Laura Rogers (aka @WonderLaura) posted a neato way to populate a list form with the current user’s information today in her post SharePoint List Form – Default User Information. As I always say to Laura, it’s amazing how many different ways there are to do something in SharePoint! I would probably do it differently, but…
Starting today, my series of articles on Unlocking the Mysteries of the SharePoint Data View Web Part XSL Tags from my blog and EndUsersharePoint.com is available for download as an eBook from the Sympraxis Consulting Web site. I’ve had many requests to “bind this content up” into a book or eBook, so I did just that….
Saturday, I saw this tweet from my pal Michael Greene (@webdes03): I usually look at what Michael retweets, and this one was intriguing. The link took me to Fancy checkboxes and radio buttons by Marko Dugonjić, a web professional from Velika Gorica, Croatia. In the article, Marko showed a deceptively simple, but very nice looking, way…
I was looking through the incoming links here on my blog tonight, and I noticed this one: Middle Tier (un método alternativo para desarrollar en SharePoint). Well, that was interesting enough to click on, for sure! What it led me to was a Spanish post which is basically a brief paraphrasing of The Middle Tier…
As those of you who follow this blog know, I’ve get the best laptop in the world. One of the joys of it is the 64 bit architecture. I was lagging behind with my old Jornata Dell Latitude D820, and now I can VM with the big boys. But can I really? It turns out…
I got a DM in HootSuite today from Raymond Mitchell (aka @iwkid): We went back and forth a little, and I ended up creating the SharePoint XSL Templates project. This is an idea I’ve had for a while, but just hadn’t gotten to. Raymond’s prod made me actually do it. Creating a new Codeplex…
With a title like that, should I even pretend that this blog is about anything other than SharePoint? I had a nice Skypversation with Jeremy Thake (@jthake) earlier today. (Yes, today’s posts do have a certain @jthake skew.) Jeremy was having a problem with SharePoint Designer, and was hoping that I could help. What Jeremy was…
One of the great things about open-minded, intelligent people is that they can disagree and still enjoy each other’s opinions. (Yes, you guessed it, I’m saying that so that Bjørn doesn’t just dismiss me right off. He knows me well enough that I don’t think he will, but still…) Bjørn posted a well-thought-out set of…
I noticed something new today in HootSuite, though it may have been there for a while now. See that little icon I’ve highlighted in yellow below? When I click on it, check this out: Nice little feature, and I can keep better track of what my buddy Jeremy (@jthake) is up to. Of course, you’ll…
My white paper, The Middle Tier Manifesto: An Alternative Approach to Development with Microsoft SharePoint (see my prior post) has been garnering a decent amount of attention over the last few days, as I hoped it would. I’m enjoying the discussions it is provoking, as the discussions were the whole point in the first place. I felt…
