Back on December 28, 2013, I released SPServices 2013.02, just squeaking in under the wire to be able to name it thusly. Soon after the release, Paul Tavares (@paul_tavares) and I noticed a few significant issues. These issues are fixed in 2013.02a. If you downloaded 2013.02, please replace it with 2013.02a. For the record, the issues…
As I mentioned in the last part of the series, when we build a Single Page Application (SPA), we’ll usually want to keep the data we’re displaying up to date. GetListItems and GetListItemChanges are two of the operations that can help with this, but the more robust option is GetListItemChangesSinceToken (MSDN documentation). In fact, it’s…
Yesterday I released SPServices 2013.02. Here are the release headlines: Improved compatibility with SharePoint 2013, whether on premises or on Office365, especially in the value-added functions (SPCascadeDropdowns, SPDisplayRelatedInfo, etc.) Better API stability, including fixes for GetListItemChanges, GetListItemChangeSinceToken, and others Bug fixes and performance improvements While this is primarily a maintenance release, if you are using…
I’m building a reasonably complex form with InfoPath 2013 in which I need to look up data for some dropdowns from several external REST Web Services. The REST services are available publicly and anonymously, so authentication isn’t any issue. For example, say I have a field on the form which displays values for Category in a dropdown….
Ira Fuchs has been at it again, working to make SharePoint more interesting and accessible to Real SharePoint People. What I like about Ira’s books is that they are written for people who want to get something done from start to finish. In each book, Ira takes us through how he’s built real applications. Ira’s…
[SharePoint Magazine date=”December 23, 2010″] Consistency in one’s development practices is a critical part of generating reliable, maintainable code. Most large software contains some inconsistencies, but in your development efforts with SharePoint, you should try your best not to introduce any inconsistencies of your own. In this article, I’ll show you the effect of one…
Until the other day when I figured this out, every time I hovered my mouse pointer over a presence indicator on SharePoint Online, my browser – which is Internet Explorer 10 at the moment – would crash. It wasn’t some polite little crash, either. The window would freeze, the dreaded “Internet Explorer has stopped working”…
Back on November 13 (my, how time flies), I was honored to be on the panel at an AIIM New England (AIIMNE) event entitled “How Are You Using SharePoint?” If you don’t know Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) and you have anything at all to do with information management, you should check them…
Here’s a question from gdavis321 from the good old SPServices discussions. In most cases, I just answer the questions in situ, but occasionally – as you frequent readers know – I realize what I’m writing feels more like a blog post, so I move it over here. It seems that Spservices (thank you for this…
In building a Single Page Application (SPA), we’ll usually want to keep the data we’re displaying up to date. You can probably think of many examples where you see this on the Web, but newsfeeds are a prime example. While we’re sitting on the page, we see newly posted content pop up, usually on the…
