There was a post from Roger Langedal over on SPYam the other day asking about getting the value of a Managed Metadata column using jQuery. I hadn’t tried this before, so I thought I should give it a go. [important]By the way, if you are a SharePoint person (you’ve arrived here, so I think we…
Dan Antion (@dantion) did a great post over on his SharePoint Stories blog this morning called People Want Different Things. Dan does one excellent post per week on that blog. They arrive every Saturday morning, and reading it is usually one of the first things I do of a Saturday. Today’s was a great post,…
This is a really simple little thing. I end up writing little functions like this all the time, and never think much about them. But they are darn useful. This little function will hide a list column’s row in the form. You might want to do this on a NewForm but not the EditForm, for…
Well, Microsoft’s SharePoint Conference 2012 has come to a close, and I’m writing this post on the plane flying back to Boston. It was a humdinger of a conference. Not only was this the largest SharePoint conference on record, having it in Las Vegas made everything seem just that much bigger and flashy. Whether it…
This is just a quick post I’d like to use to gather your thoughts on where SPServices should go from here. At The Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, going on right now, many people I’m talking to are asking me about my plans. I’ve been mulling it over for a few months now, and…

The only solution I know for this is the one in the comment from Kristina P…
I don’t have much to say about this new tool from Lightning Tools yet, but it sure does looks promising. Lighting Tools makes good stuff in general, so I’m sure it’s going to work well. If I can get my hands on a beta copy and can kick the tires some, I’ll let you know…
I’ve been searching on and off for days on this one. When you create a Content Type based on the Document Set Content Type, it’s fairly common to want to restrict the Content Types which are allowed to be added to the Document Set. Here’s an example. Say you have a Document Set Content Type…
I’m working with the Managed Metadata Service for a client project, and we ran into an issue in the Term Store Management Tool. We’d like to add a SharePoint group as Contributors to a specific Term Store Group. On the Term Store Management screen, the instructions say: Contributors Enter user names, group names, or e-mail…
Someone asked a question in the SPServices Discussions this morning because they were getting an “Object not found” error. This type of error almost always means that the references to the .js files aren’t correct for your environment. I’ve done a few posts about how to remedy this, most notably Adding jQuery to a SharePoint…
