Create A Weather Web Part for SharePoint

UPDATE: June 2, 2011 I made some adjustments to the XSLT. If you've had problems getting this to work previously, you might want to try it again. I wanted to add weather information to a SharePoint site (a "My Site" to be exact), but I wanted something relatively simple. Using the Page Viewer or Content Editor web parts was not really giving me what I wanted since that involved including snippets of markup and javascript which might also require signing up for the privilege. I also wasn't keen on including all of their branding. Just tell me what I'm missing outside when I'm stuck inside. So I did some messing around with the RSS Viewer web part and got something working. I then found that the RSS Viewer has a 30-minute cache restriction that cannot be changed. I don't want to know how warm it was 29 minutes ago, I want to be able to refresh and know what the temperature is now. So I switched to the XML web part which is what I should have used t

My SharePoint Workflow History Is History!

The other day I had a customer get in touch with me who is using a SharePoint document library with a basic, out-of-the-box approval workflow. The problem that they were having was that the approval status column was not displaying anything where previously it had displayed "Approved" with a handy link to the Workflow Status page. A page that shows a reasonably formatted Workflow History that they were using as proof for auditing purposes. I'm not going to get into the discussion regarding whether or not this is appropriate or whether SharePoint auditing is the right answer. If you are interesting in a snapshot of that discussion, it has been pretty well covered here . The reality is that we make these tools available to our customers and they use them (if we're lucky). I needed to figure out what was happening and what our options for resolving things for them were. The issue stems from the "Workflow Auto Cleanup job" that is scheduled to run for each

Yellowgold's Ever One Review

When I heard that Jason Howell had established a Kickstarter campaign to back the release of his second album, I backed it immediately. Why would I do that? Because I like to support "The Arts", Jason seems like a genuinely nice person (as much as one can tell through podcasts, social media and a 1-minute Skype conversation last year) and having heard some of his previous work, I knew this would not be a waste of money. I honestly wasn't expecting this album to be as good as it was. My apologies if that seems like a backhanded compliment, but I've supported musicians in the past, listened to a CD once or twice and then kind of forgot about them. This is not that kind of release. What can you expect? Cross Jack Johnson with Ozzy Osbourne and you've pretty much got it. So if eating banana pancakes while riding a crazy train isn't your thing, I just don't know what to tell you. My wife who "doesn't like music" liked this. Make of that
