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…
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…
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…
<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-06-29T18:11Z”>I fixed a bug in the template where it didn’t always show the final value in the multi-select.</UPDATE> In a previous post entitled Displaying a Multi-Select Column “Nicely”, I gave a recursive XSL function which split apart the values in a multi-select column and gave you the option to separate them with any separating…
It’s a little late, but I wanted to get a blog post out about v0.5.2. I released in on Sunday, March 7. Since then there have already been almost 200 downloads! Also see my prior post for information about the library with SharePoint 2010. There was one interesting thing I dealt with in this release which…
Jim Bob Howard and I have been going back and forth thinking about this for a few days now. You’re not going to believe how simple the answer is! I found a post that told me the simple answer: Just query the list like any other list! Here’s the simple test I just did in…
I got a question today via Twitter and my blog that I thought I’d share: Further to Twitter message, I need to lookup values in a large list (thousands of items). Now, list performance and architecture issues aside, my intention is to use some JQuery enabled textbox which makes web service calls to suggest matching…
I’ve been meaning to revisit my post from November 1 last year entitled jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services: Interim Update on What’s Coming Up in v0.5.0. I wanted to see how I was doing, if I’d forgotten about anything, etc. Reading through the post, I’m happy to say that I’m still having the fun…
I released v0.4.8 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services yesterday. As always, I recommend an upgrade, as I continue to make efficiency boosts in each version. Significant in 0.4.8, I made the $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentSite function smarter, so that it only calls the Webs Web Service’s WebUrlFromPageUrl operation once per page to cut down on…
