When I go into a new client, I immediately start watching for the subtle cues which will tell me how the project will go. I don’t have a formal checklist, but I pay attention to some things which might seem a little odd: the noise level in the office, the number of private offices vs….
I wanted to do a quick post about SPServices v0.6.1ALPHA1. The one change in this ALPHA is to add a new function called SPFilterDropdown. I’ve had a lot of requests for this functionality lately, though it has come up on and off in the past as well. Note that this is an ALPHA release, and…
I had the pleasure of meeting Ira Fuchs for the first time at SharePoint Fest Dallas a few weeks ago. Ira is a SharePoint Technical Specialist at Microsoft, so I’m guessing he has access to some of the brightest SharePoint minds in the world. As Ira and I were talking, he saw fit to gift…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 5 April, 2011. <UPDATE time=”+30mins”>Yes, I’m bound to have forgotten some really important people and sites in this post. I’m already getting pings about it. I wanted to point out the people who are on *my* A-List. Please add comments with yours!</UPDATE> Unlike most of my posts, the…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 9 May, 2011. In my earlier post, I showed how to add script into a page using the CEWP in SharePoint 2007. In this post, I’ll do the same for SharePoint 2010, though in SharePoint 2010 there are other options as well. It’s worth repeating the intro to the…
I got a question in the SPServices Discussions the other day (it’s currently at the bottom of the thread) about listing folders in a SharePoint Document Library with SPServices. Little examples like this can be useful learning tools, even if they aren’t exactly what you are trying to do. <UPDATE>Based on the first two comments…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 26 April, 2011. This one may seem so obvious as to not merit a post or two, but I get questions on it often enough and I realized that if I had posts to refer to, it’d be helpful. I don’t see the CEWP as evil like many…
In Part One , I wrote about how I choose to use Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Twitter. Those are all “external” social media outlets, in that they are available to anyone on the World Wide Web (assuming that their government or employer doesn’t block them or some other such nonsense). But what of SharePoint? As…
Thomas Zepeda-McMillan was kind enough to get in touch back in early February and give me the code he had built to wrap the TaxonomyClientService Web Service for SharePoint 2010. This made a nice additional piece of functionality to add to v0.6.0. The TaxonomyClientService allows you to interact with the Managed Metadata term store. I…
Around the time that my wife was pregnant with our son, I got very into genealogy. Suddenly it seemed very important to understand my backstory, and then my wife’s backstory, and even the backstory of any friends who were silly enough to mention a possibly famous ancestor to me. Since I’m a computer guy, I…
