I’m starting to get feedback on the new version of SPServices, which is v0.6.0. One consistent message (other than “I love SPServices!”) is that it feels noticeably faster than previous versions. I wasn’t able to do any real benchmarking, but in my testing I felt that there was a noticeable performance improvement as well. At…
Last night (March 12), I released SPServices v0.6.0. As I’ve been discussing in previous posts (here, here, and here), this release is a significant refactoring so that it passes the majority of the coding standards tests at JSLint.com. Of course, there are some other great things included in this release as well, and I’ll outline them…
Thanks to everyone who attended my Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery session at SharePoint Conference .ORG in Baltimore on Monday this week. I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, and loved all of the interest and questions in my session. The folks at SusQTech put on a wonderful show! Here are links to the things which…
Tonight I released SPServices v0.6.0BETA1. The v0.6.0 release is a significant one even though it doesn’t contain ant major new functions. Much of the code has been refactored so as to pass (as much as is possible) the JavaScript tests at JSLint. We all learn how to code better over time (at least we should!)…
I just went through all of the “value-added” functions in SPServices and updated their certifications for SharePoint 2010. They were really behind the times and many were incorrect. Almost everything works great in SharePoint 2010, though there are a few functions that have some caveats. I wanted to make these updates as part of getting ready for…
Yup, that’s 20,004 downloads of SPServices since I first posted it on Codeplex back on August 19, 2009. I don’t know about you, but to me that’s really cool! p.s. Mark Rackley (@MrAckley) is going to claim that 18,342 of the downloads were him, but don’t buy it.
My pal Tasha Scott (@TashasEv) tweeted a question today about how to get at the display name for a Content Type on a NewForm: Hello Gentlemen, As requested, I am posting my query from Twitter in regards to trying to pass the Content Type of an item into the PlaceHolderPageTitleinTitleArea, um, area of a New…
<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…
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….
