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

1 Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 22nd November 2012 / 2 minutes of reading

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

1 Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 8th November 2012 / 1 minute of reading

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

1 Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 16th October 2012 / 1 minute of reading

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.

Test Your Regular Expressions In Domino Designer

12 Comments / Blog / By Paul Withers / 28th September 2012 / 2 minutes of reading

Fredrik Norling blogged yesterday about using Regular Expressions to validate in XPages (but also traditional Domino web development). There is one option for validating using regular expressions that Fredrik didn’t mention, and it’s well worth covering. Because although you can find a lot of regular expressions on the web, writing your own or modifying regular

VariableResolvers: Handle With Care

Leave a Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 21st September 2012 / 2 minutes of reading

I’ve blogged before about VariableResolvers and the more I dig into them, the more powerful they are. Performance-wise, I’ve already blogged they’re as rapid as you can get, the perfect place for regularly-accessed bits of code. Anyone at UKLUG will have seen that I extended that particular performance table to show that a VariableResolver in

When a Dev Screws Up An Install, Don't Get Nasty, Get NICE

Leave a Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 18th September 2012 / 1 minute of reading

Yesterday I totally screwed up my Notes install. Bottom line, it thought it was a multi-user install and no matter what I did, I couldn’t install the full client. There was a very simple cause. The usual one. I didn’t RTFM! We’ve all done it. (Please, just agree to make me feel less stupid.) I

The Power of Eclipse: Domino Designer Search

If you’ve been developing Domino applications for any length of time, you will be aware of the Design Synopsis. Mainly you’ll be aware of it as a major selling point for third-party tools like those of TeamStudio or Ytria. If you’re new to Domino development with XPages, you’re not missing anything. With Notes 8.5 we

UKLUG: Digging Into The Dark Side

3 Comments / Blog / By Paul Withers / 5th September 2012 / 2 minutes of reading

Cardiff was the venue for UKLUG this year, two days of all yellow goodness (in every sense!). For the third time I delivered a session digging under the covers of XPages to try to give developers one or more eureka moments. At BLUG I presented on my own but couldn’t fit everything into an hour.

iNotes List View, iNotes Calendar View – Accessing The Object

Leave a Comment / Blog / By Paul Withers / 25th August 2012 / 3 minutes of reading

Earlier today Julian Buss asked in a blog post about how to get the unid of a selected document in the iNotes List View. Even though I wrote that chapter in the Extension Library book, I was a little baffled myself. Even after I re-read what I’d written, I struggled to work out where I
