How to fix: Recurring Meeting Workspace error: ‘g_InstanceID’ is undefined
After changing the master page on a Meeting Workspace site, the recurring meeting workspace hyperlinks under “Select a date from the list below” do not work and throw a JavaScript error.
Please follow these steps to to overcome this error message "‘g_InstanceID’ is undefined "
1. At the top level of the site collection:- Browse to Site actions -> Site Settings -> Modify all site settings.
2.- Under the Galleries section, click 'Master pages and page layouts' to access the Master Page Gallery
3.Select 'Upload'. Browse to 12 hive\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL and select mwsdefault.master.
4.The 'Edit Item' page for the gallery will open. It's best to give this mwsdefault.master a new name in order to distinguish it from the original mwsdefault.master. Then click 'Check In'.
5.Publish the newly uploaded copy by selecting 'Publish a major version' from the item's dropdown box on the Master Page Gallery.
6.Approve the newly uploaded master page by selecting 'Approve/reject' from the item's dropdown box, selecting the Approved box, and clicking OK.
Back on the problem Meeting Workspace page:
-Select 'Site Actions' -> 'Site Settings' -> and then 'Master page' under the Look and Feel section
-Select the newly uploaded version of the mwsdefault.master in the Site Master Page and System Master Page dropdown boxes, and then click OK.
-the JavaScript controls on the Meeting Workspace will now work without producing the JavaScript error, making the other event dates browsable again.
I hope the above steps helps you to overcome this javascript error message and your meeting workspace template will work properly and never face this problem again. Thanks!!!

Thanks man for your example. It works great BUT i can't find the new master throw SharePoint Designer to customize it (again).
ReplyDeleteDo i have to download it from the Web, customize it, and after that upload it again?

ReplyDeleteFrom the "Master Pages and Page Layouts", click in the dropdown menu, and pick "Edit in SharePoint Designer".
I already start to customize the master.
I'll be in touch.
Hi again!...
ReplyDeleteI follow your guide, or example, and it works...
BUT at the moment to starting to customize the master page, and save the changes, and publish, etc, the links doesn't works again. Just like the beginning.
The wors was to see what happen after a few hour of customization.
I'm so tired, i will try it tomorrow, again.

Hello Bro,
ReplyDeleteGlat to hear that my posted info helped you to resolve the issue !! The info which is posted is not at all heavy customizations so dont worry abt it !!
I can recommend one thing in terms of customizations, always make the copy of the original master page before making any changes...
Incase of any doubts or queries then please let me know !! Thanks!!
Thanks and Regards,

Hey budy...
ReplyDeleteI just find othe problem. Customizing the master page, the "default.aspx" page just unplug it self from the master. I mean, the personalization just stop. I don't know what happen but i started it again.
Thank you for sharing this valuable info! it will definitely helps as well as useful to all SharePoint community
DeleteFinaly... i customize THE .master page changing some css styles in the CORE.CSS
ReplyDeleteAnd it workd perfectly. BUUUUUUT... it is hard to believe that MOSS2007 by its own shows errors if yoy just apply other .master page to a meeting site.
...it is the Microsoft sign.
Well, thanks for everything.
