Background I was recently engaged to assist a client in arranging for SharePoint search results to be surfaced in a Drupal PHP based content management system. Using the excellent blog post by Kirk Evans (High Trust SharePoint Apps on Non-Microsoft platforms) and some judicious use of Fiddler/NetMon we were able to get the Drupal Application …

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking at a much closer SharePoint Saturday to home than all of the others I’ve attended in the past. This was the turn of SharePoint Saturday London at the Imperial College in Kensington and although I’m good friends with both Seb and Peter who ran the event, that doesn’t …

Bill started by pointing out the development history and the symbiotic relationship between …

Starting with SharePoint Saturday Belgium last weekend (read more about that here) and continuing with the SharePoint Evolutions Conference in London from Monday.

I’ve just woken up at home after another excellent SharePoint Saturday Belgium! The BIWUG guys always organise a great event and this one was no exception so thank you very much to them and good luck to the new Board members stepping up this year.

It’s been a while since I set-up an Office 365 subscription, well in actual fact it hasn’t been that long, but the boys and girls in the O365 product team have been busy for sure. I’m in the process of prepping my sessions to deliver at the 2015 SharePoint Evolutions conference in April. (Wait, what …

Last year I released some of my templates for JSlink onto the SPCSR repository, but I was never totally happy with the solution for MDS (Minimal Download Strategy) enabled sites. Basically, in order to make sure that MDS recognises our scripts and doesn’t remove them when it’s processing the page refresh, we had to use …
