SharePoint 2010: Getting Publishing template working

Note: this post is only relevant for people running the SharePoint 2010 Technology Preview.

When I create a new site based on the Publishing Portal template you get a .../Pages/Default.aspx page with an error on it. The error seems to be generated by a ContentByQuery web part (the only web part) on the page. Add ?contents=1 to the url (…/Pages/Default.aspx?contents=1):

Check Out the page, remove the web part (Delete, not Close), and your page starts working again.

Happy Publishing!

  • Hello,

    I've got a smal problem with getting my sharepointsite active on the internet. When i am ad home i can just type the www.projectserver.be and it works, but when i want to work on it from an other place, it does not want towork anymore. What do i do wrong?

    Also i do not see the publishingsite templates on my Sharepoint2010 server.

    Best Regards,

    Fred

  • I see them in my Powershell but not in my >create site >

  • When making pizza at home, it can be baked on a pizza stone in a regular oven to reproduce the effect of a brick oven.
    Greek pizza, like Chicago-style pizza, is baked in a pan rather than directly on the bricks of the pizza oven.
