Cross posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… In my last post, I wrote about why I decided to start building the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. In this post, I’ll tell you a bit about what’s there and how it works. If you’re totally familiar with the SharePoint Web Services, this may all be old hat to…
In my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, one of the most popular functions is $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns. The SPCascadeDropdowns function lets you set up cascading dropdowns on SharePoint forms. What this means is that you can enforce hierarchical relationships between column values. This is sometimes called connected dropdowns or linked dropdowns (or probably other things I…
This release contains two functions I’ve wanted to get into the library for a long time: $().SPServices.SPRedirectWithID and $().SPServices.SPRequireUnique. These two functions show how you can solve tricky problems with jQuery and the SharePoint Web Services much better than any of the other approaches available, IMHO. $().SPServices.SPRequireUnique allows you to specify a page to redirect to after…
Cross-posted from endusersharepoint.com… Even back in the old days (late 2006) when I first started working with SharePoint 2007, I was surprised how little interactivity there was within pages. Sure the drag and drop way to add Web Parts to pages and move them around had some “wow factor”, but most users wouldn’t even get…
UPDATE 2010-05-27: Back in January, 2010, I added a generalized function called $().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices to accomplish this to my SPServices library. It works basically the same way, but can be easily called with the name of the column for which you’d like to rearrange the radio buttons or checkboxes. It also includes an option to randomize the…
We released v0.3.2 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services today. This release contains a new function which was inspired by a blog post by Waldek Mastykarz. See the release notes below for details. Let us know if you see other cool stuff like this that you’d like to use. There are definitely some…
UPDATE 2009-10-19: I solved this for real in the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services function called $().SPServices.SPRedirectWithID. Feel free to read this post, but this is the solution you’re looking for. The most visited post on my blog, hands down, is the one on Redirect to Another Page from NewForm.aspx with the New Item’s ID. …
We released v0.3.1 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services today on Codeplex. It’s been a week since the last release, and we’ve had a satisfying 85 downloads of v0.3.0. Based on the emails I’ve been getting and the mentions I’ve seen on Twitter, this library is helping a lot of folks get real things…
An interesting email came over the transom today with some questions about "connected" list filters: Hi Marc, I often visit your blog for any doubts in dataview. I read your post on cascading dropdowns that was really helpful and presented in nice way. Recently i had to use a filter toolbar for a dataview,i had…
In testing the MOSS Workflow Web Service operations I’m adding to our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, I was getting an error sometimes when I called the StartWorkflow operation: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8102009B Turns out this occurs if there is a prior instance of the same workflow which has terminated in an error, showing…
