Is there any way to access user activity properties programmatically?

2013-May-15 at 11:17 am · Filed under Lotus Notes ·Tagged ,

I was asked to create some reports on the activities on a set of applications. I wonder if you can access the user activity properties on a database programmatic-ally?

jQuery Mobile 1.3 Panel Widget XPages demo (for download)

2013-March-28 at 1:29 pm · Filed under Lotus Notes, Mobile, Prototype, Sandbox, XPages ·Tagged , , , , ,

The last couple of days I have been ‘playing’ with jQuery Mobile and mostly with the panel widget.

I have made some kind of starter-kit (NSF) to build a great XPages app for tablets/smartphones. I have setup a subset of custom controls which accept properties. A simple form in Notes you can use to setup navigation for header, footer and a vertical menu.

You can download the (zipped) NSF on Dropbox.

Below you can see a sample result:

Please let me know if you experience any problems or if you have suggestions for improvement. Happy coding!

Creating a gallery for the IBM Domino Blog Template – Assistance needed

2013-March-5 at 2:23 pm · Filed under IBM, Lotus Notes, OpenNTF

Hi,

I found online an old description how to enable image galleries for your/the IBM Domino Blog Template (Not sure if we may label it IBM any longer since they have open sourced it so the ‘community’ may solve issues (I am told).

The description you can find <here>.

Unfortunately the description does not work for me. Are there others who set up successfully image galleries in the Blog template and are willing to share their solutions/approach?

Question after Lotusphere – Notes Social Edition

2012-January-25 at 10:27 am · Filed under Lotus Notes ·Tagged , ,

Yesterday I read a list of reviews of Lotusphere 2012. Especially around the next version of Notes, Notes Social Edition (hopefully will become nicknamed Notes Social Addiction) I have some questions. Maybe you can provide me more details?

From Alan Lepofsky’s blogpost:

The next version of Lotus Notes, named Social Edition will include a new Home Page featuring the same activity stream that is available to Connections users on the web. This new feature will require an IBM Connection server, but the pricing and licensing for that has not yet been announced. 

From David F. Carr’s review for InformationWeek:

Organizations that take advantage of both Notes and Connections will be offered an upgrade to Notes Social Edition, which makes social content including the OpenSocial application embedding capability, available within the Notes environment.

Odd that Ed Brill does not mention this in his description of Notes Social Edition.

Can someone explain how the deal for Notes Social Edition will be?

Registering dependencies in Lotus Notes applications

2011-December-14 at 3:04 pm · Filed under Lotus Notes

Domino Designer gives you a nice overview of all plugin dependencies in your application. But regarding other dependencies (e.g. data sources from other notes applications or from other systems) there is no automatic generation of an overview.

Question:

How and which dependencies in your Notes applications do you register? Do you generate the overview manually or is there a tool you use for this?

Notes Trivia: What does ‘column contains a name’ mean?

2011-September-28 at 3:46 pm · Filed under Lotus Notes ·Tagged ,

You can enable a column for instant messaging (link). But what does the attribute ‘column contains a name’ mean exactly?

It seems I can enable IM by just selecting the second option (Show online status)…

I was surfing on Slideshare when I found the following Technical Sales mastery test example. Here a sample question:

2. What is XPages?
A. A runtime designed to generate modern Web applications
B. A page with eXtra code for advanced end-user functionality
C. A way to present COBOL data inside of a Notes application
D. A runtime designed by Professor Charles Xavier
Maybe technical sales is something for you?

VIIA – Very important import agent

2011-August-29 at 12:39 pm · Filed under Lotus Notes

Today I received a request from a customer for an addition in a Notes template we offer as a ‘standardized solution’. The customer asks for an agent to import documents from another Notes database into a databases that uses this ‘standard template’.

A great compliment for our developers since our template seems to be competitive with another solution!

Since the number of databases that contain documents that must migrate is not so large I feel little to grant this request but I am interested in a more ‘universal approach’ for an import function. A function where a database administrator himself can define the field-mapping and run the import task.

Question: Are you aware of such a function somewhere freely available?

I am thinking about a limited set of design elements I can add to the template and make available under an administrative panel.

Thanks in advance!
