Tips When Asking For SharePoint Help
End User SharePoint
Guest Author: Mark Rackley The SharePoint Hillbilly One of the cool things about not being a total moron in SharePoint anymore is that I actually have the ability to help people. I’m always happy to lend a hand when I can, and it’s actually a great way for me to learn even more. However, sometimes it can be hard for me to give the proper advice/help because I don’t exactly know what a person is asking. There are so many different parameters that can affect any ad [read].

SharePoint 2010 for End Users

Guest Author: Veronique Palmer Site: Let’s Collaborate Everyone has heard about the new version, but as an average end user you probably would not have seen it yet or know much about it. It may also be a couple of years before your company decides to upgrade to the new version. So why should you care and what does this mean for you, especially when you are battling to get the current version under the belt?

Setting SharePoint Form Fields Using JavaScript
End User SharePoint
Guest Author: Mark Rackley The SharePoint Hillbilly In a few of my previous blog posts I have used JavaScript to set SharePoint form fields in NewForm.aspx. Using JavaScript to set these fields comes in really handy whether you are setting fields based upon query string variables (see previous posts) or setting a field to some other value. So, I’m going to quickly breakdown the JavaScript I used to set those fields and hopefully make it a little more understandable. Again, I did not & [read].

Make SharePoint 2007 Act Like SharePoint 2010, Updated

The added menu items in the ECB allow users to update certain metadata fields for that item or document. The cool thing is that everything is happening in the background with the help of jQuery, even the actual updating of the data. The result: no postbacks or full page loads, pure AJAX goodness just like showcased in the SharePoint 2010 sneak peek videos. [read].
