I released a solution that would filter any list in SharePoint. The purpose of the solution was to make it easy to get to the information needed from the list currently being viewed. Original article: jQuery – List and Document Library Filtering Solution In the latest version 2.0 the purpose has not changed, but improvements have been added. Based on feedback from others there were a few features requested.

SPDisplayRelatedInfo is a function in the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services that lets you display information which is related to the selection in a dropdown. This can really bring your forms to life for users: rather than just selecting bland text values, you can [...]

Support for in-place RM within all libraries is a major plus if you are looking for SharePoint 2010 to be your solution. Not only does this reduce IT overhead, but it allows your end users to live in the appropriate libraries for all relevant information. They won’t have to leave the confines of their collaborative environment to find a business record that relates to their project.

List administrators should be able to send e-mails to all the approved and registered users specifying some filters. For instance, the list administrator should be capable of sending e-mails to all the registered users from Canada. In this article, I will show you how to implement this requirement using Microsoft Word Mail Merge.

More searching didn’t turn up any other solutions. I tried various vbscript/excel functions in the calculated field to no avail. Then I started thinking clientside. I figured that if I could identify the fields in the list display, I should be able to manipulate them with jQuery. A quick search turned up a nice little piece of code by Paul Grenier on EndUserSharePoint.com. He has written a series entitled jQuery for Everyone and one of his articles was on Replacing [Today]. In his article, Paul talks about replacing a DateTime field with an Aging calculation. His article calculates a DateTime from the last modification date.

I describe a problem whereby document libraries having multiple content types use the default content type when documents are saved regardless of the selected content type.

This is the fifth article in a multipart series that is intended to help you create mailing lists for your SharePoint sites or blogs without writing a single line of .NET Code. In the introductory article, I listed the project initiatives, requirements, and objectives. In Part 1, I created a secured backend where we will store the subscribers’ contacts. In Part 2, I configured the ‘Contact’ content type, created a subscription form for the mailing list and did some simple customizations to it. In Part 3, I utilized the thrilling DataFormWebPart to further extend and enhance the subscription form to meet the project requirements. In Part 4, I implemented requirement # 3 by creating a list that comprises the names of all the countries of the world and a lookup field that gets its values from this list.

Recently I’ve been involved in the development of a SharePoint 2007 solution using InfoPath and Forms Services. The purpose of the solution was collection of employee questionnaire data using one of several forms designed as a multi-page survey. 

I was able to use SPD and not write a single line of JavaScript to automatically set a SharePoint Form Field based upon a Query String Variable.
