Bulk upload/install SharePoint solutions

A few days ago I was asked for a way to bulk upload and install multiple SharePoint solutions. In a simple and quick way that wouldn’t require much user interaction/scripting or experience.

With this in mind, I have created a simple PowerShell script using PnP PowerShell that reads information from a CSV. The script starts by uploading and deploying all the apps to the SharePoint app catalog. Once this step is completed, it then connects to the target site to install the solutions.

My session at SharePoint Saturday Madrid

Last Saturday I had the pleasure to speak at SharePoint Saturday Madrid. You can find here all the materials used for the presentation: the presentation slides and the video recording. On the slides, you can find links to the relevant resources and also a link to my GitHub repository that contains a working version of the demo, and also a guide in case you want to recreate the demo yourself.

Unfortunately, we often forget to configure something that then needs to be added during the development phase, which may introduce some issues. I hope you find this article helpful the next time you create a new project.

SharePoint on-prem – easily renew expired certificates

Certificates are my “kryptonite”…hate the pain of going back to an old project and the first thing I have to deal with in the development environment are expired certificates.

SharePoint doesn’t like expired certificates as some features will not work as expected, so you’d better renew the certificates before doing anything else.

How to use Bootstrap with SharePoint

Over the last years, I have seen countless SharePoint projects using Bootstrap. And, unfortunately, some of them had a bad thing in common: a really bad integration with Bootstrap.

TSLint errors on VS Code using SPFx default rules

I like to use the TSLint extension on Visual Studio Code to immediately flag errors. This is very useful as you can see them before you save and wait for a build task to flag them. What I don’t like, is that the TSLint config file (tslint.config) is generated inside the config folder by the SPFx Yeoman generator.

The time has come to create my own blog

After seriously considering the idea multiple times over the last years, I have finally decided to create my own blog. The idea of not having the time to regularly create new content put me off before, but not this time. This time I had to do it, no matter what!
