As I mentioned on This Week in Lotus last week, I’ve been working on a submission to OpenNTF. In fact I’ve had it pretty much ready to go for months now, I just never got round to submitting it and the topic of OpenNTF on This Week in Lotus gave me the opportunity I needed to […]

This week I was invited to take part in This Week in Lotus, the main topic for which was the XPages Extension Library and OpenNTF. I would strongly recommend any XPages developer to listen to the podcast, it’s one of the resources I use rigorously to keep me up to date on all things Lotus

Those who have followed my blog will be aware that I posted an article earlier this year about extending the Rich Text Editor. That showed that the Rich Text Editor used an extension of a dojo class, ibm.domino.widget.layout.DominoRichText, and could be extended by defining various dojoAttributes, for example fontName as Arial, extraPlugins as [“createLink”,”|”] to

Over the last month or so, on and off, I’ve been reading about JSF to get background on XPages and continue building up my knowledge. It’s certainly useful and I can see me needing to use managed beans in the future to store and handle data. But one of the areas it’s already helped with

On Thursday and Friday I, along with a number of others, attended NLLUG. It was a fabulous venue, the Amsterdam ArenA, home of Ajax. The two days were filled with a number of excellent sessions on four different tracks from high calibre speakers. I’m sure that all attendees, myself included, learned something and probably lots. It

Some time ago I produced a video, on Intec’s channel on youtube, showing how to use an XPage to create a live-text enabled widget. The beauty of this technique is it works in any 8.x Notes Client, it just needs a Domino 8.5.x server. I’m currently using the same technique to create a reporting sidebar panel for

With today’s announcement of a release date for Domino 8.5.2, it seems the right time to review some of the features I’ve come to like in the closed beta. Some of them are just usability enhancements, others are functionality enhancements, and many are XPages enhancements. Before continuing, I must include the caveat that this article

This follows on from two previous articles where I outlined what became evident from the oneui themes, ways to reference server-based resources from XPages. Those articles (Part One and Part Two) concentrated on images, the most useful resource. Like many developers, at Intec we have a suite of databases with resources (some images, css files,

When I first started on XPages last year, one of the big benefits was that virtually anything can be computed. When you do so, you get the option to use three languages: Expression Language (EL), Server Side Javascript (SSJS) or Custom. I immediately started using Server Side Javascript, but the others were a bit of a mystery. If
