Starting Workflows for Anonymous Users in SharePoint 2010
 James Yarnell  
Category: SharePoint 2010

​During one of the service packs to SharePoint 2007 the ability to run anonymous workflows was turned off and to the best of my knowledge a good solution to the issue was never found (even for SharePoint 2010). Clients kept asking me for a solution and after searching around with no luck I decided it was time to write a little code.

I Have Moved My Blog to SharePoint Online
 James Yarnell  

​I am a SharePoint guy and a huge Office 365 fan… what was I thinking leaving my blog somewhere else? I apologize if this broke anybody's links but SharePoint Online provides me all of the features I love while using the technology I am usually writing about. I used the blog template for SharePoint with my own flavor of customization.

SharePoint 2010 Global Navigation with the Managed Metadata Service
 James Yarnell  
Category: SharePoint 2010
Recently while working with a client, a requirement for global navigation in their new SharePoint 2010 farm came up. They have approximately 10 web applications with a minimum of 10 site collections per web application, so manually maintaining the navigation at each site collection was out of the question. I therefore started to look at the usual suspects for global nav.

Office 365 Public Site - How to insert JQuery or other HTML directly into the page
 James Yarnell  
Category: Office 365

​On the surface the HTML web part available on the public facing website appears to be a Swiss army knife for the site. If you can insert any HTML into the page then you can do just about anything. But… on closer examination you find that the HTML you insert into the part is placed in an Iframe and all script and content is loaded with the setTimeout JavaScript function. Currently it does appear that the base theme CSS is inserted into the Iframe but any custom CSS is not being applied. This is easily worked around if you either copy and paste your same CSS or use the same import statement I discussed in my previous post.

Office 365 Here I Come
 James Yarnell  
Category: Office 365

​Well in my last post I promised to write more about the changes I have made to www.bajaconsulting.com but before I could I got accepted into the Office 365 Beta program (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/online-software.aspx) which of course includes a small business public web site based on SharePoint 2010.  I could not have been happier and jump right in to make the same changes I had just made to my new static site on the SharePoint site plus add some cool new stuff that only SharePoint 2010 could supply.

Why write custom web parts or XSLT when you have JQuery?
 James Yarnell  

​As I have started migrating my old web sites over to SharePoint 2010 I have been evaluating customizations that I made for my MOSS 2007 sites. On many occasions I had used the dataview web part to do thing like opening external links in new windows and hiding headers that are not needed. In comes JQuery and the content viewer web part.
