Regarding the people getting the “Value does not fall within expected range” error – I wonder if they’re using WSS and downloaded the compiled webpart from the codeplex site, while others are either using MOSS or have downloaded the latest source from Codeplex and compiled it themselves. The reason behind this is that I noticed that, on Codeplex, the downloadable webpart has a Dec 07 date, but Gary Bushey updated the webpart source in Jan 08 to work with WSS as well as MOSS.

Hello,
I was very excited about this solution and I’ve spent the past week trying to get it to work.
If anyone who has succesfully implemented this could give some advice on how to get past the “Value does not fall within the expected range.” error, I would be indebted to you for life.
I’ve corrected the commas, deployed and activated CascadingNav, and I am still getting the error.

Cris, we’re all very greatfull for folks like you who take the time to help you fellow techies in need.

Hi there,

Once you implement this solution..what about the new sites taht you created.do you have to update the custom list with this new data all the time ..or is it automatic?

Hello,

Please help ! —

I am new to Sharepoint and is working on a project that needs this solution.

I followed the instruction to implement the solution pkg. The CascadingNav.webpart is in my web part library — BUT when I click on it to preview, an error” “An error has occured with this web part. Please contact your system administrator and relay this error message: Value does not fall within the expected range. ”

Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, any example of how to use it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hondo

Hi Chris,

I too am getting the “An error has occured with this web part. Please contact your system administrator and relay this error message: Invalid URL: /” problem. It seems like a lot of people had this problem, did anyone find a solution to it? What is it that i am doing wrong??

Any way to get this to work across site-collections? I am currently trying to implement a master navigation that I can use across site collections. changing the datasource to a custom layout file seems to be the only way I can get it across site collections. But this looks very cool and I would love to be able to use it across all site collections.

Thanks for the solution. It works perfectly fine on main site collection but when you navigate to other site collection we get invalid URL error. Am i missing some thing here? do we need to publish navigation list on every site collection?

So, I can get it to work when I add the webpart to http://servername/sitename but it doesn’t know how to locate the list when the site is at http://severname/sites/sitename. Any ideas how I can get this to work with the second example? Thanks.
