I’ve received a couple of reports of issues using SPServices with the recently released version of jQuery, which is 1.6. I’ve added a big red note on the home page of the SPServices Codeplex project: IMPORTANT NOTES: I haven’t done any testing whatsoever with jQuery 1.6+, as it was recently released. There has been at…
No matter how many times I add jQuery to a page in SharePoint, this is absolutely *always* the first thing that I do: If that alert in line 7 which is wrapped in a $(document).ready fires, then my script references are good. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve talked people through that simple…
The actual title of this book is the somewhat long "Beginning SharePoint 2010 Administration: Windows SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010". Christian and I have chatted back and forth many times on Twitter and via our blogs, etc., and he offered me a free copy (Yes, Mr. FTC Man, a free copy.) back…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 4 May, 2011. When someone new contacts me through my blog with a question about SharePoint, I’m usually game to help. (Though saying *please* is always a really nice thing. “You have to tell me…” or “give me the answer now…” isn’t so great.) If you contact me…
Sometimes in a SharePoint form, you might want to include a link which takes the user off to do something else. Maybe it’s to look at another list or some other page; it doesn’t really matter. If you’ve got a nice, fancy customized form using a DVWP, you can make that link a little smarter…
I’m still not sure I’m sold on the whole Twitterview concept, but it seems to be an idea that is catching on out there, as I’ve seen two others going on in the last few days. What I *can* say is that it’s always fun to interact with the good folks at BZ Media who…
Over the last few months, I’ve had a couple of requests for SPServices to emit JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) in addition to Extensible Markup Language (XML). This is probably a natural progression, as SharePoint developers are becoming more familiar with the JSON approach, which IMO has been traditionally known far better by Web developers. In my…
<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-04-27 14:36EDT”>Ooops. I misspoke when I said “that SPServices was the number one Codeplex project at the time”. It was the number one *SharePoint* project. Big difference!</UPDATE> While I was away lazing on a beach, Christian Glessner posted an interview-let he did with me in a very noisy place deep in the bowels of…
I’ve followed all of the hubbub about the iPhone tracking data story, and was dying to see what my own iPhone would tell me. I found a Windows program which would map the data for me called iPhoneTrackerWin. I’ve got to say, I’m more fascinated by what the data tells me than the whole horribleness…
When I first started using the nascent Internet back in 1992 (How many of you were even alive – or at least out of Legos – by then? Raise ’em up!), there was little I could do to interact with it. Most content was static and commenting barely existed. There were very few “publishers”, and…
