jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services v0.4.7 Released

I released v0.4.7 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services today. This release primarily contains enhancements to existing functions, but also a new set of operations for the Meetings Web Service.

The big headlines are:

Just a reminder: If you are still using a version prior to v0.4.6, I *highly* recommend an upgrade, as I made some significant performance improvements in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns and $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo.

Release Notes

New Functionality

Issue Tracker Item Function Operation Description
NA $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo NA Added new options numChars and matchType
5010 $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns NA Added support for secondary relationship lists
5012 $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns, $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo, $().SPServices.SPLookupAddNew, $().SPServices.SPRequireUnique NA Added a completefunc option
4196 $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns NA Added support for multi-select parent columns

New Operations

Web Service Operation Options MSDN Documentation

Bug Fixes and Efficiency

Issue Tracker Item Function Operation Description
4971 $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns NA The & sign causes problem
NA $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo NA Improved debug mode when relatedList column doesn’t exist.
NA $().SPServices.SPLookupAddNew NA Added in some better debug mode code. It wasn’t trapping in any obvious way if the column you called it with wasn’t actually a lookup column. Now with debug mode enabled, if the column isn’t a lookup column, you’ll get a message, like with the other debug mode-enabled functions.
5011 $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo NA Improved formatting for calculated columns by removing leading value type indicator (e.g., string;#, float;#, datetime;#)

        1. Ron:

          Sounds like you’re heading in the right direction. Be sure to read the documentation so that you get everything set up right.

          The name value in a People Picker is captured in a plain old INPUT control, so grabbing the value is pretty straightforward with jQuery. (The fancy parts of the People Picker are the things wrapped around the INPUT control.)

          M.

  2. Thats what i did

    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(div[Title='People Picker']).blur(function(){
         alert('hi');
       });
    
    });
