If your solution has two or more languages to support, I can recommend an open source tool ResxCrunch. Btw, you can even use ResxCrunch for localization of Android applications.

To run powershell remotely is really easy. First enable it on the machine which will receive the remote commands: Enable-PSRemoting Then go to another machine and connect to your host: $cred = Get-Credential Enter-PSSession -Computername dev -Credential $cred If you want to know more about powershell remoting, I recommend “A layman’s guide…”. See even a detailed example on poshcode.

To use only SPUser objects isn’t always sufficient. To get other properties we have to retrieve user profiles. Giles Hamson gives an example how to get and how to update user profile properties with powershell. Here is an example how to get all work phones: $url = "http://intranet/" $site = Get-SPSite $url $context = Get-SPServiceContext $site $profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context) $profiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator() while ($profiles.MoveNext()) { $userProfile = $profiles.Current $name = $userProfile.

If you have used Issue tracking list template in SharePoint you must have marked that the comments are added and marked with author name and datetime. It is handy to have these micro “discussion boards” on items. The comment-formed communication can help to fine-tune task definitions. By the way, have you seen Trello? So the question is how we can create this column in other lists? Here is a little tutorial how to create “append-only comments”, as they are called:

In javascript, if we copy objects or their properties, the reference still remains and by changing the new object the old one is changed, too. To clone or do a clean copy of an object I found a very useful solution by Jan Turoň on StackOverflow: Object.prototype.clone = function() { if(this.cloneNode) return this.cloneNode(true); var copy = this instanceof Array ? \[\] : {}; for(var attr in this) { if(typeof this\[attr\] == "function" || this\[attr\]==null || !

If you want to reset all interval jobs when a browser tab is inactive, the best way would be to use clearInterval on window blur. But unfortunately Chrome fires window focus and window blur two times. Here is an embryo to a solution: var M = window.M || {}; M.counter = 0; M.focused = true; M.tick = function() { if (M.focused) { console.log("tic tac " + ++M.counter); } }; M.start = function(e) { console.

jQuery(document).ready is used very often, why not use the shorthand variant of that? $(function() { // Code here });

Just look at moment.js. Everybody who have worked with dates in javascript are going to love it. Comments from Wordpress.com Justin Cooney - Mar 3, 2012 Interesting, I hadn’t heard of moment.js. I’m taking a look at the site right now; it looks to have some very handy functionality for date manipulation! The great thing with moment.js is e.g. that one can create a date object from asp.net date format like /Date(123543534)/

An alternative to jQuery UI datepicker is Kalendae. (MIT License). Highly customizable and no dependencies to other javascript libraries. Here is the highlights: Kalendae is an attempt to do something that nobody has yet been able to do: make a date picker that doesn’t suck. Kalendae provides the following features: Fully portable, no dependencies. No jQuery, no Prototype, no MooTools; just add the script and the stylesheet and you’re good to go.

Placeholders are very handy in html5, we don’t need to fool with input values. But in SharePoint and IE we must provide fallback for placeholders if we want use them in other browsers. Here is an jQuery extension to do that: (function ($) { $.fn.extend({ ensurePlaceholders: function () { var input = document.createElement('input'); var placeholderSupported = ('placeholder' in input); if (placeholderSupported) { return; } function setHints(elem) { var $elem = $(elem); var value = $elem.
