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.

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

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,

For a while now one of the items on my wish-list of functionality to add to XPages has been the facility for the user to change the theme of an XPages application, possibly even for individual users to select a theme for their own experience. Currently, you need Domino Designer to change the theme for

I’m currently working on an XPages app after a few months back on client development. So there’s a bit of trying to remember how to do things, and also some pondering about improving practice. One of these areas was on navigation. Historically, my buttons have included event code that finishes by sending the user to
