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

Tommy Valand posted on his blog yesterday and on the Notes 8.5 forum today a bug with multi-value fields. Basically save switches the output between a multi-value field and a semi-colon-separated string. Coincidentally I was working on an XPages application today, with a keyword form, for which I needed a multi-value field. Not surprisingly, I

Over the last few days a colleague of mine has been doing some XPages development. We’ve come across a couple of interesting bits of functionality that might not be obvious.

Now and then I come across a bit of functionality I never knew about. Occasionally I’m embarrassed to find out it’s been there for ages! An example of that is the Run in background client thread option for Notes agents. I only noticed this because of the clearer layout for Agent properties in Domino 8.5

Option Four Option Four seems quite convoluted, but is essentially a simple principle. We use server-side javascript in the beforePageLoad event to set viewScope variables for each of the radio button, check box and list box mandatory questions we want to check against. We then use the onClick event to trigger a partial refresh and

Option Three is a modification of Option Two, which reproduced the client-side validation available for other XPages controls, with a javascript alert. At this point I should add some background to the application I was working on. The application in question is a major upgrade of our enterprise feedback tool, EFT, which added in Dojo styling, used

Update I’ve now got everything working, got answers to my last blog post, and worked out the various Domino version differences affecting this all. So before I continue with Option 3 and Option 4, here’s an update on where we are. Option 1 used the out-of-the-box server-side validation for radio buttons, check boxes and multi-value

Anyone who used Domino Desiger 8.5 must have been looking forward to last Monday. There were blog posts teasing about the improvements in 8.5.1 in the build-up and constant tweets across Twitter on Monday and Tuesday about people installing 8.5.1. If you want to know about the many major improvements, a myriad of developers have already eulogised more
