As I blogged when 8.5.3 went live, Dojo is now packaged as 1.5.1 as physical files on the server for iNotes and 1.6.1 in a plugin. So how do you inspect what’s provided in the plugin? That was the focus on one of the comments on the post I made. Well, Nathan Freeman and Serdar […]

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

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

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

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.

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

Some time ago Nathan Freeman blogged about making Domino Designer work the way you want, lots of excellent productivity tips for improving performance of Domino Designer. One of these was to turn off Build Automatically. If you ever, ever, for any reason whatsoever, ever, ever, ever open a database that’s on a server in Domino Designer

Tonight I came this comment from a developer: Rather than using the DisplayErrors control and showing the error messages, I just want a count. So I could do something like “You have 4 message(s) on the page” All error messages can be displayed in a Display Errors control but can also be accessed programmatically, via

A little over two years ago I blogged about the different languages available in XPages, namely Expression Language, Server-Side JavaScript and Custom. I explained what Custom was and how it could be used. Bearing in mind that XPages are compiled down to Java code, with each control being a class, it makes sense that the

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
