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.

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>

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.

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.

While writing the script to create lists for my solution for SharePoint Online I had to rename Title field in a list. It's not so obviously as just to create a new field.

I used EventCalendar component with resources and timeline view, the default interval is 1 month, I also add week numbers to the header. I wanted to fit the calendar to the page without horizontal scroll.

Many times I told myself not to work with SharePoint, but it's forever with me 🙂
My colleague asked to help him with a problem with modern lists. There some simple fields, without lookups. But there's an error in displaying items. I spent about an hour to determine the problem - created a copy of the list, removed all items, added items with only 1 filled field. It worked in classic view, but not in modern.

The method to expand all the events in Calendar View on load using Content Editor WebPart. You should add this code. You should copy and paste it to html file, save this file to document library and set its path into the settings of CEWP.

With SharePoint 2010 you can disable usage of modal windows in List settings. But if you use calendar view, it does not matter what you have installed in the settings – all the list forms will be opened in modal windows. How to disable them?

This post is about SharePoint web services. In SharePoint 2010 you can use only SOAP requests to get or to send data from or to SharePoint web sites. A bit below in this post you can see the list of WSDL URL addresses.
