For a client I was setting up a FAQ section. Each question is its own page with a publishing page layout and content type attached. The client’s request was that each page include a list of related questions. As each question has a managed metadata field called “FAQ Category”, this shouldn’t be much of a problem – and it wasn’t!
I did the following:
1. Place a content query webpart on the page layout.
2. Configure the content query webpart as normal
3. Set up the filtering:
Note that it is possible to filter using the value of a field on the current page and/or using a query string variable (e.g. default.aspx?value=y).
Note: this only appears to work for managed metadata fields – when I tried it on normal single line of text fields, this extra option didn’t appear. And when I tried telling it to use [PageFieldValue: fieldname] as a filter value, the CQWP couldn’t be rendered.
Hi, i was just test a quite similar solution today!it didn’t work so i’ll be glad to get more details.
i want to use that method to display a filtered view of a document library, when each site display only the documents which related to the site subject. the documents has a managed metadata column which contain the subject. i try to define the subject of the site by adding the managed metadata column to the page layout (custom content type).
