2018 was an amazing year for me and for this blog – I met fantastic people throughout the year that supported and motivated me to continue with this project and to do more every day.
Before starting to produce new content in 2019, I would like to share with all of you guys some of my achievements last year.
Modern SharePoint sites rendered on SharePoint Mobile App or Microsoft Teams are different than when displayed in the browser.
Native components are removed from the page or replaced by native APP options. If you are building extensions or web parts for the modern SharePoint you may want to test them in both environments to make sure they are not overlapping with native apps features.
While the framework does not provide context variables to let developers know where the component is running, it needs to be validated through the user agent.
What is probably the most important release of SharePoint Framework since its original version, brings a list of long-awaited features, already showcased during Microsoft Ignite. In this article, I will highlight three:
This version is no longer exclusive to SharePoint and is available also to extend Microsoft Teams. Version 1.7 might be the start of the Office 365 framework, as it starts being used on other products. It will definitely allow for a smoother, more coherent experience across the workplace and its different applications.
SharePoint and Teams will soon have a lot in common with the SharePoint framework being used as a base foundation to extend both platforms. While we can’t get our hands on that, I’ve decided to build a solution that makes navigation between SharePoint sites and pages inside Microsoft Teams a little bit easier.
Let me start with a HUGE disclaimer: even though it is possible to enable custom scripts on modern SharePoint, you should only consider using it when there is no other alternative.
Having custom script disabled by default on SharePoint removes functionalities that old school users miss, such as list templates and the solution gallery,among several others. Most of the features removed by custom scripts can be achieved using PnP and SharePoint Online Cmdlets.
Do you need to draw the attention of your Intranet users to certain upcoming events on your calendar?
If your answer is ”Yes!”, then this article explains you how to take advantage of modern SharePoint to promote events in a compelling way, using images in your intranet pages.
Modern SharePoint has a dedicated web part to display events on modern pages. However, in the back everything is stored on classic SharePoint calendars, with a few extra columns added to build the modern detail page.
For each event created through the web part, you can define an image that although used in the header of the detail page is not visible in the web part itself, making it less immediate for end users to identify and therefore less engaging.
User adoption is fundamental for the success of Intranet projects and you might find yourself thinking about new ways to engage your users with the internal portals.
Useful information for the daily work is fundamental but sometimes is not enough, social content can play a big role on the success of your intranet.
In this article you will find instructions to create a webpart to celebrate work anniversaries with your employees, showing appreciation for their hard work may result in higher user adoption rates.
Profile pictures allow you to easily identify users and on SharePoint there are a couple different ways to get it.
If you are developing SharePoint solutions and need to display profile pictures you can use one of the methods described below.
These methods are target for SharePoint online and they will not work for external users and for accounts without Exchange.
Microsoft continues to repeat the same success formula year after year, revealing the most waited features for SharePoint on Microsoft Ignite and this edition was no exception.
Modern SharePoint is getting mature and with all the new features being released during the next month’s it is finally ready to host the intranets of the future.
Below you will find a resume of everything that caught my eye.
We are only 3 days way of the biggest Microsoft event dedicated to the Tech Community and if you are attending this article is for you.
With so many things going on it can be overwhelming specially for first time attendees. This will be my 4th Ignite and based on my experience from previous years I’ll share with you a few tips and tricks to make it a smooth ride.
