Hi All,

just in case you come across this limit like I did, here is the fix.

The no. of sites shown by the TOC web part is controlled through the Web.config file of the web application.  Made the following entry in the web.config file and this resolved the issue.

 

============

Open web.config and look for the following lines:

 

        <add name="GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Global navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Global" EncodeOutput="true" />

        <add name="CombinedNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Combined navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Combined" EncodeOutput="true" />

        <add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Current navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="true" />

        <add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode" description="CMS provider for Current navigation, no encoding of output" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="false" />

 Add the following attribute to each provider definition: DynamicChildLimit="<Integer>" (0 indicates no limit).

 e.g.

         <add name="GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Global navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Global" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="75" />

 

And likewise for each of the definitions shown above.

Thanks for this tip! I used it and a tip from another site to set my DynamicChildLimit="0" (no limit) and it worked like a charm!

This is great advice, thanks.

I would add that this adjustment to the XML is done in the IIS web.config (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectory\something.site.com80) for EACH front-end server, not the SharePoint web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extension\12\CONFIG\).  Because the server will now detect that the files have been changed, an IISReset will happen and each user will get a 'fresh copy' of the SharePoint site.
