There's a small snippet to check if current user permissions are enough to save list items. It can be used in SPFX webparts with PNP JS.

When you work with common modern React application (React > 16) and webpack, it's easy to create .env files and use them in the project. But if you work SPFX solution, which uses GULP, it's a big mess. That's why I decided to describe the sequence of steps how to use different environments in SPFX solutions.

There are a lot of cases when you need to get the items by the author. For me the only correct way to get the SharePoint list items by user with CAML is like this:

<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Author' LookupId='TRUE' /><Value Type='Integer'>123</Value></Eq></Where>

You can delete timer job only with PowerShell. Why? I guess you know why 🙂 The most popular reason is the duplicating of timer jobs. To delete a timer job, you need to know the ID. And you can get it also with PowerShell or with GUI.

In a recent project, I needed to create a SharePoint list and add an index to it, triggered by the addition of a web part to a page. The goal was to fully automate the process using the SharePoint REST API, eliminating the need for any manual intervention by administrators. Here's how I achieved this.

Its's more and more complicated to find information about SharePoint. I don't really know why it's so. That's why I often write down the references and examples. Today I tried to remember how to create a SharePoint list with PNPJS and there's a parameter which template you will use.

Below you can find a PowerShell script to copy items from one SharePoint list at one site to another SharePoint list in another site. I use it with several modifications to work with the data in test environments.

When I executed Update-SPSolution command in PowerShell  to update  one of WSP-solutions, I got the error, that 'LOG_BACKUP' is full "Update-SPSolution : Das Transaktionsprotokoll für die 'SP19_Config'-Datenbank ist aufgrund von 'LOG_BACKUP' voll". In English versions of SharePoint the text of the error can be like this "The transaction log for database ‘SP19_Config’ is full due to LOG_BACKUP".

I had a SharePoint online list and I added a new column into it. And then I wanted to work with a data, which is close to be real. So I needed to generate the data and insert it into the list. For the tasks like this I like to use division by module to create semi-random data.

How to store credentials? It’s always a question because nobody wants to demonstrate the passwords, neither for the databases, nor for web services or anything else. SharePoint has a built-in tool to store a sensitive data – technical user accounts, databases or any data like this.  Here is how to create variables in the secure store.
