While flying across the country to SPTechCon SFO 2011, I was going through some of my old “blog posts I should do sometime” lists and came across this cool trick. Brendan Horner (@hornerit) shared it with me months ago via Twitter and I socked it away for one of those extra moments. Well, I found…
<UPDATE date=”2010-02-09″> In all of my testing since I posted this, the z:row notation issue seems to be the only issue with jQuery 1.5 and SPServices. I’ve got this fixed in my alpha of v0.6.0, which I hope to release soon. However, in your own code, be sure to add the single quotes! Also see…
Next month, I will be speaking at the SharePoint Conference .ORG 2011 in Baltimore (March 6-9). My session is called, “Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery”. I’ve done this session quite a few times, but it’s never the same twice. It’s all demo, and I’ll be showing some of the old stuff, specifically SPServices form…
Sometimes I catch a tweet out of the corner of my eye and feel a need to comment back and sometimes 140 characters isn’t really enough for me to fulminate with. http://twitter.com/#!/rolandbouman/status/30614787268280321 Well, yes, but maybe no. If the only thing you’re loading jQuery and SPServices for is to get the current user’s identity, then…
Today is “SPServices and anonymous mode” day around these parts, it seems. I figure I’ll keep the posts coming on these topics today because for some reason I’ve gotten a string of questions about it. Here’s another question, edited a little bit to work here on the blog: We have built a web part that…
I got a question about the SPServices function SPRedirectWithID via email yesterday, and it seemed like it would be good to answer it in a blog post. The idea behind SPRedirectWithID is to allow you to redirect the user to some other page from a NewForm, with the new item’s ID on the Query String….
Thanks to everyone who attended my session at SharePoint Saturday EMEA yesterday. If you’re interested in looking under the covers of the demo that I did on Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier, there is a Site Template (MiddleTier.WSP) available on my Sympraxis Consulting demo site in the upper right which you can download and instantiate…
On a recent client project, I was able to take advantage of Jaap Vossers‘ excellent InstantListFilter project on Codeplex. It’s just the sort of thing that you need to improve the user experience with SharePoint, and you can do it with minimal work because Jaap’s done all of the heavy lifting for you. It’s a…
I’ve probably blogged about this at one point or another somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. A frequent requirement I get from clients is to add a set of FAQs to a SharePoint site. I always just "borrow" an Announcements list for this. Here’s a look at what columns you might use for…
When Randy Drisgill (@drisgill) offered me a free copy of the new book entitled Professional SharePoint 2010 Branding and User Interface Design he wrote with John Ross, Jacob J. Sanford, Paul Stubbs, and Larry Riemann, I knew I’d like it. (There’s the disclaimer: I got a free book out of this.) I know Randy and…
