SharePoint 2010 Filter Web Parts

Question

I cannot seem to get the SharePoint 2010 Filter Web Parts to display. I tried enabling the SharePoint Server Enterprise Web application features at the Site Collection level (Central Admin - Manage Web Applications - Select Web Application - Manage Features - SharePoint Server Enterprise Web application features - Activate) as well as at the Site level (Site Actions - Site Settings - Manage site features - SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features - Activate), but they still don't show up when I browse the list of web parts in the Filter Category.

I think I'm enabling the correct feature sets. Is there another dependency or something else I'm missing?

Additional note: I'm getting around this issue by manually adding the web parts to the Web Part Gallery for my site. It's a bit of a nuisance, but I am moving forward.

Answer 1

where did you find the filter web parts to upload them manually to the web part gallery? Are you using the ones from SP2007. I tried using the date filter from 2007, but the display on the calander does not show up properly!!

I am having the same issue with filter webparts for sharepoint 2010. I know i have all the right features activated! am not able to pin point the problem.

Answer 2

This is a SharePoint 2010 Server. I located the following six filters on the SharePoint server in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Share\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\BizAppsSiteTemplates:

• BusinessDataFilter.dwp
• DateFilter.dwp
• FilterActions.dwp
• OlapFilter.dwp
• SpListFilter.dwp
• TextFilter.dwp
