I am trying to display content in a formatted, custom page in SP10.

I created a content type, I'll call BobType, which uses "Page" as the parent (actually, i've tried it with "Enterprise Wiki Page" as well) and has one added field, Description.

Using SPD, I created a page layout based on Bobtype called BobTypeLayout which contains the Name, Description, Rollup Image, and Comments fields. I then checked it in and approved the file.

Next, I went to site administration | site libraries and lists | customize "Pages" and added BobType to the allowed list. I made it the default type.

Now, I head back to the main site and select site actions | new page and create BobTest. It returns the correct form for creating a new BobType. So far, everything seems to be going great.

After filling in the form with random data - about you know who - I click save and get the infamous, "An unexpected error has occurred."

ULS viewer on the server shows that I'm getting:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WikiPageWebPartSaver.SaveWebPartsInRichText(SPWebPartManager wpmgr)    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SPPageStateControl.EnsureItemSavedIfEditMode(Boolean forceSave, String overwriteCommandHandler, String discardChangesCommandHandler)    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SaveAndStopEditCommandHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)

 at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument)    
 at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

I've been tweaking the procedure randomly for a couple hours but seem to get stuck at the same point each time. The only requred field on the content type is, Name, and it has a value.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? I can provide more info if necessary.

Thanks in advance.

  • The stack trace seems to reference the Wiki Pahe content type... Is that the case? Was the error any different when you used the "Page" content type as parent?

  • Yes, the error was the same with Page. I tried a few options and did not remember where I left off.
