David -
Thanks again for your work on this! I was having the same problem with the TOC displaying (version 2), until I modified the “contexts” in the Wiki Toc.xml file – it won’t work for me at all if I leave the pageMode invalid=true setting in there. If I leave just baseTemplate=119 (or no context at all, ala the HelloWorld example) the TOC displays fine.
BUT…….when clicking an item in the TOC, it just takes us to the doclib that all of the WikiPages are stored in – not farther down the page or to the linked in doc.
Seems like it’s probably a javascript thing to me, but I am not a javascript guy.
Any ideas?

Tom H.

Possibly… let me finish solving a work thing I’m doing and then reinstall the code locally… it may be that updates since I originally wrote it have broke the functionality (i.e. that the DOM has changed significantly enough for the JavaScript not to work).

Hey David,

Like James I cannot see the TOC.
Are we missing a step?

I grabbed the latest source off of CodePlex and installed with not problem. I installed the wiki entry and it indicated success like the following

ShUIE.Admin -o enumentries -url http://testsite

title : Wikis
uid : 9cf3e073-9a44-4e42-931a-046368c5e369
active: True

I have created a Wiki Site Collection at http://testsite/sites/wiki and activated the site feature as described.

I cannot see the ToC as described but I do see :

in the page source. No references are in the page source for “wikiToc”

Any idea why I am having this issue?

Having problems with v2 install — the upload/install impacts the entire site collection such that the site collection needs to be reset.

Any install tips/details you could share?

Do you have the link to ShUIE v1? Only saw v2?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have updated ShUIE v1 so that it includes the new package that deals with the DateTime error that resulted in the disappearing ToC.

You only need to update the package, the database or property bags remain unaffacted.

I have also released the ShUIE v2 package so that the recommended option is to now store the customisations in the SharePoint Site PropertyBag. This will result in fewer SQL calls (none!) as well as being faster (memory resident).

Both packages resolve the bug mentioned in the last few comments. if you haven’t installed ShUIE go for v2, if you have, just reinstall v1 (there is now a setup.exe to make this easy for you).

I also have had a problem with the MOSS Wiki ToC disappearing after 1 day. The error that I also receive is:

..”Exception occured whilst rendering ShUIE scripts. ShUIE has been disabled to prevent breaking the page.”

Let us know when the solution is available. :)

Thank you.

Ah, I saw this somewhere else… it happened when the statistics engine ran each night and put datetimes in the propertybag. I have a solution checked into the source but just need to update the release package with it. I’ll do this a little later :)

Ok, so I got the WikiTOC working. Three days later my TOC was missing. I checked everything, but found nothing wrong (except the error listed below). I decided to create another new wiki site as a test and it worked there. The one that was working just three days prior will just not work. The TOC on that site is gone. Have you ever seen this?

To make things even more interesting that second site I created also lost its TOC after three days. I created a third wiki site and that one now works. The end result is two down and the one I created today is working for now.

When I view the source of the page where the TOC is missing the error I see:
Exception occured whilst rendering ShUIE scripts.
ShUIE has been disabled to prevent breaking the page.

Thanks in advance…
