I was wondering if anyone could give me any information regarding the dependencies for this?
I can see the lists just fine within the website.
I can load up the sharepoint admin central site in sharepoint designer and see lists.
Permissions are all turned on but not love.
returns 404 – not sure if required or not.
NEW INFO:
This issue has occurred after updating Sharepoint to 2010.
I setup logging so that I could see if there were any errors and sure enough there were.
"Failed to determine the setup path of the list schema for feature {75a0fea7-040e-4abb-b94b-32f1e7572840}, list template 106.
I think I have to either install this feature or remove the list item that uses it.
EDIT SOLUTION:
So … this GUID refers to a list item that is using a particular template or something from 40 fab templates. In upgrading to sharepoint 2010 these no longer worked.
So there were three lists:
Absences
Absence Types
Google Maps .. something.
Deleting these from powershell was the resolution.
A tell tale sign of which items were causing the dramas was that when you clicked on it from within the website it errored.
