Sahil Malik had an extremely useful little post about a month back that I emailed to myself and then promptly forgot. Today, Mikael Svenson pointed back to Sahil’s in a post of his own that is also very useful. I’m going to steal a little from both posts for this one. I hope Sahil and Mikael don’t…
I get many great questions in the SPServices Discussions (that’s the best place to ask questions about SPServices, IMHO, not the MSDN forums, or StackExchange, or on the Documentation pages on the SPServices site, where I rarely see them). Some of them deserve to get wider exposure by becoming a blog post, and here is one of…
Introduction Ben Tedder (@bentedder) has long been a fan of SPServices and his writing about it is great, to boot. I liked this post back when Ben first put it up on his blog because it really does tell a story, and SPServices plays a significant role in it. Ben has built quite a few real-world…
Introduction I ran across this SPServices Story in a post on the blog at CTS. The author of the post, Matt Ingle, is a Senior Consultant at CTS in Birmingham, AL. According to Matt, he is a team lead for a group called the SharePoint Factory. The SharePoint Factory team roles correspond to the various areas of…
I’ve just posted a new alpha (ALPHA4) for SPServices 2013.01. This alpha implements the return of a deferred object, aka a promise, as well as executing a completefunc (if provided) for backward compatibility. Note that the deferred object capability was introduced in jQuery 1.5, so this version of SPServices requires that version or greater. I’ve done…
I’ve started really cranking on the new version of SPServices and I’m having a blast, as usual. I’ve learned a few things already, and I thought I’d capture them in a post. “use strict”; Just gotta do it. I balked at implementing this previously, as it kept hating my code. Well, it hated my code…
Introduction Today’s SPServices Story comes from Prateek Kulkarni in Bengaluru, India. Prateek posted this originally on the C# Corner site as jqGrid Implementation Using SpServices in SharePoint. As with several of the earlier SPServices Stories posts, I found this one interesting because it shows how to use SPServices with another framework to render the results…
As I gear up to work on the next release of SPServices, I want to make some pretty fundamental changes/improvements to the internal plumbing. What I’m hoping to do with this post is to gather any ideas and feedback that the user community has about the implementation before I go too far with things. Deferred…
Introduction Here’s another SPServices Stories post that is a bit older and talks about how you can use SPServices with other popular plugins and frameworks. While this is possible with the CSOM, I’ve always found that SPServices provides a much tighter and more controllable syntax. You probably can’t trust me on that, though, since I wrote it….
Introduction I’ve been keeping a list of older posts about using SPServices that I’ve seen on the InterWebz for that day when I finally got around to doing something like SPServices Stories. This one is from Dan Stoll (@_danstoll) at Nintex, and was originally published on Dan’s blog back in February, 2012 as CEWP, Nintex, jQuery,…
