Hi Waldek,

Thanks, that did the job. Except that every item (row) that is higher than three has the same div id. What I would like is that all items higher than three will appear in the same (one) div. Not that every item is wrapped in a seperate div. I hope you understand and know a solution to this.

Thanks again.

@Kevin: if you look carefully inside ContentQueryMain.xsl you will see that for some Item Templates it passes the number of the current record (pos parameter). What you would need to do is to pass that variable to your Item Template and then do a simple xsl:if comparison in the Item Template itself.

Hi Waldek,

Interesting post. I have a different kind of situation, maybe you can help me out.
I have a CQWP that show's all new contracts within our organization. By default is shows only 3 items, this is set in the properties of the CQWP. I would like to implement some sort of functionality (probably jquery) to give users the ability to view all contracts, instead of three. I made a simple jquery script that shows and hides a div when a link is clicked, but how can I make it work that after three records a link is visible to show/hide the rest of the records? I have to count the rows in the xsl and after three rows the other rows have to get a different id, but how can i do that?

Thanks

@Ganesh: You would have to extend the Content Query Web Part and add either a custom XSLT function or a custom XSLT parameter.

@Ashwini: Sure, you would have have to perform the check in the ContentQueryMain.xsl where you can retrieve the number of items found. If it's 0, you could display the button. The only challenge is, that this button couldn't have any server side code attached to it as it's XSLT only. If you want to attach a button, you would have to extend the CQWP and perform the check in the WebPart's code.

Hi,

I have 2 cqwps for getting the items from 2 different lists. when there are no items i want to show a button in one list and a label in another. Is it possible to do it through xsl?

@Shaimaa: I don't know this solution so I can't really tell what do you need to change to change the flow from vertical to horizontal. Depending on the solution it can be CSS, JavaScript, XSLT of any combination of these.

@shaimaa: You can do this in two ways. You can either create a custom XSLT or utilize CSS to align your items next to each other instead of in a column.
