Okay. It’s 2012. You’re hearing all this talking about the cloud and you’ve studied it a bit. Seems quite cool: no need for expensive hardware any more, no need for people carrying around servers, routers and firewalls. Signing up should be enough, right? Sure, if you know what you want and need. And that sometimes

Today I came across this thead on the forums, started by Marc Anderson; a well known MVP for SharePoint. He mentions the fact that SharePoint Designer 2013 is missing the “design view” known from SPD 2010. As expected, this is getting a lot of people nervous because they’re using the design view on a regular basis,

Hi SharePoint friends! It’s been a while. The last few months I was changing jobs (more about that in a seperate blog post) and taking vacation. Just before that, Microsoft released the first bits of SharePoint 2013. As is the case with 2010; this new version comes in two flavours: an on-premise installed version for

I came across what I find to be a pretty big security risk when you’re working with multi tenant SharePoint environments. Basically, it’s pretty simple. When you set up your environment and create a tenant, you have to specify the OU in which the accounts for this tenant live. This makes sure that your users cannot

Ok. This is quite a common scenario. You’ve got your SharePoint site setup which consist of multiple webs, maybe (probably) even multiple site collections. Your user is member of a handfull of sites and get’s tasks assigned. You need your user to stay informed about the tasks he needs to perform. You’ve got a couple

Having one of the following two problems? 1) Grouped views not working properly when you’ve selected a BCS / External data field as the group field 2) Column filtering not working properly for BCS / external data fields But these problems seem to be inconsistent, some records work and others don’t? Chances might be that

Today we ran into a weird problem. People reported not having access to their personal documents library on their MySite. So I checked, the Personal Documents library ACL was empty for that particular user. But for other users, I noticed where were some entried, just not their own user account and always Limited rights (which

One of our environments is one that was upgraded from MOSS 2007. In that transition, BDC changed to BCS and we didn’t really take care of that because we weren’t using BDC that much. One of the lists got migrated and stopped working, but because it was in a dark alley on our SharePoint site,

I spent quite some time today on a question I was asked. In an existing solution, we added a custom action (button) to the standard menu (the dropdown menu on your account name in the right upper corner of a site). This button was a “Add site to favorites” custom solution. The request was: can

There seems to be some mystery around a technique called form digest. Mainly because developers will get errors complaining about an invalid security state of their request. I’ll try to explain.
