Introduction Stefan Bauer (@StfBauer) and I have known each other for a while now. We share a passion for developing solutions in SharePoint that both function well and look good. User Experience Matters. The other day I was working on a project where I wanted to access some managed metadata (MM) values in SharePoint 2010…
If you go to TechNet to find out where the thesaurus files for search are so that you can add in your own synonyms, you may be as confused as I was earlier today. It only took me about 20 minutes to figure out, but if three or four people find this post, we’ll have…
Introduction Anyone who follows this series knows that I’m always on the lookout for interesting and useful implementations of SPServices.

I’m just returning from another splendid time at the SharePoint and Exchange Forum (SEF) conference in Stockholm, Sweden. This year, the conference was actually international: it was held on the Silja Symphony cruise ship in both the Stockholm and Helsinki harbors. It was an interesting and fun venue for a conference, and for those organizers…
I ran into an odd situation the other day at one of my clients. When people edited existing list or library items in *some* lists (we couldn’t discern a pattern) the Modified By (Editor) column value did not change. The date/time stamp (Modified) was updated, but not the person who made the modification. We found…
Thanks to everyone who attended my session at SharePoint Saturday New Hampshire (that’s SPSNH to many of you) over the weekend. Thanks also to everyone who worked so hard to make SPSNH happen this year. It’s a helluva lot of work to put together events like this, and everyone deserves a big round of applause,…
As I’ve written many times in the past, I get a lot of questions via this blog. I try to answer some of them, but often they simply come in too fast and furious for me to get to them all. Answering the questions gives me some benefits, too, or course. First, I often learn…
I have gotten several questions on an older post of mine titled Setting a Rich Text Column in a SharePoint Form with jQuery from a guy named Travis. He’s been struggling to try to use the script in the post to get at the text in a Rich Text Editor (RTE) in SharePoint 2007. I just…
