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…
Managed Metadata columns are so cool and so nasty at the same time. If you want to display the value of a Managed Metadata column in a SharePoint Designer workflow, you get a horrible representation of it like ‘TermText|ba7e2a4f-6602-47a8-aa81-bca54756a356’. 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…
Well, Keenan Newton did a post on the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog entitle Changes to the Design View in SharePoint Designer 2013 yesterday that makes it official: the Design View in SharePoint Designer 2013 is not just missing, it’s not coming back. I’m reproducing Keenan’s post below, but you should also read it in situ, as the…
My father-in-law Fred Lutz died in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. He had been in declining health due to pulmonary fibrosis, and we knew that it was coming, we just didn’t know how soon. We’re all in a bit of shock around here. Part of what I can offer to the family during this time…
