Comment on Listing all web parts in a site collection with PowerShell by Glyn Clough

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the addition lines. If you’re still looking for a way to get the XSL then you can treat this just as any other property on the web parts, e.g. DisplayTitle. What I’ve done in the past is to manually get an instance of a web part on a test page through PowerShell and simply inspect it (using the gm command) – this then tells me what the properties are and how to reference them.

Note – I’m not sure there is any XSL on a content editor web part though!

Comment on XLV Bug: View settings lost on saved XSLT List View Web Part by Glyn Clough

Hi – the style should remain after importing a web part – however the view will be reset to the default. So therefore you might not see exactly what you were expecting, e.g. if you’ve styled the ‘status’ column but the status column isn’t in the view… Where the XSL lives isn’t going to affect this unfortunately.

Reconfiguring the view through the browser is the only (non-code) option I’ve come across I’m afraid.

Hi Matthew – as far as I know this shouldn’t impact crawl time at all…

Hi Mark – as this is a solution based on search then you should be able to do this by creating a new scope for ’1st level’ only and then using this scope in your results web part.

I can’t think exactly what the rule is that you’ll need to do this in your scope but I’m sure a bit of creative thinking will get you there!

I solved the problem in another way, by overriding the CQWP; I added a custom XSLT function in order to be called by the XSLT. The function get the user ID and the property to be retrieved. If anyone is interested in this solution, I’ll be glad to share the details.

Comment on Listing all web parts in a site collection with PowerShell by Eric Schrader

I also used your script to get the Page Content information, summary links, page image, etc. Information. I added the following lines to the foreeach ($item in $pages.items) loop
$output = $item.file.properties
$output | fl
(had to assign the properties to a var, then format that var to list format to get the full Name and Value of each page property on a publishing site.

Once I can get the XSL, I can use this to document all of the content in the site, just from a script. (Then manually backup the Masterpage, layouts, css, images and any other global assets.)

Any way to get the XSL from the content editor web parts? (not just the title)

Comment on Removing libraries that don’t allow deletion in SharePoint by Mark Ballard

Bravo!! Thank you very helpful

Just an fyi – if you are a powershell newb like I am, you’ll need to add this line to the begining of the script so that all the sharepoint commands are recognized.
