I've just completed development of new release of the XPages Help Application. There are a number of enhancements and modifications, including some refactoring of the Java code based on the learning I've gained over the last six months. The most significant enhancement is a mobile interface, accessible via the m_Content.xsp XPage. You can see some teasers of the functionality in the screenshots attached, showing the iPad interface. You'll see that it reproduces all the read-only functionality of the web application - Contents, Index, Search and Bookmarks views as well as the ability to add to and remove from bookmarks. Editability of ...
I'm currently in the process of developing a mobile interface for viewing articles in the XPages Help Application. One of the significant differences is the navigation model. The initial page has links to the relevant views of the data - Contents, Index, Search (if the database is full text indexed) and Bookmarks (for authenticated users).

Show all Help pages on one page, differentiating entries at a different level ...
Over the weekend I uploaded a new release of the XPages Help Application to OpenNTF (now available under the short URL http://xhelp.openntf.org. As well as a few minor changes, the main enhancement was a change to use the dijit.Tree Dojo widget for all navigation throughout the application. This may seem a relatively small piece of work, but actually required a significant change to the Java classes within the application, as well as the custom controls and XPages comprising the application. The dijit.Tree widget uses a Dojo REST store containing JSON content which is then translated into a hierarchical tree navigation. So ...
Over the last week or so I've been making some major enhancements to the XPages Help Application I provided on OpenNTF earlier this year, now available at the shortened URL http://xhelp.openntf.org. The main areas have been adding dijit.Tree support for the navigation, but also fixing an issue that meant images didn't appear when viewed in Notes Client. I had a couple of queries - one about how to reference server-based images for XPages in Notes Client and the other about the correct syntax for dijit.showTooltip(). Both times I resorted to Google. The first answer I found in responses to a blog ...
