Since I posted the previous version of the solution that utilizes the Google Chart Tools / Interactive Charts (aka Visualization API), Google has updated their API and made the previous version more or less obsolete.

SharePoint: Extending the DVWP – Part 31: Filling in Default Data on the insert Template with jQuery

SharePoint: Extending the DVWP – Part 30: Using EasyTabs with Filtered DVWPs to Make Data Manageable

I’m a big fan of tagging and tag clouds as one mechanism for categorizing content and wanted to see what would be involved with accomplishing this using jQuery.

It’s been awhile in this series since we looked at a DVWP. We’ve been building on an idea of using cascading dropdowns—where the selection of one dropdown limits the selections available in the next.

You could add the PreSaveAction() JavaScript section directly to the page in SharePoint Designer (SPD). You could even add it to the master page, if that made sense for your project. But, I usually add it to a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP).

I have long thought of making a generic solution for pulling information from another list, kind of like you would do in Excel with the function vLookup.

The solution in this case, was to build an initialization workflow that on item creation would wait for a specific value, then perform an update.

After I created my document library to hold my Training Routes… you have created your Map Repository, right? Part 1, Part 2…, I wanted to make the results of each map available to everyone within the site collection.

In this segment, I’ll document how I created a basic respository to hold the maps. Then, in the next installment, I’ll demonstrate how to integrate the SharePoint Map Repository into a training tracker in SharePoint.
