Hi Doug,
Thanks for the reply. I tested this web part on a home stand alone test sp2007 server where I am ultimate owner so I don't think it's a permissions problem![quote user="dkoepke"] What needs to go in the viewed lists textbox, i tried putting just the name of our discussion board, but I get the error The following error occurs: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

When all is said and done, you'll end up with XML in that text box. Like so:You could type the XML in there, but it's easiest to use the Edit button (circled in Red).
This should give you a list of lists to choose from. Note: only discussion type currently supported. You could even in bring in data from another SharePoint site, or combine data from multiple sites.
I hope this helps.Bit more technical reply for tourpe
Quest web parts have dependencies on Microsoft Ajax library because 3rd party library Telerik does. It requires Microsoft Ajax library version 1.0.61025.0 and the following entry to be added to the web.config <httpHandlers> section.
<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false" />
This requires customers to install Microsoft Ajax library (select Microsoft Ajax -> Download Essential Components -> ASP.NET AJAX Extensions 1.0). Note that AJAX functionality is integrated in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 and does not require any additional downloads but this version won't work with Telerik controls.
Start from version 5.0 of Quest web parts, we will automatically incluce Microsoft AJAX library and will not require customers to download and install it separately.
When ASP.NET AJAX Library 1.0 is not installed, user may not be able to add Quest Web Parts and see error messages such as the following.
When Quest Web Parts are installed on SharePoint server that has ASP.NET AJAX Library 3.5 installed or part of the operating system, the following error message may appear:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection' to type 'System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection'.
You may find discussion threads on this such as ASP.NET Forums.
For a particular insance of this error, where customer has .NET 3.5 and Sitrion server along with SharePoint server, the web.config has all ASP.NET 3.5 settings with Quest web parts added Ajax 1.0 settings, this error is fixed by adding the following entry to the end of <runtime> element or swap the "oldVersion" and "newVersion".
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="3.5.0.0" newVersion="1.0.61025.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>Hi Julie;
Thanks for the feedback, good point on the initial config, we will see if we can improve that.
The ezEdit selection will only show up if you have full control on the site so you can make modifications, so for example you probably don't have "Modify Shared Properties" option either.
Hopefully that is the issue, if not let us know!We do require the 2.0 .Net Framework, but this may also be a problem with your web.config configuration. We try to keep it as simple as possible, but you may have to make some modifications. If you open up your web.config file if there are any messages shown at the top simply click Fix All and that may resolve this issue
Yes, the new qdiscussionView webpart handles attachments very nicely. When you create a new discussion item or reply there is an attach file link as per below. the attachment is then associated with that discussion.
I had this problem too as couldn't find any instructions with the download for configuring the webpart.
I found the instructions via the help button on the wepart itself which made it clear HOWEVER….
The instructions relate to an EDIT Button on all the display options, for example an Edit button will drop down a list of all lists to pick from, all columns too etc
But I don't have an edit Button on mine, hence why I am unable to configure it and hence why it wasn't obvious how to do so.
Any Ideas why I am missing this from the webpart ? (It appeared to install OK, am using SP 2007)
Thanks! JulieI get an error when I add the web part to a page. I suspect this web part requires a certain version of .net and/or Ajax. Thoughts?

Hi Doug
Any progress on the issues I stated?1st off thanks for putting this thru its paces, really appreciated!
I will need to forward this on to the dev team to respond fully, I don't think we need the screen shots and we will respond here ASAP!Hi Doug
Thank you for the reply great to know we will have this out in June it is a reliefe.
When I select any of the of the context property it does not work just brings me back to the web part view with out opening the context so it is not just the view property.
Another thing I have noticed while using this web part is that when I open a ECM link it opens it in the sharepoint view rather than the quest web part view, do I need to configure it so that the links open in web part view if so how?
And when I try to reply to any of the discussions I only get the body to reply in no subject field to type a title as it used to be in notes…… is this functionality not there.
If I am working on a discussion select edit and then close the edit view, the navigation takes me back to the collapsed view of the discussions and not to the actual discussion (expanded view) , I have to open the discussion I was working on from scratch. Can we have navigation which takes me in to the discussion I was working on ratther than opening the discussion from scratch?
I can send print screens with info on it if the questions above arent very clear but I am not able to see any place I can attach a document?
I am asking alot of questions hope not giving a headache lol just testing the beta version to best of its abilities.
Thank youWhen you select View Properties in the context menu, it should open the display form of the selected discussion. Is the View Properties context menu the only one that does not work? Or the others not working either?
You can group any field you want. You can also group multiple fields. We even support complex category like in Lotus Notes:
1. Multiple categories. e.g.: Category1, Category2, Category3
2. Nested categories. e.g.: Level1\Level2\Level3
3. Mixed between multiple categories and nested categories. e.g.: Category1, Level1\Level2
However, the complex category is only supported if you have the qListForm. The Microsoft List Form won't be able to handle complex category because we create our own control to handle the complex category.
If I don't answer all of your questions, please feel free to ask more.Hi;
I will let Eddy dig into some of the technical issues, but this will be released June 8th so it will be production ready then. Also, great news (and we will make a bigger annoucement about this so its not hidden down here in the forum) this webpart will be free for use, no license required!Hi Doug I have managed to resolve the issue it was my silly mistake but thank you for the reply. I have got another issue…when I do right click on the discussion and say view properties it does not open, it comes back to the quest webpart view as normal but I can preview the discussion body in preview pane. any idea why is this happening or is it me who is doing somethig wrong as the users dont wana see body for discussion in preview pane. Can I have different views like category grouped view, author grouped view as we have in lotus notes for a discussion database? Can you also tell me when will the full production version of this web part be out to use as this is the beta version, I believe this is a great web part which can resolve so many issues with views on sharepoint when notes database are converted. I have attached the config as requested: Viewed Lists <Lists> <List SiteUrl="." ListName="Full CRJDatabase" /> </Lists>
Display Fields <Fields> <Field Name="Categories" GroupExpanded="false" Grouped="true" GroupSortDirection="asc" /> <Field Name="Subject" /> <Field Name="Discussion Subject" /> <Field Name="Replies" /> <Field Name="From" GroupExpanded="false" /> </Fields>
