Tonight I’ve released SPServices 2013.01. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I strongly suggest that you upgrade to this version, as you will see some performance improvements and there is some nice new functionality. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta and provided feedback. jQuery Promises By far the most exciting thing in this release…
Today I’m releasing SPServices v0.7.2. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I suggest that you upgrade to this version, as you will most likely see some performance improvements, especially if you use multiple value-added functions on the same forms pages. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta over the last month or…
I’ll admit that I sometimes make mistakes. Here’s a clear one. When I made some changes to the way I initialize the default options in SPServices to help slim down the footprint, I missed testing a few things. Luckily, alert SPServices user mbroschat caught it very soon after I released v0.7.1 and I was able to…
People post working bits of code all the time on the SPServices site at Codeplex, and I don’t always do a good job of making them known to others. Usually I add good examples to the documentation pages, but I don’t always get to it. Sometimes by seeing what someone else has done, we get…
Today I’m releasing SPServices v0.7.1. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I strongly suggest that you upgrade to this version. Not only does it have some cool new stuff in it, I’ve managed to squeeze some considerable performance improvments out of some of the most used functions, like SPCascadeDropdowns and SPDisplayRelatedInfo. In my…
Today I’ve posted the first beta for SPServices v0.7.1. While it is only a point release, it contains more significant changes than its sibling, v0.7.0, which was mainly focused on publishing a version which would work with jQuery 1.7. If you are willing and able, I’d appreciate you testing this beta in any places where you…
Faster and more furious, that’s what I always aim for. I’ve been working hard on this next release of SPServices. I’ve been lucky to have some down time between projects to do it. Yes, I’m happy to have the gap so that I can do more and do it better; I’ve been able to make…
Yup, the alphas are coming fast and furious these days. I just posted a new alpha of SPServices v0.7.1. The most significant change in this alpha is the ability to have multiple child columns for a parent column in SPCascadeDropdowns. This was something I always intended it to do, but the last time I tried…
Oftentimes people go searching for plugins and already-written code to accomplish their goals. I find that it often gets people into more trouble than it’s worth as they usually don’t understand what they have deployed and it doesn’t work well in their specific situation. Of course, here I am posting something that those of you…
Tonight I posted the first (we always hope the only) beta for SPServices v0.7.0. Initially I was calling this release v0.6.3, but when jQuery 1.7 was released and it caused problems with SPServices, I decided to bump the version so that the sevens matched. Get it? 1.7 and v0.7.0? Such are the complex decisions we…
