This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 5 April, 2011. <UPDATE time=”+30mins”>Yes, I’m bound to have forgotten some really important people and sites in this post. I’m already getting pings about it. I wanted to point out the people who are on *my* A-List. Please add comments with yours!</UPDATE> Unlike most of my posts, the…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 9 May, 2011. In my earlier post, I showed how to add script into a page using the CEWP in SharePoint 2007. In this post, I’ll do the same for SharePoint 2010, though in SharePoint 2010 there are other options as well. It’s worth repeating the intro to the…
I got a question in the SPServices Discussions the other day (it’s currently at the bottom of the thread) about listing folders in a SharePoint Document Library with SPServices. Little examples like this can be useful learning tools, even if they aren’t exactly what you are trying to do. <UPDATE>Based on the first two comments…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 26 April, 2011. This one may seem so obvious as to not merit a post or two, but I get questions on it often enough and I realized that if I had posts to refer to, it’d be helpful. I don’t see the CEWP as evil like many…
In Part One , I wrote about how I choose to use Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Twitter. Those are all “external” social media outlets, in that they are available to anyone on the World Wide Web (assuming that their government or employer doesn’t block them or some other such nonsense). But what of SharePoint? As…
On March 16 I was privileged to be able to speak at SharePoint Fest Dallas . I truly enjoy going to these conferences and being able to talk to people who are at many different stages of their SharePoint Journeys. Whether someone is at the conference to find out what SharePoint even is or is…
Thomas Zepeda-McMillan was kind enough to get in touch back in early February and give me the code he had built to wrap the TaxonomyClientService Web Service for SharePoint 2010. This made a nice additional piece of functionality to add to v0.6.0. The TaxonomyClientService allows you to interact with the Managed Metadata term store. I…
Around the time that my wife was pregnant with our son, I got very into genealogy. Suddenly it seemed very important to understand my backstory, and then my wife’s backstory, and even the backstory of any friends who were silly enough to mention a possibly famous ancestor to me. Since I’m a computer guy, I…
I’m starting to get feedback on the new version of SPServices, which is v0.6.0. One consistent message (other than “I love SPServices!”) is that it feels noticeably faster than previous versions. I wasn’t able to do any real benchmarking, but in my testing I felt that there was a noticeable performance improvement as well. At…
Last night (March 12), I released SPServices v0.6.0. As I’ve been discussing in previous posts (here, here, and here), this release is a significant refactoring so that it passes the majority of the coding standards tests at JSLint.com. Of course, there are some other great things included in this release as well, and I’ll outline them…
