The much anticipated Opening General Session from Lotusphere 2010 did not disappoint. In a massive auditorium that was full to bursting, the event kicked off with two very cool rock violinists being joined on stage by two excellent drummers. The high energy music was a very fitting precursor to a set of announcements that will […]

Lotusphere 2010 got underway today with Business Development Day exclusively focussed on Business Partners, whose numbers, encouragingly, are up on last year. The opening session started with Bob Picciano handing over the reigns to Alistair Rennie as Lotus General Manager. Alistair wasted no time in issuing what might prove to be the quote of the week – “Lotus

Awake at a ridiculous hour this morning despite wandering around a showery Downtown Disney until quite a creditable time last night – well. ok 10.30 – but I was quite impressed after a transatlantic flight !

At Intec we have a number of applications that have included charts for some time, whether for dashboards or other reporting. At the time the we used haneng charts (http://www.hanengcharts.com/), because we didn’t have the expertise in house to develop anything as good or better. The product provided what we needed and still does. But

Over the last week I have been doing some investigation on dojox charting, building on the XPages tutorial samples of Chris Connor and the pure dojo tutorials of Doug McMaster and Eugene Latzukin on SitePen, the basis for parts of the article on dojocampus. Despite their work, I suffered a number of frustrations trying to produce the

It’s funny how you rarely use some bits of script, and then within a week find you need them more than once. An example of this I’ve just had is the NotesViewNavigator class. The only previous occasion I used the class was for dashboard reporting some time ago, because I wanted the entries in the same order as

Earlier this month I posted an article about multi-value field problems. The good news is it’s been SPR’d – reference EGLN7YMLYD. However, while looking into a fellow developer’s problems on this area, my mind wandered back to the XPages templates that have been developed by IBM, specifically the Discussion Template. Surely Tags (WebCategories field) is

A couple of weeks ago I posted on my blog an Audit Comments Custom Control for XPages, which launches a dijit dialog for audit comments when editing a document, and passes the value of the field back to the underlying DominoDocument data element. This simulated finctionality I had previously used in the Notes client for logging
