Since workflows run under the ID of the person who performed the task that caused them to fire, this workflow requires Edit Items permission

It seems like every time I turn around, I have a project that reaches just beyond what SharePoint will do with out-of-the-box (OOB) functionality. And just about every time that happens, jQuery comes to the rescue to make the job easy, elegant, and robust.

SharePoint surveys don’t fire a workflow. You can create one, but it will never fire.

SPSetMultiSelectSizes is a function in the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services that lets you set the sizes of multi-select picker boxes based on the values they contain. This may sound trivial, but because of the way SharePoint constructs the pickers as compound controls, it’s less straightforward than you might think.

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 [...]

While seemingly everyone else in the SharePoint Universe is oohing and aahing over SharePoint 2010, I continue to plod along with my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. (Follow the library on Twitter: @jQSPWS.) I’m sticking with my belief that we’re all going to be using SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0 or MOSS) for a good long time, and my library will help make it work better and more “coolly” for us now rather than waiting for SharePoint 2010.

In my last post, I wrote about why I decided to start building the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. In this post, I’ll tell you a bit about what’s there and how it works. If you’re totally familiar with the SharePoint Web Services, this may all be old hat [...]

Large organizations also just don’t move fast. They will want to put SharePoint 2010 into the lab when it comes out and kick the tires, perhaps for a long time, until they decide to upgrade. And let’s not forget the 2003-2007 upgrade process, which left many folks with a bad taste in their mouths for what they think that this upgrade may bring. So, why isn’t now a good time for this jQuery library? We should be able to get a good 18 months or more of good use out of it.

This screencast is a brief demonstration of how to connect to a SharePoint web service, using SharePoint Designer and the data view web part. The goal in this example is to display a list of all document libraries in the site.

This is the second video in the Laura and Lori road trip saga. In the last episode, we left off when the cellphone rang. Let’s see what happened next…
