SharePoint - How to enable 'Connection' property of Content Query Web Part
Asked By Somes
10-Mar-07 09:14 AM
I have a CQWP configured to display content from two different lists.However
the CQWP has ‘Connection’ method grayed out saying that “The Web Part you are
connecting from does not allow authoring of connectionsâ€. What can I do
enable this property ? (Note: I already have ‘Allow Connections‘feature
enabled in the CQWP)
The reason i need the 'Connection' attribute enabled is to push data from
CQWP to a list on the same page so that i can obtain a calendar for the data.
Is there any other way i can obtain a calendar view of CQWP data besides
pushing data to a List? Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Somesh,
The CQWP does not support connections, which is why it is grayed out.

I am confused here.
The CQWP has 'Allow Connections' property under Advanced settngs..rite?
whats the purpose of that property?
Are you suggesting that we cannot connect another List to a CQWP or vice
versa?

You cannot connect other webpart to the CQWP.

Hi Somesh,
Can you tell me how can you use CQWP to display data from 2 lists
simultaneously. I thought we can only display data from one list at a time.
Also, can you display all the fields for the 2 lists?

Hi kevz,
You can display items from multiple list using the ListsOverride property.

CQWP filtering content by using the same page metadata SharePoint Hi there, Anyone has some info about dynamic filtering in CQWP?
