I’ve just published a new release of the Mobile Value Picker on OpenNTF. The main reason for the new release is to force resetContent=”false” on the Cancel button on the mobilePicker Custom Control, to ensure content is not lost in a new document when using the SSJS approach. The other addition is a Design Definition …
Over the weekend, as part of the third XPages contest on OpenNTF and based upon the series on this blog, I contributed the Mobile Value Picker project to OpenNTF. Niklas Heidloff has written a great blog post about the project and also recorded a video demonstrating the control. The control allows you to use a …

Lotusphere is over for another year (and the perennial debate about the name also seems to have been put to bed – announcements have always said “Lotusphere 2013”).
