Earlier this week I downloaded and installed the new version of SmartTools for SharePoint 4.0 posted on CodePlex by Jan Tielens.
Its a real treat of awesome feature improvements that are aimed to help the SharePoint developer, administrator and end users. What you get:
- Autocomplete text fields (using AJAX autocomplete),
- Enhanced site actions (adds a set of commonly used menu itemslike list settings and Feature settings)
- Table row highlight using JQuery (nice to highlight when you hover the mouse over a list item,
- A very cool copy and paste event for document libraries,
- and a seriously cool silverlight charting capability for tasks or any lists/library items!
Also today I read its the top 4th most popular SharePoint project download on CodePlex at the moment - so check it out:
Project Site: http://www.codeplex.com/smarttools
Download: http://www.codeplex.com/smarttools/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=22111
It uses the cool SharePoint Solution Installer http://www.codeplex.com/sharepointinstaller to make your installs easy instead of raw STSADM commands.
Remember, you'll still need to active your new SmartTool feature from the Site Collection once deployed.
Big ups to Jan!
