Introduction This is another story I ran across on Twitter and wanted to add to the SPServices Stories series. I wrote about my own experience getting attachment uploading to work in my post Uploading Attachments to SharePoint Lists Using SPServices. My cheat in that case was to change the DOCTYPE to HTML5 in a SharePoint…
Introduction Ingeborg Hawighorst (@IngeborgNZ) is a long-time SPServices user who has come up with any number of intriguing uses for the library. I’d recommend her blog anytime if you’d like to learn about interesting things you can do with SharePoint, but even more so if Excel is your bag. Ingeborg has been an Excel MVP…
Introduction Sometimes people ask me why I’m still bothering with the crufty old SOAP Web Services in SPServices. After all, there are REST and CSOM to play with and Microsoft has decided to deprecate the SOAP Web Services. Well in some cases, the Shiny New Toys don’t let you get the job done. In cases…
Introduction Ever on the hunt for good SPServices Stories, I spotted this cool one a few weeks back when Patrick Penn (@nfpenn) posted a screenshot of something he had done on Twitter.

Introduction My friend and fellow MVP Becky Bertram (@beckybertram) recently acquiesced to my suggestion to try using SPServices to solve a challenge she had in rolling up calendar items across lists. I know it may often seem that since SPServices is my hammer that I always say to whack the nails with it, but sometimes it’s…
Introduction It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new SPServices Story. This one was sitting in my draft bucket for way too long, so a big sorry goes out to Trace Armstrong (@TraceBArmstrong). Trace wrote this post about using SPServices to drive a slideshow using an announcements list as the source. This is the…
