You may have seen the previous version of this script. At any rate, my goal was to create a script that required very little configuration and allowed prepopulation of any standard form field in SharePoint. This time, I’ve improved the look of “locked” fields as well as created a way to close or [...]

It’s official: Laura Rogers and I will be sitting in the cat seat at the Best Practices Conference in Washington D.C. in August as an Official Media Sponsor! What does that mean to you, the reader? Oh, wow… read on.

This morning I created a simple web part that shows a dynamic countdown to the days, hours, minutes and seconds until The Best Practices, Washington, DC conference kicks off. Look in the top left corner of the page here and you can see it at work.

Probably the best approach to really be able to see just what’s going on is to plug in a few test dates and run through the calculations, which is what we’ll begin with next time.

Laura Rogers posted an interesting business requirement at Stump the Panel of End User SharePoint: Laura solved the problem with SPD workflow which sounds interesting. Laura, I can’t wait to see it. I took a different path and created a „non-code“ required web part to solve this.

Next Tuesday, June 2 at 1:00pm EST, Laura Rogers will be leading the second live online workshop, showing how to use the data view web part to build data driven, SharePoint solutions. This is a hands on session where you will implement the solutions in your own, SharePoint sandbox.

Does this guy ever sleep? This is the sixth screencast in a five part series on SharePoint Designer Workflow, produced by Bjørn’s of the USP Journal. Yes, that’s right… the 6th in a 5 part series. Go figure.

I wanted to start off the series on the “Date and Time” set of functions by examining a specific problem that many folks have posted questions about – that is, how do you calculate the difference (number of days) between two dates, while excluding weekends? (Iain on the STP forums asked this recently, which sparked my interest in writing this)

Can you point us to a resource that lists ALL available web parts, no third parties please, and tells which version of SharePoint in which they are available?

Continuing with Laura Rogers series, this screencast is to supplement her Multiple Edit Forms article.
