Create SharePoint fields, views & pages from XML schema file programmatically

Let’s imagine that we have existing WSP solution for one of our projects. We want to update one of web template with additional pages. On this pages we have list view web parts with specific newly added list views. We have to update our list with this additional list views and we have to add some additional fields too.

In WSP solution we already have module file for publishing custom pages to SharePoint Pages library, fields definition file for publishing list fields and list schema for our list and views definition. All this features are automatically deployed to newly created sites within custom web template.

This WSP solution is already deployed to SharePoint farm and we have sites already created with this web template. We know that in our case we have no problem with new pages created from updated web template. The problem arises when we update our SharePoint farm with solution where we have updated pages module, list fields and list schema and we want to apply this changes to existing sites which are created from our custom web template before that.

Better Trainer

From the middle of November I was a bit more busy with projects @ work so in that time I simply have no time to write any new post, but I have learned a lot, so now I have a lot more material in my head for my blog 🙂

In that months me and my coworker and MVP for any kind of tables – Gašper Kamenšek @ExcelUnplugged – prepared something special for Thrive conference #ThriveConf @ Rimske Terme in November.

Topic of our session talks about how to become better trainer. The idea was to use face detection with emotional scores to see how visitors react and feel in session time. Because feeling is in a correlation with spoken words we use speach recognition. We can connect emotions from faces and words from speach within specific time interval -> so we need to add timestamp to both information. We use Bing Speech API for English language recognition and Google Speech API for Slovenian language recognition.

Because we get from speech recognition API complete sentence, we want to remove some unnecessary words like is, an, the, you etc from it. I use Standford Parser for that purpose – natural language parser that works out the grammatical structure of sentence.

In the end all go to Gašper Kamenšek’s part of project -> to Power BI for visualization and Azure Machine Learning (AML) for powerful analytics of correlation between women and man responses in hapiness for specific words. But that post include just my part of project which is coding (WPF application). Continue reading “Better Trainer” →

SharePoint Online and Microsoft Flow with custom action code in Azure Functions

Let’s start today with new way of building workflows from Microsoft – Microsoft Flow.
Because many of companies use SharePoint as first and best choice for internal portal platform I want to connect Microsoft Flow with it.

Microsoft Flow is like a wizard and you can create a lot of standard business flows with just few clicks and settings. But because we are developers, we want to create something more – we want to add to our flow some custom action, created by Azure Functions.

Speech Recognition (Microsoft Bing Speech API vs. Google Cloud Speech API)

For some reason I want to find out, where I can find better speech recognition service – on Microsoft side with Bing Speech API or on Google side with Google Cloud Speech API.

First and most important thing for my region is that Bing Speech API does not support Slovenian language while Google Cloud Speech API does. So we can go Slovenian only by Google.

You could find both examples, Bing or Google way, on my GitHub repository. Continue reading “Speech Recognition (Microsoft Bing Speech API vs. Google Cloud Speech API)” →
