Introduction I’ve been keeping a list of older posts about using SPServices that I’ve seen on the InterWebz for that day when I finally got around to doing something like SPServices Stories. This one is from Dan Stoll (@_danstoll) at Nintex, and was originally published on Dan’s blog back in February, 2012 as CEWP, Nintex, jQuery,…
Introduction I’ve been aware that John Liu (@johnnliu) is a fan of SPServices for some time now. He occasionally tweets about things he’s up to, and they always sound intriguing. Recently, I asked him if he’d like to share any of his own SPServices Stories, and he did a post for me on his blog….
Introduction Many times, SPServices Stories play out on the field of the Codeplex Discussions. As someone posts questions about how to build some of the components of their solution, the overall plan comes into focus. Over the last week or so, I’ve been helping Oli Howson (@Mr_Howson) in the discussions here and here. As the bits…
Introduction This SPServices Story comes to use from Rick El-Darwish (@RtfulDodg3r) in Geneva, Switzerland. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Gritter is a Growl-like notification jQuery plugin. That’s a mouthful, but try the links and you’ll quickly get the picture. If you’re an OS X user, then you’ll recognize the capability right…
Introduction SPServices Stories #4 comes to us from Michael Broschat. Michael claims he’s just a “regular old contractor, nothing special”. He lives in the DC metro area (Northern Virginia, specifically), although he’s originally a West Coast boy. Using SPServices to Process Files from a Non-Microsoft Source Our system involves email messages sent to a SharePoint…
I want to thank the fine folks at SusQTech (@SusQTech) – Steve Witt (@SPLumberjack) and Julia Oates (@juliaoates), in particular – for asking me to present in their “30 on Thursday” webinar series today. We had a great turn out and it’s a given that I love to talk about SharePoint and jQuery together. It’s like…
In my previous post entitled Referencing jQuery, jQueryUI, and SPServices from CDNs, I provided the references to quickly add jQuery, jQueryUI, and SPServices from the CDNs I typically use. However, I made a bit of a faux pas in what I provided. It’s better to omit the protocol in the references. Browsers will simply use…
Ouch. Last week, several alert SPServices users reported issues with jQuery 1.9.0. (See: SPServices Compatibility Issues with the Minified Version of jQuery 1.9.0) It turned out that the minified version of 1.9.0 had a comment at the end of it that caused any jQuery library which followed it to throw errors. Today, I had a…
Introduction This submission comes to us from an anonymous reader, who can’t publish the details under his (or her) name due to confidentiality issues. However, s/he has been able to generate some very useful charts with HighCharts using SharePoint list data as the underlying data sources. Charting List Data with HighCharts In the following code,…
Codeplex users tedka and danstaley have reported issues using SPServices with jQuery 1.9.0. You can read their issues here and here, respectively. I’ve done some quick testing, and the problem seems to be with the minified version of jQuery 1.9.0, *not* 1.9.0 itself. When I use the non-minified version, my test pages perform just fine….
