OK Go released a new album yesterday (180/360, and it’s great – go buy it!) so I figured I’d better release a new version of SPServices. Those guys shouldn’t have anything on me. My release isn’t live, but it’ll do new cool stuff in your live SharePoint pages. But enough tomfoolery. Yesterday (June 21), I…
Several people have asked me what I showed Dan Antion last week which caused him to say “Marc began by showing us one of the most impressive web pages I have ever seen in SharePoint.” I’m not sure that it was actually all *that* impressive (I have better!) but it does do some pretty cool…
Last week, while I was in Connecticut working with Dan Antion’s team, I was able to meet Mark Thompson (@MCTSMark) and Bill Kelly, who run the blog Consultant Chronicle. Mark and Bill are aiming to build readership amongst consultants and practitioners in the general technology space. Or, as their subtitle says “Building a community to…
Yup, I’m stealing the main part of the title from Dan Antion’s (@dantion) SharePoint Story for this week. Why? Well, because the story is about the two days I spent with Dan and his team talking about developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier. I don’t usually like to crow, but when someone like Dan comes up with…
Someone at Microsoft asked me whether I was an “IT Pro” or a “Dev” the other day in an official capacity, and I got a bee under my bonnet to figure out what the two terms actually meant. For a couple of years I haven’t really understood the terms, and since I figured I was…
I thoroughly enjoyed speaking at SharePoint Saturday Tampa yesterday. Michael Hinckley and his team (Is there a team, really, or is it all Michael??? I know his daughter was there helping at the Speaker Dinner.) did another crackerjack job with the event. It was great to see old friends like Michael Oryszak (@next_connect), Michael Greene…
I got a question on one of my other blog posts today called Determining if a User Is in a Permission Group with SharePoint’s Web Services: hi marc, do u know a good solution to hide something on a page for authorization concern ? js is not a good idea to secure something. there must…
SPTechCon was my first SharePoint conference back when I attended the San Francisco 2010 edition. That doesn’t seem so long ago, yet it really is in SharePoint time. (They say you’ll never forget your first girl, but in this case it’s my first conference, so… Yeah, if I have to explain it, it’s a stretch.)…
I got an interesting question today from the InterTubes, and I though it would make a good post. [Do you] you know of any resources/solutions to enhance the List’s “Export to Spreadsheet” function so that, once the data is opened in Excel, something would trigger VBA Macro(s) to start formatting the spreadsheet. “Export to Spreadsheet”…
Over in the SPServices Discussions, @PirateEric was having a problem setting the value of a Rich Text column (RTE) in a SharePoint form. He was referring to my blog post Finding the Contents of a SharePoint Rich Text Column with jQuery – And Changing It, which I’ll stand by, but the jQuery there wasn’t cutting it….
