Sharepoint is not my most favorite environment to program in but I figure I’d share a cool javascript app I put together that communicates with Sharepoint’s SOAP API to add on to\u00a0custom ‘like’ buttons (just like facebook!) With this feature, users can ‘like’ sharepoint items without going through the crazy sharepoint interface. This javascript can be added to a web interface, and users can ‘like’ items from there!<\/p>\n

\"None<\/a>
None of this garbage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wrote some javascript\/jquery code that can easily retrieve the number of \u2018likes\u2019 for a sharepoint list item or list. The script basically queries Sharepoint\u2019s built in social services for the tag count with SOAP POST calls.<\/p>\n

Get Like Count<\/h3>\n

Here is the script to get ‘like’ count:<\/strong><\/p>\n
