Thanxs in advance Hi Waldek,

Just a question: am I correct in asserting that you hardcode the fieldname (in this case 'category') in the XSLT, so that if I need to reference another list and another fieldname, I select the list in the webpart properties pane, but am forced to change the style sheets to give the correct fieldname?

Thanxs in advance

Depending on your branding there are multiple approaches you can take. The best would be to use div layouts + CSS but a table might work as well. @ed mendoza: definitely!

I've had a look, but the style library seems to be hidden, both in the site, and in Sharepoint Designer so it looks like the Site Collection Owner role has been modified for us to stop people changing these settings. Back to the drawing board it seems, but thanks for the reply, and the great resources. Thanks for the speedy reply.

If you choose for modifying the copies you would have to export the CQWP and link your custom XSLT files. Additionally if you're using custom XSLT files be sure that you upload them to Style Library: it's the only location that the CQWP allows. @Mark: You would have to either modify the out of the box ItemStyle.xsl and ContentQueryMain.xsl files or their copies as shown in the last section of this article.

Perhaps you could help? I'm using Moss 2007, and have Site Collection Owner rights (but not access to the server). I'd like to include this tag cloud on the site, taking results from a list (lets call it 'tag cloud'). Where in the scripts above would I need to reference this? Also, where do the files need to be stored for it to work? Thanks I've tried to follow the instructions above, but I'm totally confused. Perhaps you could help?

It worked for me in MOSS 2007 SP1+ with a category field of type MultiChoice. I just had to strip out the #; characters that delimit the values in the <a tag that resides in Imtech.TagCloud. Here's my template to remove the extra category characters: Hey this works great, thanks very much! It worked for me in MOSS 2007 SP1+ with a category field of type MultiChoice.

This is exactly I needed to include additional columns to display and style them. I tried adding to the property as /Style Library/XSL Style Sheets/MyCustom.xsl When uploading it, it says the webpart cannot be loaded. Any help is very much appreciated. Do u have a post wher e end-to-end there is sample implementation of adding new fields to CQWP and styling it using custom XSL. Cheers, Akshay Hi Waldek,
