Understanding Partial Execution: Part One – Refresh

This is another post based upon learning from the sessions I’ve been doing at LUGs this year. Partial Execution is extremely powerful, probably rarely used, but thanks to Tony McGuckin and Dan O’Connor has been made much easier to use in IBM Domino Social Edition. But before I even discuss Partial Execution, it’s critical to […]

Understanding XPages Error Codes

During this year I’ve done a session looking under the hood of XPages and explaining what actually happens. I firmly believe (and the evaluations and feedback suggests I’m not wrong) that when you understand what’s happening, it builds confidence. The starter for the session was XPages and error codes – a gentle introduction, but still […]

Extension Library Value Picker and extlib.dijit.PickerListSearch

Over the last few weeks I’ve been communicating with Paul Hannan about the Value Picker and different behaviour if extlib.dijit.PickerListSearch. With the Value Picker control, you have a number of options. The options can be provided from a list of hard-coded or computed values using the simpleValuePicker dataProvider. They can be provided from a view […]

Full Text Search Musings

For a recent project I was involved in building some rather open-ended reporting functionality. Although my preference is to identify clear requirements to develop a targeted solution and avoid over-engineering, in this case it was not possible. One of the huge strengths of Domino is full text searching. In the post-8.5.3 world there is even […]

NotesIn9, IBM Connect and IBM Champion – A Busy Week And More To Come

It’s been a busy week. Last Thursday I had a mixture of good and bad news. Two abstracts I was hopeful about we’re rejected for IBM Connect, but a third was accepted. I’ll be presenting with Mike McGarel – not the first time I’ve presented with someone who works for Czarnowski, but this time there […]

Inspecting Dojo on 8.5.3

As I blogged when 8.5.3 went live, Dojo is now packaged as 1.5.1 as physical files on the server for iNotes and 1.6.1 in a plugin. So how do you inspect what’s provided in the plugin? That was the focus on one of the comments on the post I made. Well, Nathan Freeman and Serdar […]

Rich Text Lite Thumbnails: Check Your Notes Version and How To Get A PMR Fixed

In a recent Notes Client development I had the need to programmatically detach images inserted into a Notes Document. The images also needed to be visible in the Notes Client rather than added as attachments. But an image pasted into a Rich Text field is not accessible via NotesRichTextItem.EmbeddedObjects. There was also the challenge that […]

Views Productivity Tip – Take Ctrl

Sometimes a document doesn’t appear where you expect it to in a particular view. Tracking it down can be a laborious task. But it doesn’t have to be. There is a little tip that’s not as widely known as it should be. It’s nothing new, certainly dating back to R6 and probably even back to […]

Managing Tasks and ToDos in XPages

Earlier this week I was running a technical enablement session on XPages for IBM. One of the first steps was to configure Domino Designer. I’ve championed before some of the benefits that Eclipse brought to Domino Designer, such as the search and local history (which has been my saviour on many an occasion!). But one I only […]

Why To Be Careful When Copying Views

We’ve all done it. We want to create a new view, but we don’t want to create it from scratch. We have one similar. So we copy and paste and modify it. It’s quick, it’s easy, it works. Most of the time. Sometimes it comes back to bite you because of seemingly innocent column settings. […]
