Every time I see Sadie Van Buren talk about her truly excellent SharePoint Maturity Model, I think of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ work on Death and Dying. Yes, that may sound weird, but I find that many technology implementations do through the same phases to some degree. Here are the five stages, as documented on Wikipedia: 1….
Unless you’ve been on vacation and disconnected or have taken a mental holiday from the SharePoint blogosphere, you’ve probably seen or heard of Steve Gaitten‘s post on the The Bamboo Team Blog called SharePoint is Going Away. I thought that I would start to collect the other posts I spot which are responses to Steve’s…
<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-08-16> If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording here. As I mentioned during the webinar, all of the important code bits are shown below. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a comment. </UPDATE> I’m not going to make it to what may be the largest SharePoint rodeo…
On Wednesday, July 20th, I attended the latest Boston KM Forum meeting at Bentley University. The theme was Fitting SharePoint to Knowledge Initiatives, which the content loosely followed and every presentation was valuable on some level. There were probably about 30-40 people in attendance (crowd estimation not being my forte). It seemed that the majority…
http://twitter.com/#!/sympmarc/status/96957415077064706 I tweeted that last Friday, a few days after Steve Gaitten posted “that post” (as I’ve seen people calling it on Twitter) called SharePoint is Going Awayon the Bamboo Team Blog. I was been on vacation last week, so I suppose I’ve missed the first wave of reaction to Steve’s post, but the reaction…
Here’s another quick question that ought to be useful to many people as they develop solutions with SPServices. Here’s the original question: Is there a way to add and animate /_layouts/images/gears_an.gif to my SPServices Page while the Service Request is being processed. Everything I have seen seems to require calling SPLongOperation from the code beside….
As is often the case, one of the threads on the SPServices Discussions seemed worth bringing over as a blog post. Here’s the initial question, with the script cleaned up a little for clarity: Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. When I first completed this project last month it was pulling all of…
I’ve been thinking about moving my blog from WordPress.com to some sort of hosted environment running WordPress.org’s version of WordPress for a while. With all of the jQuery and CSS stuff that I do and other possibilities for customization and monetization, it just makes a lot of sense for me to have more control over…
I have a question for you… In a DVWP is there a way to total a column? Absolutely. The most common approach would be to emit a table row in the dvt_1.body template (or equivalent) which uses the sum() function. An example would be something like this. Let’s assume that you have a column called…
I got an email through my blog the other day which asked an interesting question. My reply bounced back, so I figured I’d post it here as well as in the SPServices Discussions (where a question like this belongs, anyway). Hi Marc, first of all thank you for your contributions to the sharepoint community. [You’re…
