Carlos Nunes-Ueno posted some XSL you can use in a DVWP to the SPXSLT Codeplex Project a while back which allows you to easily utilize the jQueryUI accordion and tabs functions. I asked him if he’d mind if I did a blog post on it, and he agreed. (If you happen to read the thread,…
Yes, that title says using jQueryUI on InfoPath forms in SharePoint. InfoPath forms are fantastic, except when they just aren’t quite able to do what you want. While InfoPath can help you take your SharePoint list forms to a whole new level, there may be times when you want to add some behavior to those…
In case you missed my Middle Tier Magic: The SPSTCDC Web Site Speakers and Sessions Pages webinar which I did a little over a week ago with Dux Sy (@meetdux), I just wanted to do a quick post about it. The webinar was my “session” for SharePoint Saturday: The Conference (SPSTCDC) since I wasn’t able…
Do you have any lists in SharePoint where the forms seem to go on and on, marching down the page, seemingly ad infinitum? I’ve seen lists which have over a hundred, even over 300 columns. This is a horrible thing to do to your users for so many reasons, but one of the primary reasons…
When you build a Data View Web Part (DVWP) in SharePoint Designer, there are times when you might need compound filtering. By this, I mean something like: Show me the items where (City=”Abington” or Approval Status=”Approved”) and Approval Status!=”Pending” It’s sort of a silly example, but you should get the gist. Where you put the…
Every time I see Sadie Van Buren talk about her truly excellent SharePoint Maturity Model, I think of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ work on Death and Dying. Yes, that may sound weird, but I find that many technology implementations do through the same phases to some degree. Here are the five stages, as documented on Wikipedia: 1….
Unless you’ve been on vacation and disconnected or have taken a mental holiday from the SharePoint blogosphere, you’ve probably seen or heard of Steve Gaitten‘s post on the The Bamboo Team Blog called SharePoint is Going Away. I thought that I would start to collect the other posts I spot which are responses to Steve’s…
<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-08-16> If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording here. As I mentioned during the webinar, all of the important code bits are shown below. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a comment. </UPDATE> I’m not going to make it to what may be the largest SharePoint rodeo…
On Wednesday, July 20th, I attended the latest Boston KM Forum meeting at Bentley University. The theme was Fitting SharePoint to Knowledge Initiatives, which the content loosely followed and every presentation was valuable on some level. There were probably about 30-40 people in attendance (crowd estimation not being my forte). It seemed that the majority…
http://twitter.com/#!/sympmarc/status/96957415077064706 I tweeted that last Friday, a few days after Steve Gaitten posted “that post” (as I’ve seen people calling it on Twitter) called SharePoint is Going Awayon the Bamboo Team Blog. I was been on vacation last week, so I suppose I’ve missed the first wave of reaction to Steve’s post, but the reaction…
