Any good websites for Info Path and SharePoint

N2IT

Looking at building a incident management system and in order to create the forms it seems like Info Path is the best way to achieve this.

Have you looked at Microsofts free application templates for sharepoint?

N2IT

Did some reviews and found a nice site with a bunch of different templates. Very nice thanks

Want to give you the heads up that InfoPath is being deprecated so may not be the best route for a long term solution and if support resources will be needed. Alot of forms are now being written using Javascript.

Thanks for the heads up X

The things you can do in HTML5/JavaScript right now are pretty awesome. I will post some pics of work I have done with SP2010 in this area. You would be amazed how easy it is once you learn the basics.

Sounds great Robert. Thanks for taking time to show me. I really do appreciate it!

Here you go, you can click for zoom: SharePoint 2010 and HTML5/JavaScript - Imgur

Just keep in mind that this is a specialized app, so users are expected to have a high degree of training on what it is, how it works, and the process it models. Including the custom event receivers and workflows this took us a little more than two weeks to build. If you add in the process mapping/requirements gathering, it was much longer.

The schedule view is just plugged right into a task list. It's still a little buggy, but works for what it is intended for (mostly read-only reporting)

The data grid is actually a mashup of 4 different lists that have the same content type. We did this to ensure that we would not have problems with permissions.

Comments are linked to a comment list that uses an event receiver to send email when new comments are added. You might have noticed on the data grid that there were items with red stars. Those are what we call the "nosey list". It's a subscription that allows you to receive email notices of changes in status, approval, and comments.

Creating a simple HTML/JavaScript form using some of these controls would be really easy. But the learning curve is what will get you...

We built this using the built-in SharePoint 2010 ListData.svc REST service, JavaScript Client Object Model, Kendo UI/jQuery, and Moment.js

N2IT - not to totally hijack the thread, but you might also want to take a look at the Drupal Distributions: https://drupal.org/project/distributions

There are a lot of specialized Drupal instances you can grab that might cut down on a lot of your development time...
