Boy, I feel sort of ungrateful for not having blogged about this already. Last month, the good folks at Microsoft invited me to New York City to participate in an afternoon session to “showcase the end-to-end value proposition across the information worker (IW) solution set. In a nutshell, this will be a half day summit…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Way, way back in January, I wrote Part 3 of this series and said: “In my next article, I’ll show what the multiple document metadata entry page (EditFormBulk.aspx) looks like and how it works. Teaser: Yes, it uses jQuery and my jQuery Library for SharePoint…
The SPXSLT Codeplex Project has been languishing a bit due to a lack of time to focus on it on my part. (See my earlier blog post New CodePlex Project: SharePoint XSL Templates (SPXSLT) for more information on what this project is about.) These XSL templates can be used in your Data View Web Parts…
Matt Bramer and I were helping someone out in the Stump the Panel forums at EndUserSharePoint.com the other day and in the conversation, the person posted this list structure: I created a list called “Solution Team Profiles” with the following columns affinity to market birth date Bus Phone Cell Phone Clearence Levels Deal 1 Allocation…
Here’s a question I got in the forums at the USPJ Academy today. It’s a nice simple question, but the answer points out a cool thing about SharePoint forms: the PreSaveAction. I was watching the excellent video posted by Marc Anderson: Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery – Chaining from Selector.mp4. In this video Marc…
Tonight I’ve released SPServices v0.5.7. I can’t believe that I released v0.5.6 all the way back in June. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in SPServices, quite the contrary. Even more people have been using it (over 3800 downloads), and as I’ve said before, I know that its in use in some of the largest…
I got an email today from someone I didn’t know through my blog. Here’s the gist of it, edited a bit to remove a few details: I work in sales and marketing for a company that develops software for government agencies. A lot of our potential customers are moving to SharePoint 2010 in the future….
Heather Waterman and I were talking about some stuff today (Name dropper, you say? Absolutely!) and she pointed out an interesting little trick with an SharePoint:AspMenu control. SharePoint:AspMenu controls are used in SharePoint to dynamically create navigational elements like the top navigation tabs. In SharePoint 2007, those tabs were rendered as pretty complicated TABLE constructs,…
There’s a long thread over at EndUserSharePoint.com‘s Stump the Panel where I’m trying to help someone to set up some jQuery to do some calculations in the form to check if the values are valid. The person (handles don’t always give away gender!) is struggling (IMHO) with the difference between server-side and client-side code. There’s…
<UPDATE date=”2011-02-14″>: As of jQuery 1.5, single quotes are *required* around z:row or any other similar node selector. This was actually “required” in previous versions of jQuery, but not enforced. </UPDATE> Kevin Carbonaro posted a neat little gadget example to the SPServices Discussions today, and I thought it was slick enough that it deserved a…
