In my post What About Anonymous Writes to SharePoint Lists with Web Services? the other day, I wondered why the SharePoint Web Services don’t allow anonymous updates to SharePoint lists through the Web Services, even when anonymous write access is enabled on those lists. Since then, I’ve gotten two independent answers that tell me that it just…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… In the last article, I covered some of the XPath Math / Number functions; in this one, I’ll cover the rest. The first set included the ones that I considered somewhat tricky, and the ones in this article ought to be more straightforward. One thing that I forgot to mention in the…
Here’s the nut of the question. SharePoint’s Web Services fall into two main classes: those that read (generally Get* methods) and those that write. Others don’t really make sense unless you are authorized, like the Users and Groups Web Service. In situations where you are allowing Anonymous Access, it makes perfect sense to be able…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… I’m going to go back to the XPath Math / Number functions for this article to cover a few of them. Most of these functions are fairly intuitive, but I’m a math guy. (Yup, I even majored in it in college back during the Renaissance.) However, I find that the “documentation” in…
Every once in a while, someone comes back to the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) site and shares something they have been doing with the library. I read through one today that was impressive, so I thought I’d post it here so more people can read it and see what neato stuff is…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… There are a few more XSL tags that I should briefly touch upon. They are used much less often than the others that I’ve covered, but more than the bunch that I’m not going to talk about at all. There’s a set of them that are really only going to make sense…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… If you are using WSS or MOSS for a public-facing site, you may want to allow people to post content in a limited way. A great example of this is where you want to have a Contact Us form on your site. If you have serious concerns about security, then this article…
Over the last few days or so, Christina Wheeler (@cwheeler76) and I were trying to figure out why my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) wouldn’t work when SharePoint was enabled for anonymous access. I had always assumed that it was just one of those things. Even though I couldn’t find any definitive documentation…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… When I made my initial pass through the XSL tags for this series, I missed a few. The example XSL I used in Parts 1 through 11 was very basic: just what you’ve get if you added a DVWP to a page to display the Title column of a list and that…
Jim Bob Howard (@jbhoward) always asks me good questions. Today he was interested in setting the value of a People Picker on a form with script. I pointed him at my old post about doing it with JavaScript, but we’re jQuery buddies, so I wanted to give him some jQuery instead. That and the fact…
