There was a post from Roger Langedal over on SPYam the other day asking about getting the value of a Managed Metadata column using jQuery. I hadn’t tried this before, so I thought I should give it a go. [important]By the way, if you are a SharePoint person (you’ve arrived here, so I think we…
This is a really simple little thing. I end up writing little functions like this all the time, and never think much about them. But they are darn useful. This little function will hide a list column’s row in the form. You might want to do this on a NewForm but not the EditForm, for…
Well, Keenan Newton did a post on the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog entitle Changes to the Design View in SharePoint Designer 2013 yesterday that makes it official: the Design View in SharePoint Designer 2013 is not just missing, it’s not coming back. I’m reproducing Keenan’s post below, but you should also read it in situ, as the…
Today I’m releasing SPServices v0.7.2. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I suggest that you upgrade to this version, as you will most likely see some performance improvements, especially if you use multiple value-added functions on the same forms pages. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta over the last month or…
I’ve written previously about SharePoint Designer 2013′s Missing Design View here on my blog as well as on the Microsoft forums and elsewhere.. My goal in writing about this and making a lot of noise about it is not to simply complain. (We have way more complaining about everything out here on the InterWebz than we…
Hello, all! I was away on a fantastic trip to Western Canada.I posted BETA1 before I left and there have already been over 500 downloads. I’m back and ready to push out the v0.7.2 release of SPServices as soon as I work through the feedback I received while I was gone. I haven’t seen any significant…
It’s been a bit too long since I’ve released a new version of SPServices. It was mid-February when I released v0.7.1, and I’ve been adding new functionality and squashing bugs since then. At this point, I believe that I have a pretty stable beta ready. If you have the time and the inclination, I’d truly…
The SharePoint Technology Conference (SPTechCon) has always been one of my favorite SharePoint conferences. It was the first big conference I ever spoke at, and the folks at BZMedia(where’s Katie’s photo???) who put it on are all aces, every single one of them. I only did one session at the latest iteration in Boston because I…
I’ve been working on several projects with good old SharePoint 2007 (MOSS). jQuery and jQueryUI sure can spice it up nicely. Recently, I decided I wanted to refresh the contents of a Data View Web Part (DVWP) based on a user selection – a simple click on one of a big set of links –…
Today, July 6 at about 4pm EDT, SPServices v0.7.1 received its 10,000th download Because I’m amused by this sort of thing, I was watching on my iPhone from my friend’s beach house. The animated GIF below shows it as I saw it happen. Notice that Toby Mai (@GrumpyTech) tweeted me right after he did the…
