Tips and best practices for SharePoint end users
- Pie and Bar Charts (Google connector)
- I already mentioned it briefly in an earlier post: the SharePoint User Toolkit now includes a tool that allows you to add simple pie or bar charts to your SharePoint pages. The code is actually a connector that points to the powerful Google Visualization interface. For this reason, Internet access is required. A common concern with
- No Easy Tabs v6 in 2012
- This is not the most exciting post ever, but I had to write it for the sake of transparency. In the past 6 months, I have been working on a new version of the Easy Tabs. I have also tried my best to answer the many requests I received in this blog or by e-mail. In
- Bridging the gap between the users and IT
- Happy New Year 2012! I discovered SharePoint 8 years ago, and I was immediately fascinated by the opportunities it offered. Being a functional consultant, I have always been on the user side, in “hosted” environments, where traditionally you have limited options to tweak applications. SharePoint was a game changer. The CEWP (Content Editor Web Part) and the DVWP
- A new location for the SharePoint User Toolkit
- This week, the SharePoint User Toolkit has officially moved to its new home: http://usermanagedsolutions.com/SharePoint-User-Toolkit/ It is now located in my company site. The site is still under construction, but you’re welcome to visit the home page to read about our upcoming offering: solutions, coaching, Web design and SharePoint hosting. As you would expect, the home
- Tutorial: build a simple slideshow with the Easy Tabs
- Environments: SharePoint 2007 (wss, MOSS), SharePoint 2010 (Foundation, MSS), Office 365 Audience: Power user. Permission level: design or full control. Estimated time: 10 minutes. Last year, I added to the Easy Tabs an Autoplay feature. It seems that not many people use it, so today let me show you how it can help you build a simple
- Back to Blogging
- I’m back! First, I’d like to apologize for the lack of recent updates. Moving three times in less than six months takes its toll. But now I have settled down in San Diego and I have no intention to move anymore! My first action item was to post a hundred replies to the readers’ comments.
- Office 365: some frustration with public websites
- In the past few months, like many SharePoint consultants, I have spent some time playing with Office 365, Microsoft’s own SharePoint hosting offer. Having read on many blogs how great Office 365 is, once again I’ll go against the grain to express some frustration I had with public websites (plan E3). On the paper, the SharePoint architecture

- A School Site to Track Schedules, Assignments and Grades (Part II)
- Guest Author: Trudy Hutzler Welcome to part two of the School Site Overview. In the last article I gave you some background about why we created the School Site, and I showed how we tracked classes. In this article we start to get into more of the fun stuff as I walk you through how
- Easy Tabs and accessibility
- Adaptive Web Design is my topic of the day, with my RSS reader bringing me two articles on this theme: Responsive Layouts Using CSS Media Queries, by Kyle Schaeffer, and Now You See Me by Aaron Gustafson. I am sure the Easy Tabs have a role to play in responsive layout, but today I’ll focus on the second
- Two new projects: SPrest and SPELL
- I have developed a sudden interest for Codeplex, Microsoft’s open source project hosting web site. It started last week with a post on Marc Anderson’ blog, about JSON, REST, and his infamous SPServices. In a follow up conversation, Marc pointed me to the related discussion on Codeplex. In less than 48 hours, I registered to Codeplex,
- A School Site to Track Schedules, Assignments and Grades (Part I)
- Guest Author: Trudy Hutzler Trudy currently works as a Senior Technical Architect for AT&T Hosting and Application Management, where she provides Windows Server and SharePoint support and administration. She is also a contributing author for the new Mastering SharePoint Foundation 2010 book. As a SharePoint Administrator I often get asked about adding visualizations and such to SharePoint
- Coming soon on Path to SharePoint
- No post in more than a month, this had never happened since I started this blog in 2008! Yes, starting my new company, traveling across the US, and the tax return have taken their toll… Mind you, the blog still remained very active, with more than a hundred comments posted in the past month. But
- Client side scripts: packaged Web Part vs. Content Editor Web Part
- A couple days ago, there was an awkward moment while I was working on a new project. I was on a video conference with a customer who already had a SharePoint site set up – actually a whole application including CRM, project management, etc. And he was happy to show me that my Easy Tabs

| In SharePoint 2007, the out of the box views - Gantt and calendar - are rigid and don't fit easily in Web pages.
This hands-on workshop will give you several solutions to work around this issue. We'll learn how to:
- adjust the Gantt timescale dynamically
- create a tiny calendar that fits in the right column
- add color coding
- include tooltips
- etc. All the solutions can be directly implemented by end users, and work on both wss and MOSS. |  | | Since the first release, in May 2009, the Easy Tabs Web Part has been a favorite among end users.
In this hands-on workshop, we'll go beyond the standard version, and learn how you can:
- modify the look of the Easy Tabs to match your page design: colors, rounded corners, hover effects, etc.
- create variations around the base solution, for example to display several Web Parts under a tab, have the URL point to a specific tab, or include in the tabs row a link to other content.
- build other designs inspired from the Easy Tabs technique: accordion and inline menu.
No special programming knowledge is required, all the scripts and instructions will be provided to the participants.
The solutions work on both SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010. | |
