Most of the time we are having problems with Getting relative site collection URL in client side Getting relative Layout URL in client side Getting web site URL in client side when we are developing SharePoint applications. (for an example Creating a custom master page and providing links to content inside the SharePoint). If we are working with SharePoint  Standard or Enterprise we can  use < link rel= "stylesheet" type= "text/css" runat= "server" href= "<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style%20Library/mystyle.css %>" /> But to work with SPUrl you need the control to be server control ( runat = server ). Other Possible Url tokens are ~site/ ~sitecollection/    ~language there are few other undocumented Tokens as well . Other than that you can use _spPageContextInfo JavaScript Objet in all SharePoint versions. <script type= "text/javascript" > function goToLink(link) { location.href = _spPageContextInfo.web...

I have tried many different ways to properly organized JavaScript in my Developments. When I'm developing I have faced following issues. Each and every place we need to include script files IF one place change we need to change all the pages for references Assume we need to update JQuery  version then we need to change all pages which refers scripts. Thus i thought to work on my pattern with the help of JavaScript Loader to overcome this situation. I have used Head.js to dynamically load JavaScript's. There are few other JavaScript loaders such as RequireJS Head.js ControlJS LABjs I have chosen Head.js because of performance and simplicity you can develop this pattern to work with any JavaScript loader. Head.js supports other css declaration and media queries as well. This pattern can be extended support css loading as well. This is very simple pattern.

You can install it using Web Platform Installer You can find complete guide here ( Prabath’s Blog ).   select the options that you need to run the workflow Manual Item Created Item Changed As a sample WF I’m going to get the “ Age” Column in the item and Write it to log and update a column using a message. Since we need to look the Age Column, i added the LookUpSPListItem to the sequence.  In the LookUpSPListItem you need to set properties to currentitem and currentlist as well as valuable you need to retrieve properties (You can change these on right side property window). Then by clicking get properties VS generates a GetDynamicValueProperties action. In there you need to select the variable as the Source and specify properties you need to retrieve.   Then drag and drop a WriteToHistory Action to the sequence. here you can go to properties and specify the message you need to log to his...
