In case you missed my Middle Tier Magic: The SPSTCDC Web Site Speakers and Sessions Pages webinar which I did a little over a week ago with Dux Sy (@meetdux), I just wanted to do a quick post about it. The webinar was my “session” for SharePoint Saturday: The Conference (SPSTCDC) since I wasn’t able…
Do you have any lists in SharePoint where the forms seem to go on and on, marching down the page, seemingly ad infinitum? I’ve seen lists which have over a hundred, even over 300 columns. This is a horrible thing to do to your users for so many reasons, but one of the primary reasons…
When you build a Data View Web Part (DVWP) in SharePoint Designer, there are times when you might need compound filtering. By this, I mean something like: Show me the items where (City=”Abington” or Approval Status=”Approved”) and Approval Status!=”Pending” It’s sort of a silly example, but you should get the gist. Where you put the…
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…
