find a long line that calls the contentquerymain.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:x=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform” xmlns:cmswrt=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3/Publishing/runtime” exclude-result-prefixes=”xsl cmswrt x” > <xsl:import href=”/Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/Header.xsl” /> <xsl:import href=”/Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/ItemStyle.xsl” /> <xsl:import href=”/Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/ContentQueryMain.xsl ” /> </xsl:stylesheet>

If we don’t change the MainXslLink field, but change that long line to point at the copied file and import the web part, we can tell the web part is not calling the copied file….it’s still calling the original xsl file. If we change both the long line and the MainXslLink, the web part will be broken.

this web page (http://blogs.msdn.com/ecm/archive/2006/12/09/customizing-content-query-rss-feeds.aspx) describes what appears to be our exact problem, but I don’t fully understand the work around.

Ideas on how I implement their workaround?

In any case, I am sure that what I have learned about the TOC will come in handy for something else in the future. I was able to successfully customize the font-size and font-weight, just not the color. Thank you for sharing such good information.

Good luck

Here is my code:

Page_Content,Note;

I’m doing something similar to your Page content + ‘Read More’ link approach.

However, I just cannot get the Page Content to display the summary even though I’ve added the column to the CommonViewFields property.

My column is called “Page_Content” with type “Publishing HTML” in my custom content type.

I’ve noticed that my CQWP did not contain the property called “CommonViewFields” so I had to add it manually.

My code in the webpart looks like this:

Browse to the page that contains the web part you wish to customize, and then go into edit mode in order to edit that particular web part.

Once in edit mode:

1. Click on the edit menu for the CQWP that you wish to customize
2. Click on Export…
3. You will be prompted to save a “.webpart” file somewhere on your local machine
4. Save the file and then open it up with SharePoint Designer
5. Change the Title in the property tag
6. Import the webpart

thats it

use the “using( SPLimitedWebPartManager webPartManager webPartManager = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared))…..
here you have the ability to change the webpart title for example

Good luck
