Those of you who attended my Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery session at SPTechCon SFO 2011 know that there were no slides, just demos. I wanted to give links to those demos in case you’d like to look at any of them to pick them apart or take them as starting points for functionality…
My pal Tasha Scott (@TashasEv) tweeted a question today about how to get at the display name for a Content Type on a NewForm: Hello Gentlemen, As requested, I am posting my query from Twitter in regards to trying to pass the Content Type of an item into the PlaceHolderPageTitleinTitleArea, um, area of a New…
I’ve had two questions this week about how to find the contents of a Rich Text column reliably with jQuery. Rich Text columns are rendered in a more complex way than just a nice textarea. Like some of the other column types they are a sort of hybrid, with some HTML elements and some script to…
Scott Jamison (@sjam) mentioned the Microsoft Training Catalog in his session at SPTechCon this afternoon called Build It and They Will Come: SharePoint 2010 User Adoption. There’s some great SharePoint educational material available on the site, which I wasn’t aware of before. (Why? I don’t know.) Apparently, you may have access to some materials for…
Matt Bramer (@IOnline247) asked me a good question today in the USPJ Academy forums which I needed to think about and do a little searching to answer. That usually makes for a good blog post. I’ve tried to follow your aggregate data source steps in 2010 and I can’t seem to view a data source…
While flying across the country to SPTechCon SFO 2011, I was going through some of my old “blog posts I should do sometime” lists and came across this cool trick. Brendan Horner (@hornerit) shared it with me months ago via Twitter and I socked it away for one of those extra moments. Well, I found…
<UPDATE date=”2010-02-09″> In all of my testing since I posted this, the z:row notation issue seems to be the only issue with jQuery 1.5 and SPServices. I’ve got this fixed in my alpha of v0.6.0, which I hope to release soon. However, in your own code, be sure to add the single quotes! Also see…
Next month, I will be speaking at the SharePoint Conference .ORG 2011 in Baltimore (March 6-9). My session is called, “Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery”. I’ve done this session quite a few times, but it’s never the same twice. It’s all demo, and I’ll be showing some of the old stuff, specifically SPServices form…
Sometimes I catch a tweet out of the corner of my eye and feel a need to comment back and sometimes 140 characters isn’t really enough for me to fulminate with. http://twitter.com/#!/rolandbouman/status/30614787268280321 Well, yes, but maybe no. If the only thing you’re loading jQuery and SPServices for is to get the current user’s identity, then…
Today is “SPServices and anonymous mode” day around these parts, it seems. I figure I’ll keep the posts coming on these topics today because for some reason I’ve gotten a string of questions about it. Here’s another question, edited a little bit to work here on the blog: We have built a web part that…
