I had a question today about how to get the current user’s manager and put the value into a Person or Group column in a list. This one only works in MOSS or SharePoint Server 2010 (not WSS 3.0 or SharePoint Foundation) because the UserProfileService Web Service is only available there. The code is relatively…
<UPDATE> 2010-10-27: After you read this, be sure to read Christophe’s follow-up to this post: About Scripts, Web Parts and Urban Myths. He gives some other specifics you’ll probably need. </UPDATE> One of the things I heard at SPTechCon several times was that in SharePoint 2010, it is no longer possible to put script into Content Editor…
The first thing I want to say is that the folks at BZMedia really know how to put one of these things together. The thing that really tells me that is that they were smiling and helpful through the whole darn thing. If you’ve never been involved in planning an event even 1/8 this size,…
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…
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…
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…
This weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at SharePoint Saturday Boston #3. Talbott Crowell, Pradeepa Siva, and Geoff Varosky put together another great event at the Microsoft offices in Waltham. Thanks to them and all of the sponsors! Photo tweeted by @ghurlman: http://yfrog.com/n8rt1zj My talk was about Enhancing the User Experience Using jQuery: In…
I was going to try to leave a comment in the teeny little box at the bottom of Mark’s post entitled I get by with a little help from jQuery and SPServices…, but I realized that I wouldn’t be able to post my code suggestions there so that they were readable, so I opted for…
