@Frank: as far as I know it's not available as a separate download, but the source code is available so you can extract it and create a standalone WSP for it.

I also like to have a CQWP with paging.
Does anyone know how i can use the PKS CQWP for it?
Should i have to install it or it's is possible to expand the "installed" CWQP?

Thanks for your help

@OldCoder you could use the following selector: $("div.1") although I doubt whether '1' is a valid CSS class name (I thought CSS classes must begin with a letter to be valid).

This is my first introduction to jQuery, so be patient. [angle brackets replaced by ']

Can you use this example with content other than 'p' formatted content? I have content with embedded 'div' tags, like this:
'div class='1"
'div class='myImages''some Image information'/div'
'div class='myTitle"Title'/div'
'div class='myLocation'>Location'/div'
More of the image, title, location data…..
'/div'

I would like to use the outer 'div class='1" like "p" in your example, but it 'trips' over the other div tags.

Any ideas?

@MOSSBUDY: Thank you for the wishes, I appreciate it. Happy New Year to you.

As for the PKS CQWP: performance is always an issue when it comes to large lists/result sets. As far as I know CQWP caches the results so each time you fire up the same query you will get the cached results. Another thing to do to suppress the performance penalty is to store the complete pages (rendered HTML). Such approach is being widely used especially on Internet-facing sites.

This is awesome, now I can have paging inside the web part itself, this is simple awesome!!! Thank you Waldek for pointing me to PKS. Do you see any downside of this paging (if number of records are more than 1000 in a list/library).

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!
YOU ROCK and YOU are so very HELPFUL, God bless you.

@MOSSBUDY: As far as I can tell the CQWP provided with the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint (PKS) works that way. You should really check it out.

Hey Waldek, This blog entry actually fires a thought in my mind about the Content query web part paging. How about rendering the Paging controls inside the content query webpart itself instead of second webpart. My thought is the XSLT will render the Paging controls on the CBQWP and the XSLT will use a custom JSCRIPT for achieving the paging. Ofcourse the paging will still be server side and we will not pull all the records. Unfortunately I am not good at all at XSLT and JSCRIPT else I cld hav tried this, thought of sharing my thougts with you.

You've been writing some nice articles! I've been doing these kind of stuff myself as well(have a look at the site) and I must say you come up with some nice twists in thinking and some great ideas for SharePoint Features…

Cheers,
Wes
P.S. Say hi to Erik Schoenmakers for me.
