Hi there,
I recently needed to make a SharePoint portal XHTML compliant. My html tag was missing the “xml:lang” attribute. So I added it to the master page. That did not work however, SharePoint somehow stripped the “xml:lang” attribute, any other attributes added stayed ok.

I stumbled upon this post from Mikhail Dikov who explains 7 reasons why a webpart may show up in the webpart chooser but give the mentioned error when adding it to a page.
None of his steps worked for me, but in the comments, Ian Campbell noted very helpfully to check the WebPart Gallery at site collection level. The gallery contained an old version (when looking at the XML) of the webpart, which still referenced a faulty assembly. I deleted it and re-enabled my feature (thus adding it again) and everything worked fine.
Good luck continuing to figure out if this didn’t work for you!

Hi all,
It’s been a very long time since I’ve updated, but I have some news. One of the most dificult parts to implement, namely mapping the seats to categories, has been implemented. For the moment you can only add seats per block to a category and not per seat, but this might change in the future (i’m not seeing close future…)

Imagine having lots of data to administer, fields with lots of data, tables stuffed with information that totally mess up your layout. Frustrating hey? Most of your customers (or you yourself) are only interested in the details of this information in about 10% of the cases, so why bother fixing your layout, if you can just compact the data on the client side?
