For those who didn’t notice, the Interim Fix for 9.0.1 FP2 released overnight also included the fix for iOS 8. Not surprisingly, because of the impact of changes to the Dojo code, this fix is only in 9.0.1 FP2, not in the Interim Fix Packs released for older Domino versions – they focus solely on […]

For some time the OpenNTF Domino API has included Tinkerpop and an implementation to store content in a graph database structure. Recently I’ve been digging into that further for potential projects, prompted also by a redevelopment of that area of the OpenNTF Domino API and Nathan’s upcoming session at DanNotes. Graph databases are a common […]

On Friday I blogged about how you can’t include Expression Language in Client-Side JavaScript for an eventHandler. (Because of problems with the blog that prevented comments, I had to re-post it.) The other benefit of blogging is that someone can usually give you some more information that makes everything drop into place. Toby Samples tweeted […]

I have an unwritten rule that if I learn something and I think I’ll hit the same problem again, I try to blog about it; if I hit it again and I can’t find it on my blog, I definitely blog about it. Yesterday I encountered the latter, so today I’m blogging about it. As […]

A couple of weeks ago Jesse Gallagher posted a blog about getting the JSF faces-config visual editor working in Domino Designer. I followed up with how to enable the same functionality in Eclipse by setting up a faceted project. It turned out that had some knock-on implications to the NSF, which you can work around […]

I’ve seen a number of questions recently on StackOverflow related to extending the functionality of the View Panel. Firstly, a bit of editorial. I am not a big fan of the View Panel. The XPages course I went on covered repeat controls on the second morning and every XPages developer should have covered repeat controls […]

Yesterday, Jesse Gallagher wrote a great blog post on using an older version of the Web Tools Platform plugins in Domino Designer to get a better editor for faces-config files. For over a year now, I’ve moved beyond Domino Designer for chunks of my day job – SourceTree for source control, Perforce P4 Merge for […]

At ICON UK I delivered two sessions, one on OpenNTF Domino API and one, with John Cooper, on development OSGi plugins. Both sessions were well attended and jam-packed with content. In addition, as platinum sponsors, it was a busy time for all of us at Intec. It was great to catch up with old friends […]

For someone contributing and using OpenNTF content, for many years Bruce Elgort and Niklas Heidloff were the most visible face of OpenNTF. They presented OpenNTF’s session at Lotusphere and subsequently IBM Connect, so to that extent they have been very public faces. Bruce stepped down last year and this year Niklas Heidloff has also confirmed […]
