Nov.3,2011In a fit of community spiritness, I’ve decided to share my Google Maps Web Part, complete with source on CodePlex.
If you want a Sandbox Solution or a Farm Solution with a simple way of placing a Google Map onto a Web Part page, this is for you.
Check out the project here: http://sp2010googlemaps.codeplex.com.
Filed Under : SharePoint 2010 by Joel Jeffery Nov.1,2011Despite protests from music lovers, here is another of the songs from my SharePoint Show.
This is a mix from several live versions. In this song we visit what you can and can’t do in the Sandbox, and the several ways in which the User Code Service protects our server from the evils of any user code that tries to run a “Bad Command”.
Apologies to Lady Gaga, and all those who have been affected by issues in this video.
SharePoint 2007 had a commonly used feature that enabled users to create views on lists that grouped by Content Type.
For some reason, this feature was removed from the user interface in SharePoint 2010.
If you wish to do this today, you can do this using SharePoint Designer to create a view and then change the Xsl to specify a different field name to group by (e.g. “ContentType”).
Alternative, we could try and get our options added to the ViewEdit.aspx page. Options aren’t great for this as it’s a _layouts (application) page, and therefore we can’t just edit it in the browser or SharePoint Designer.

One of my students tonight asked if it was possible to add a condition to a SharePoint Designer 2010 declarative workflow to detect if the initiating user is a member of a particular audience.
There’s nothing built-in to deliver this in SharePoint 2010.
So I knocked-up the following solution based upon the excellent reference implementations of workflows from the SharePoint Prescriptive Guidance Pack at spg.codeplex.com.
I’ve put the full version of my source code and a completed release up on CodePlex.
Firstly, the .Actions file, which must be deployed to 14\\Template\\Xml\\1033\\Workflow:

Filed Under : SharePoint 2010 by Joel Jeffery Oct.25,2011I was recently asked how the dual stage recycle bins worked in SharePoint 2010 by one of my students (thank you, Andrew!), and I realised that I didn’t know enough. It’s not just me either. This has to be one of the poorest-documented SharePoint features on the Internet.
This article charts my journey of discovery.
The SharePoint Recycle Bin is a complex entity. It has two stages, both accessible from within the site collection.
The 1st stage, known as the “end user recycle bin”, is where lists, documents and list items delete by users are sent. Their storage limit is known to be included in whatever site collection quota.
