SharePoint

Thanks Michael for pointing the issue out. I’ve finally caught up on some work that needed to be done on ERTE and now the new version is available for download. The updates are as follows:

Fix for IE8,
wrapped the thing in a function so you can run it on custom event
added support for _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array if [...]

This one’s very useful when you’re having a lot of items in a list or document library and you need a quick filter.

If you’ll select the filter field it can happen that it will load for a long time. So lately I’m using URL. Suppose you have a long list of contacts and you need [...]

This post continues the topic from my first part about embedding Flash videos in SharePoint Blogs where we’ve learned how to embed one Flash animation or video (or have a lot of work for publishing each flash).  The problem arises if we want to embed more videos and have them displayed automatically.

Since SharePoint is [...]

If you’re trying to import spreadsheet to create a SharePoint list in SharePoint 3.0 you can receive some errors. This especially occurs if you’re using Excel 2003.

Another good program for blogging is Windows Live Writer. And I’m using this one. Why this one? Because [...]

Today I was moving the videos for our e-learning portal Piflar to the new Windows SharePoint Services. And after moving videos for couple of hours – all one by one, not to break the links in data views, I start on working on the data view to display the videos. And I get terrified! The data view [...]

Time.com announced 50 coolest websites. So if you’re up for becoming the candidate for the next year, check and compare yourself to them. It’s a good starting point .

If you’ll be making the offline version of a website and you’re thinking to include the active content like Flash or JavaScript (or both) you can surely use the Mark of the Web, which I’ve described in the previous post.

There is a catch though. You can’t make the mark of the web for pictures. So [...]

SharePoint and FrontPage have a very nice functionality of grouping the data in a list data view according to selected group. What in my opinion can be improved, is that you expand or colapse the group with a click on the whole cell rather than targeting that small plus or minus sign in front of [...]
