File Access Issues

Hi All – Seems that Box.com has disabled my account for reasons unknown. I am working with their support folks to get my account reactivated. Hopefully we’ll be back in business tomorrow.

UPDATE: We’re back in business – sorry about any inconvenience.

 

 

Happy Holidays!

Hi Everyone – Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my customers and blog followers for visiting the site and trying/using my software this year. It’s been a fun and exciting year for SharePoint Snapple and I have great plans for 2014. So Thank You for making 2013 so special and stay tuned for even more exciting stuff next year.

Taking a break for the holiday but before I do I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (or insert your holiday here) and a very Happy New Year!

Enhanced Document Upload 1.1 Released!

Hi everyone – busy week here. Wanted to end it on a good note with the release of the first update to the Enhanced Document Upload solution. Along with minor fixes, I’ve included the Common Properties Editor which will allow users to edit the common properties of selected items in document libraries. This is a natural extension of the existing features and I hope you find it useful.

Happy Labor Day everyone. See you next week.

Chatter for SharePoint: Search

Busy weekend here at SharePoint Snapple! First we release a ton of updates on Friday and now by late Sunday night (ok, technically early Monday morning) I have some more goodness to show you. I’ve been working on integrating Chatter conversations into SharePoint Server’s search and now have some details to share.

I’ve built an OpenSearch-compliant web service that queries the All Company feed, parses the JSON, and renders an ATOM/RSS feed that is compatible with the OpenSearch provider in SharePoint 2010. The service can either pass the user’s token to SalesForce or use a ReadOnly API user to make the call. Links in the returned stream open to the related feed within SalesForce.

I’ve felt that being able to integrate searching conversations into SharePoint is a must-have in this solution and I am excited that it is nearly complete. I will have a lot more details to share once I finish the design – but the early work is very promising.
