I’ve just posted a new alpha (ALPHA4) for SPServices 2013.01. This alpha implements the return of a deferred object, aka a promise, as well as executing a completefunc (if provided) for backward compatibility. Note that the deferred object capability was introduced in jQuery 1.5, so this version of SPServices requires that version or greater. I’ve done…
Well, I’m back in the snowy Northeast after a great four days at SPTechCon San Francisco 2013. As always, the BZ Media folks put on a great show. SPTechCon is consistently well-run and packed with excellent content, vendors, and attendees. I wanted to post links to the slide decks from my three sessions. They are available…
I’ve started really cranking on the new version of SPServices and I’m having a blast, as usual. I’ve learned a few things already, and I thought I’d capture them in a post. “use strict”; Just gotta do it. I balked at implementing this previously, as it kept hating my code. Well, it hated my code…
Introduction Today’s SPServices Story comes from Prateek Kulkarni in Bengaluru, India. Prateek posted this originally on the C# Corner site as jqGrid Implementation Using SpServices in SharePoint. As with several of the earlier SPServices Stories posts, I found this one interesting because it shows how to use SPServices with another framework to render the results…
As I gear up to work on the next release of SPServices, I want to make some pretty fundamental changes/improvements to the internal plumbing. What I’m hoping to do with this post is to gather any ideas and feedback that the user community has about the implementation before I go too far with things. Deferred…
Introduction Here’s another SPServices Stories post that is a bit older and talks about how you can use SPServices with other popular plugins and frameworks. While this is possible with the CSOM, I’ve always found that SPServices provides a much tighter and more controllable syntax. You probably can’t trust me on that, though, since I wrote it….
Introduction I’ve been keeping a list of older posts about using SPServices that I’ve seen on the InterWebz for that day when I finally got around to doing something like SPServices Stories. This one is from Dan Stoll (@_danstoll) at Nintex, and was originally published on Dan’s blog back in February, 2012 as CEWP, Nintex, jQuery,…
This is a silly thing to need to post about, but I just spent about 15 minutes trying to figure it out, so I’m sure others will have the same trouble. I’ve read all about the impending merge of Skype and Microsoft Messenger. (See Skype and Messenger Coming Together: The Next Chapter) I figured I’d…
Introduction I’ve been aware that John Liu (@johnnliu) is a fan of SPServices for some time now. He occasionally tweets about things he’s up to, and they always sound intriguing. Recently, I asked him if he’d like to share any of his own SPServices Stories, and he did a post for me on his blog….
Introduction Many times, SPServices Stories play out on the field of the Codeplex Discussions. As someone posts questions about how to build some of the components of their solution, the overall plan comes into focus. Over the last week or so, I’ve been helping Oli Howson (@Mr_Howson) in the discussions here and here. As the bits…
