You cannot use the "Minimize" option and other menu options in Web Parts in the personal view on a Windows SharePoint Services site

SYMPTOMS

You cannot use the Minimize option and other menu options in Web Parts in the personal view on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the default value of the AllowPersonalization attribute is set to "false" for the WebPartZone in the Default.aspx page on the Windows SharePoint Services site.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, set the value of the AllowPersonalization attribute to "true" in all Web Parts of the Default.aspx page that has the custom portal site definitions. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Default.aspx page of the site definition from an editing program.

    For example, you may find the Default.aspx page in the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\Custom Site Definition Folder
  2. Locate the following tag in the Default.aspx file:
    <WebPartPages:WebPartZone … />
  3. Set the value of the AllowPersonalization attribute to "true" as in the following example:
    <WebPartPages:WebPartZone AllowPersonalization="true" …/>

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
