This is a first. I was editing away in Sublime Text today and suddenly I couldn’t save my code to the mapped S: drive I was using in SharePoint 2013. S: is for SharePoint. Get it? The error message on the PC side wasn’t all that helpful, as one might expect. (Sorry for the crappy…
Ever watchful – and talented – guy that he is, my friend Paul Tavares (@paul_tavares) pinged me the other day on Twitter with a question. Hey. Question. On your O365, did you add RequireJS as a SOD? Noticed it was registered when I looked at the page code the other day. Paul has a Site Collection…
Summary: Because of the significant inconsistencies in the SOAP Web Services, converting your calls to REST will be a different process for each of them. In this article, we’ll look at the real workhorse of SPServices: GetListItems. When my mechanic works on my car, sometimes he tells me about some different tires or parts I…
There is very little now in 2013 for which you need SPservices [sic] from /r/sharepoint It wouldn’t surprise you to hear that my answer to this is “it depends”.

Yesterday I helped my pal Marcel Meth (@marcelmeth) with a pretty simple little task, but everything’s simple if you know how to do it! We needed to add simple accordion-like expand/collapse functionality to the Quick Launch on the pages in a Site Collection. Because there were going to be a lot of links in the…

It’s sort of blogging combined with content crowd-sourcing combined with highlighting like I have on my Kindle combined with… Well,…
It’s been a busy few weeks in my life. First I was in London at the SharePoint Evolution Conference, then home for a week, then off to Microsoft Ignite in Chicago, then back home, and boom! I was heading out the back to put some burgers on the grill, I missed the second to the last…
Yesterday I created a new GitHub repo for KnockoutJS binding handlers for use with SharePoint. I’ve been using KnockoutJS for over a year now, and love working with it to build Single Page Application (SPAs) and other interactive functionality inside SharePoint. I thought starting a repo that could store bindingHandlers for KnockoutJS that are generally…
At the great SharePoint Evolution Conference last week, someone – I wish I could remember what session it was! – mentioned this great little tool. It helps you to create a very detailed theme for SharePoint 2013. You can save the file into a .spcolor file, which you can upload to the Theme Gallery in…
