jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services

New Post: Delete Multiple List Items in Batches

gkoliver — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:57:06 GMT

In your first example, you're using the syntax .find("[nodeName='z:row']"). If you are using jQuery 1.7.2, that syntax will not work. Marc made a note about that on the home page of this site. You need to replace that syntax with .SPFilterNode("z:row"). SPServices 0.7.1a added the SPFilterNode function to deal with the change in the jQuery module.

I figured I'd reply just in case someone else runs into this. I never did end-up getting it to work in batches; however, eventually I was able to delete things using the following. (I probably can modify this to be recursive with a wait, to get the job done.)

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.SPServices/0.7.1a/jquery.SPServices-0.7.1a.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("input[class='buttonpush']").click(function() {
		$().SPServices.SPUpdateMultipleListItems({ 
		webURL: "http://sharepoint.partners.org/mgh/anesprofdatacapturemodule/",
		listName: "Site Collection Recycle Bin",  
		CAMLQuery: "<Query><Where><And><Gt><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>1</Value></Gt><Lt><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>2000</Value></Lt></And></Where></Query>",  
		batchCmd: "Delete",  
		valuepairs: [],  
		debug: false,
			completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
                    alert(xData.responseXML.xml);
					}
			});
        });
    });
</script>

New Post: Can this be done using SPServices...?

sympmarc — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:28:39 GMT

The LDAP Web Services are totally separate from SharePoint, so you'll probably need to talk to your AD guys.

I'm not sure if the distinguised name is embedded in the People Picker somewhere once you've made a choice. Try setting the value and then searching the DOM with Firebug. If the distinguised name is in there somewhere, I can help you dig it out.

Bob_Mac — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:22:35 GMT

Yes, it is an AD DG. I'm not sure how to use the LDAP services within SP. I am only a site collection admin and therefore cannot do anything outside of those capabilities....

sympmarc — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:55:39 GMT

Bob:

If you're talking about a distribution group in AD, you'll need to call the LDAP services to get information about it.

I need to get the distinguished name of a Distribution Group from the people picker when a selection is made, is this achievable using SPServices, or does anyone know of another tool that can help me?

New Post: Getting 'blog' comments and posts

sympmarc — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:43:18 GMT

Sure. Posts in a blog site are stored in a list called Posts and the comments are stored in a list called Comments. You can retreive those items in the same way as any others with GetListItems.

New Post: Getting 'blog' comments and posts

daveybfire — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:03:40 GMT

Is it possible to use SPServices to get comments and posts from a blog workspace?

I have a webpart site, and I would like to use SPServices to extract text for the latest posts in a similar way that you would use GetListItems to extract data from lists and display in a CEWP.

If it is possible can someone point me to an example of how this can be done - and any information on any challenges with accessing blog data from a webpart in sharepoint with SPServices.

Appreciate any feedback

Thanks

New Post: SPGetCurrentUser - Load time

tabrandt — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:30:28 GMT

Just thought I would provide an update. We have narrowed it down to something that is being done by a 3rd party tool.. We have reproduced the lag on any web application that has this tool loaded. Once we loaded site on web application without the tool install we have not been able to reproduce problem and all web service calls are running fast as seen on my development environment.

New Post: Item-Level Audience Targeting with GetListItems

piccolo_hat — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:10:25 GMT

To anyone who may be looking to enable this with SPServices, I was not able to get this to work (doesn't mean it's impossible, only that I could not).

For my scenario, I opened up Visual Studio and had success in using the CrossListQueryInfo class (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms561846) to create a customized control with audience filtering enabled. In hindsight (and good learning for requirements gathering for future projects), unless you absolutely must have customizations here, I would recommend sticking with the out-of-the-box CQWP for this functionality if you can help it.

New Post: Is CAMLQuery parameter dynamic?

ewolthaus — Mon, 14 May 2012 07:26:45 GMT

@Chris (yelokahon),

If you would like 4 parentcolumns:

Look for the variables containing 'parentExtra' and triple the related code so for example you will have these parameters:

relationshipListParentExtraColumn1
parentExtraColumn1
relationshipListParentExtraColumn2
parentExtraColumn2
relationshipListParentExtraColumn3
parentExtraColumn3

Copy and triple the code looking for the value in the 4 parent dropdowns.

Finally, extend the CAML query that is build, based on these extra parameters.

It shouldn't be that hard...

Good luck!

New Post: Using Calculated column in Cascading dropdowns

sympmarc — Fri, 11 May 2012 14:52:57 GMT

Is the InternalName for the relatedListColumn "Facility" or "Title"? If it's wrong, since you have debug on you should get a message, so maybe it's right.

Also, if your form is customized, then the function may not be finding the column on the page. It's deigned to work with the out of the box forms; there's no way I can predict all the customizations you might do.

dlgross — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:53:48 GMT

Marc, thanks for the suggestion, i think that this function will meet my needs, but i am having a problem getting it work. I am trying to display 2 columns, the column headings show up below the dropdown on my customized New Form but the values don't display, the headings stay visible and data never displays. Any idea what i might have done wrong?

$(document).ready(function(){
$().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo({
               columnName: "Serial Number",
               relatedList: "{80E3D14E-7547-4CB9-9C6B-16C2591A03D7}",
               relatedListColumn: "Facility",
               relatedColumns: ["BldgFloor", "FloorLocation"],
               displayFormat: "table",
               debug: true
});
});

I just found my problem, i was using the wrong RelatedListColumn

TIA

It is open for you to modify however you seem fit. We have a modded copy to work with our own web services. We just added the guts needed to make our calls to the library and use it.

A way to follow Marc's logic within his library would be to use the unmin version and add some breakpoints within the script. Then make mods the the array(s) and objects you need to along the way. It was a lot of fun adding our own web service calls to this library. Makes life so easy...

iOnline247 — Thu, 10 May 2012 19:17:52 GMT

+1 to spevilgenius...

If they aren't in the UIL, then the people picker will not find them. If I'm not mistaken, you only need the user id when making updates or adds.

New Post: How to get the images from a folder inside the pictures library?

iOnline247 — Thu, 10 May 2012 19:15:06 GMT

Yes that's possible. You would modify your CAML query to reflect that. Don't have the exact syntax handy, but it's doable. It's not in the QueryOptions FYI, it's in the CAML Query portion.

I have a custom for that interacts beautifully with a Sharepoint List...the only issue is that I cannot get attachments to uplaod.

Yes, at this point, the user is expected to be in the "User Information List" in which they would indeed have an id. If they are not yet in this list, I am not sure you can add them with code in this case.

You can't. SPServices is built to interact with SharePoint's Web Services.

However, you can use SPservices as an example of how you interact with Web Services using jQuery.
