SHAREPOINT 2013 – USING “JS LINK”

SharePoint 2013 has a lot new features and functionalities that it can do OOB.
One of these new functionalities is the "JS Link" web part property. With this property you are able to control the rendering of the web part.

This will mostly be used in combination with List/Data View Web Part. So, no more server side XSLT rendering (XSL Link), just client side JavaScript (JS Link).

Cross Site Content - it's coming in SharePoint 2013

As a lot of programmers who had a problem with cross-site content:how to show data from another site collection,another web application or another farm. All of us can search the internet and find solutions (3rd party, code implementation, etc...). In SharePoint 2013 this problem will be resolved by Cross-Site Publishing. On the official blog of the Microsoft SharePoint Product Group says that the new XSP aggregates a data by the search-based publishing model and a content can be shared across site collections, web apps, and farms. The new concept which introduced in SharePoint 2013 allows to publish lists, libraries, search catalog or variation data. More information is here.

Select custom ribbon tab - jQuery

    I created custom ribbon tab and a button on a page. When  a user press the button on the page, I needed to focus him to the custom ribbon tab. Of course, I used 

_ribbonStartInit("Ribbon.CustomTab", false, null);

but the problem is, after a user changes it to another tab, i.e. "Read" or "Browse" the second pressing doesn't work. Therefore, the solution was - adding SelectRibbonTab() function:

$('img.CustomTabButtonClass').bind('click', function() { 
    
  if (typeof(_ribbonStartInit) == "function")
   {
     try 
     {
       _ribbonStartInit("Ribbon.CustomTab", false, null);
     }
     catch(e)
       {
                  
        }
     SelectRibbonTab("Ribbon.CustomTab", true);
    }
    });
