5- i add the web part to my web parts lists , then i edit a page and i add the web part, but i did not get any result. although i have many items that matches the query..
so can anyone adivce on this please ? Thanks
Additional Info:- i got the content type id from the URL , where i access the CT info from the UI and the url showed the following :-
_layouts/15/ManageContentType.aspx?ctype=0x01030039A425F609A70A44BA580AF4A69CB18802
for the site columns i also access the column from the UI, and their internal name looks as follow:-
/_layouts/15/ManageContentTypeField.aspx?ctype=0x01030039A425F609A70A44BA580AF4A69CB18802&Field=Technical%5Fx0020%5FDelivery%5Fx0020%5FTeam&Fid=%7B68bd4d83%2Ddbfa%2D4e0a%2Daf37%2D76c0a0056ae8%7D
----EDIT------
for testing purposes i wrote the following CAML where i define the CT names instead of ids , and it retrieved all the items that have any of these two CTs correctly:-
<property name="QueryOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Created" Ascending="FALSE" /></OrderBy><Where><Or><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions Technical Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions User Support Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq></Or></Where>]]></property>
now i changed my query to check if the login user = any of two site columns,, but this will not return any results un-like the above CAML query ? i am really confused on how CAML should work ? this is the most confusing topic i have every worked on in my whole life !!!
<property name="QueryOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Created" Ascending="FALSE" /></OrderBy><Where><Or><Eq><FieldRef Name="User_x0020_Support_x0020_Delivery_x0020_Team" LookupId="TRUE" /><Value Type="Integer"><UserID Type="Integer" /></Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name="Technical_x0020_Delivery_x0020_Team" LookupId="TRUE" /><Value Type="Integer"><UserID Type="Integer" /></Value></Eq></Or></Where>]]></property>
---EDIT 2 ---
Now the only query i have it working correctly is this simple query :-
<property name="QueryOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Created" Ascending="FALSE" /></OrderBy><Where><Or><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions Technical Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions User Support Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq></Or></Where>]]></property>
but if i add inner <And></And> tags inside it , it will stop work , for example this will not work :-
<property name="QueryOverride" type="string"><![CDATA[<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Created" Ascending="FALSE" /></OrderBy><Where><Or><And><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions Technical Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq></And><And><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType"/><Value Type="Computed">Business Functions User Support Delivery Risk Issue</Value></Eq></And></Or></Where>]]></property>
but if i remove all the <AND> & </And> tags it will work well .. so can anyone adivce ?
