Where did the MSDN SharePoint 2010 files go? All replaced with SharePoint 2013?
A few months ago I clicked a bookmarked link to an MSDN article about setting up the development environment for SharePoint 2010. Here is the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx To my amazement, I found that the article now contains content about setting up the development environment for SharePoint 2013. I tried to navigate to the same tree [...]
SharePoint “There was an error in the callback” in “Manage Content and Structure”
The other day, I had this error when I tried to point a Content by Query Web Part (CQWP) to a list on a sub site. I clicked the + sign in the tree view to open a sub site so I could see its lists, but what I saw instead was: “There was an [...]
Link to edit item (ECB) on another column than Title – no code!
In SharePoint, any custom list will have a default column called “Title”. This column will have the edit menu attached to it when it is shown in a List View. The edit menu is also referred to as the “Edit Control Box” or ECB. The Title column can be renamed if another column name is [...]
Hide those empty SharePoint metadata columns in Word 2010
You may have used Word field codes before to conditionally show document properties in a Word document.

A mega menu for SharePoint with a DVWP and a list
Mega Menus are a hot topic in current user interfaces. There are many JavaScript and jQuery tools out on the interweb that provide the JS code to present those Mega Menus in an appealing fashion. All these solutions use hard-wired html that hold the nested UL and LI items for the menu, though. Within SharePoint, [...]
Quick preview of SharePoint 2010 theme colors? PowerPoint!
In SharePoint 2010 it is easy to create custom color themes to jazz up a site, although trying out different color ideas may take a while, since it takes SharePoint some time to save, apply and render a new theme. Not good if you quickly want to flick through a few ideas. Using Office 2010, [...]
Infopath 2010 validation woes
While working on an Infopath 2010 form to be used in one of the SharePoint 2010 sites, I came across two challenges. End users will enter a number in a field, where values between 0 and 100 are allowed, in increments of 0.5. For example 11 or 22.5 or 65.0 are OK, but not 0.3 [...]
Beware of absolute links
This should be easy-peasy for anyone who has their html under control. If you develop a site that will move through different environments (i.e Dev/Test/Prod domains), make sure that the links you use are relative to the site root and not absolute paths to the domain. Example at hand: The SharePoint site image was set [...]
The SharePoint 2010 journey starts …
I’m about to be handed the keys to the vaults. After months of informally studying blogs, books and articles on the web, playing around in a corporate development space and setting up a SharePoint 2010 farm on a VM hosted on a Windows 7 laptop, I’ve finally absolved a one-week SharePoint 2010 Administrator training course.
