I just went through all of the “value-added” functions in SPServices and updated their certifications for SharePoint 2010. They were really behind the times and many were incorrect. Almost everything works great in SharePoint 2010, though there are a few functions that have some caveats. I wanted to make these updates as part of getting ready for…
Yup, that’s 20,004 downloads of SPServices since I first posted it on Codeplex back on August 19, 2009. I don’t know about you, but to me that’s really cool! p.s. Mark Rackley (@MrAckley) is going to claim that 18,342 of the downloads were him, but don’t buy it.
Oddly, I’ve had some people asking me where I’ll be speaking in the coming weeks and months, so I figured I’d do a post with the details. First up is SharePoint conference .ORG coming up March 7-9 in Baltimore, MD. I’ll be doing a session entitled Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery. While the title…
Those of you who attended my Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery session at SPTechCon SFO 2011 know that there were no slides, just demos. I wanted to give links to those demos in case you’d like to look at any of them to pick them apart or take them as starting points for functionality…
My pal Tasha Scott (@TashasEv) tweeted a question today about how to get at the display name for a Content Type on a NewForm: Hello Gentlemen, As requested, I am posting my query from Twitter in regards to trying to pass the Content Type of an item into the PlaceHolderPageTitleinTitleArea, um, area of a New…
<UPDATE date=”2010-02-09″> In all of my testing since I posted this, the z:row notation issue seems to be the only issue with jQuery 1.5 and SPServices. I’ve got this fixed in my alpha of v0.6.0, which I hope to release soon. However, in your own code, be sure to add the single quotes! Also see…
Next month, I will be speaking at the SharePoint Conference .ORG 2011 in Baltimore (March 6-9). My session is called, “Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery”. I’ve done this session quite a few times, but it’s never the same twice. It’s all demo, and I’ll be showing some of the old stuff, specifically SPServices form…
Today is “SPServices and anonymous mode” day around these parts, it seems. I figure I’ll keep the posts coming on these topics today because for some reason I’ve gotten a string of questions about it. Here’s another question, edited a little bit to work here on the blog: We have built a web part that…
I got a question about the SPServices function SPRedirectWithID via email yesterday, and it seemed like it would be good to answer it in a blog post. The idea behind SPRedirectWithID is to allow you to redirect the user to some other page from a NewForm, with the new item’s ID on the Query String….
Greetings from snowy New England. I’m readying SPServices v0.6.0 for release, and I need some folks who are willing to do some testing on real world usage. As I’ve mentioned in other places, one of my goals for this release is to pass most JSLint tests. The reason for this is to ensure that my…
