Someone recently said via Twitter “If you aren’t using Easy Tabs, you are missing out!” I totally agree, best feature I can think of to expand my Sharepoint solutions.

Do you have a SharePoint site with multiple lists with common columns that are associated with each other?

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.

In the Enterprise version of SharePoint 2007, there is a set of handy out-of-box filter web parts. In this screencast, Laura Rogers will demonstrate the Query String (URL) Filter Web Part in its simplest form

I sent out a link to the SharePoint World Cup Template demo site I created from Andy Dale’s framework template. I tweaked it a little with some widgets to make it a little less geeky.

The Content Query Web Part (CQWP) is a pretty powerful beast. It allows you to do multiple site queries and aggregate the results.

To get a SharePoint template that fits your processes perfectly you are going to have to make your own – and thankfully it’s exceptionally easy to do – so here’s how.

I come across requests that help me really understand the power that SharePoint provides without having to “write code”.

On past projects I have made web parts collapsible by wrapping web part zones with code in the page layout. The disadvantage with this approach is that it is not adjustable by the client without modifying the page layout. A project I just wrapped up required the flexibility for site owners to add or remove web parts that automatically became collapsible. This project was for SharePoint 2010, but I converted the solution to work with SharePoint 2007

During the course of a customization and branding effort in SharePoint you are likely to find that you want to style web parts to look different from (Dare I say better than?) the stylistic treatment default to SharePoint.
