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…
Unfortunately quickly followed by 0.2.10a to fix a quick bug. But at least it was a quick fix, and driven by someone called mwhite01 trying to actually use SPDisplayRelatedInfo to solve a business requirement. In this release, the main new things are a new function called $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult and a slew of new Web Service operations. …
Today we released v0.2.9 of our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. This release includes a new function suggested by pagalvin in this Discussion thread. It’s somewhat limited in what it can do at the moment, but we wanted to get some feedback before adding more options to it. The screenshot below shows how it…
If you have had problems using the minified version of the 0.2.8 release (jquery.SPServices-0.2.8.min.js), please download the jquery.SPServices-0.2.8.js un-minified version. We’ve had a report of some things not working in the minified version, so we’ve removed it from the downloads and will do some more testing before we release another minified version, probably not until…
This afternoon, we released v0.2.8 of our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. I’ve marked it as a beta for now, but it seems pretty stable to me. (Never trust the coder.) In this release, we’ve added a number of operations and expanded the SPCascadingDropdowns function to work with dropdowns with 20+ options. As you…
First of all, we need a snappier name. Any suggestions? Secondly, it was nice to be alerted by Tom Resing (take his SharePoint 2010 adoption survey if you have a few minutes) yesterday that one of his colleagues had used our jQuery library for SharePoint Web Services in a real solution. Check out David McWee‘s…
