Over the last few days or so, Christina Wheeler (@cwheeler76) and I were trying to figure out why my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) wouldn’t work when SharePoint was enabled for anonymous access. I had always assumed that it was just one of those things. Even though I couldn’t find any definitive documentation…
In the last few days, I’ve had two positive experiences with this. I don’t see the point of just flaming about a product on Twitter unless it’s done something truly egregious. However, pointing out an issue seems like fair game. In both cases, I think my tweets were pretty much OK. LastPass I’ve been trying…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… When I made my initial pass through the XSL tags for this series, I missed a few. The example XSL I used in Parts 1 through 11 was very basic: just what you’ve get if you added a DVWP to a page to display the Title column of a list and that…
Jim Bob Howard (@jbhoward) always asks me good questions. Today he was interested in setting the value of a People Picker on a form with script. I pointed him at my old post about doing it with JavaScript, but we’re jQuery buddies, so I wanted to give him some jQuery instead. That and the fact…
<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-06-29T18:11Z”>I fixed a bug in the template where it didn’t always show the final value in the multi-select.</UPDATE> In a previous post entitled Displaying a Multi-Select Column “Nicely”, I gave a recursive XSL function which split apart the values in a multi-select column and gave you the option to separate them with any separating…
Bjørn Furuknap announced the faculty of the new USPJ Academy today. I’m excited about that because I’m one of the faculty members! Bjørn reached out to me back in January about joining up with the Academy, and after talking through his plans in person at the SharePoint Technology Conference (SPTechCon) in February, I signed on…
As I posted last week, I’m going to start certifying the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) functions for use with SharePoint 2010. In thinking through how best to do that, I realized that I needed a good, clear way to indicate what I’ve tested and whether there are any caveats you might need…
I just noticed that in the Tools section of the administration pages on my hosted WordPress blog (this one), I can insert the metadata tags which the big sites’ Webmaster tools require to verify a site. By doing this verification, you can improve your readership and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your blog. If you’re…
I’m looking forward to the SharePoint Evolution Conference coming up soon in London. As usual, I was Last Minute Charlie planning this, so I missed trying to get on the agenda to speak by a long shot. I’m hoping that I’ll get to have many great impromptu conversations about things like jQuery and Data View Web Parts…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Another day, another wunnerful article about the DVWP. This time, I’m going to cover some of the most useful “built-in” Field / Node functions. These are functions that are a part of XSL itself and help you work with nodes in the result set. A node is a geekier term for a…
