Editor's Notes
- #3: 2007 -> MCTS WSS 2010 -> MCTS 2010 2013 -> MCSD SP
- #4: Get crowd information: Developers? Online or On-Prem? 2013? Power-Users?
- #5: Intelink Environment - All Gov to Collaborate You get what you get and you don’t complain Environments -> Not O365 Everyone is talking about O365 solutions and tools. No love for the On-Prem folks in 2013 VSCode -> Thank You Very Much
- #6: What CAN we do currently?
- #7: What’s Left… Use OTB when possible, but what to do when OTB just doesn’t cut it? Thank You Modern Web Tools
- #8: What’s Left… Use OTB when possible, but what to do when OTB just doesn’t cut it? Thank You Modern Web Tools
- #9: What’s Left… Use OTB when possible, but what to do when OTB just doesn’t cut it? Thank You Modern Web Tools
- #10: What’s Left… Use OTB when possible, but what to do when OTB just doesn’t cut it? Thank You Modern Web Tools
- #11: What’s Left… Use OTB when possible, but what to do when OTB just doesn’t cut it? Thank You Modern Web Tools
- #12: What can we do?
- #13: Custom Action Solutions (Powerful) Customize Ribbon Customize Site Actions Menu Reference a JavaScript File Inject a Script Block
- #14: Custom Actions Upgrade To SPFx
- #15: Concept: A script editor webpart w/ the content filled out to reference our library and solution. (Example – Single Page Application) This sounds too complicated to do. How do we simplify all of this?
- #16: What is this? A lot of github libraries What is the Goal? Provide an easy way to develop client-side solutions in SharePoint 2013+ environments, with an upgrade path to SPFx. Bootstrap library does have Stencil-JS web-components included. The documentation uses web-components for the online examples.
- #17: Doesn’t bootstrap mess with other styling on the page? Targets the “bs” element, so it doesn’t mess w/ the DOM. Reference the documentation. Add issues if you have questions or need help.
- #19: Recommend path for solutions: Keep it in classic mode See what solutions can be converted to new OTB modern tools Redesign the solution, now that restrictions are hopefully lifted Convert solution to SPFx
