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 ! The flight had over 250 empty seats, so it was quite a coincidence that I ended up sitting next […]

Two firsts in one day. My first blog on the way to my first Lotusphere. As a director of Intec I have been aware of Lotusphere for nearly 10 years, and the first time we sent a delegate was about 7 years ago. Historically, we have tended to send Technicians or Developers who have come

In Part One I covered the generic code elements required on the XPage before we get as far as creating the data for the chart and the chart itself. Now we get into the interesting stuff. Creating a Series The first part of the chart is the series. What I’m looking to produce is an array

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

I was recently working on an XPage, changing a number of things at the same time, and could not manage to get one of my fields with typeahead to work. It did not throw an error to the browser, the XPage code had compiled without error. When I looked at the Notes Log I found

As part of a current XPages project we had the need to capture comments from the user when they edit certain documents. Similar functionality was developed for a Notes Client application before I joined Intec, using a dialog box in the PostOpen / QueryModeChange event to force the user to enter comments. My intention, therefore,
