Well, at Prominic.NET we have been doing Domino hosting for about 12 years, now.  It's our core business and we have offerings from small shared accounts up through Enterprise-grade configurations, and we'd be happy to work with you.  You can find us, naturally, at http://Prominic.NET

 

If you want to compare and contrast a bit, though, Domino Developer Network, Connectria, and CoreFusion are a few other companies who also offer Lotus hosting and should have this size of package.

Two approaches one could take:

David,

 

I have the following repeat control formula working against a categorized view so that it only returns the category values and the total I want.

 

The view is categorized view by year/month with totals for the month. 

 

 The formula is

 

var colIndVal = viewEntries.getNavigatorPosition();

if(@Length(colIndVal)==1){

var colVal = viewEntries.getColumnValue("$9");

return colVal + "<br />";

} else if(@Length(colIndVal)==3) {

var colVal = viewEntries.getColumnValue("CatMonth");

var colVal2 = viewEntries.getColumnValue("Total");

return colVal + "-" +colVal2 + "<br />";

} else {

}

 

 

And the output is: 

 2009

February-192.78947368421052

March-139.53846153846155

April-124.18518518518519

So based upon the level of category it will return the result from the view for each category but return no values for the detail rows.  The formula would have to be adjusted for how many category columns you had (in this example I have two) 

 

I haven't tried it yet but I believe I can stick this inside my dynamic table solution to produce a table so that the values are separated into columns for display purposes.

 

I will try that next but I think this should work for you. 

 

I will work on the table solution and let you know. 

 

 

Matt,

 

Thanks for the link.  I remember that article now, but didn't look at it today. I'm actually using this technique BUT it's not what I'm looking for.  His posting is a method of hiding the Value of the number in the detail records.  But he's still displaying the detail records themselves.

I only want to return the category totals to the browser - I don't want any detail records at all.   Say I have 30 days worth of shipments.  Hundreds of shipments on each day.  I'm looking to only show daily totals.  Maybe a repeat control isn't the way to go.  In Lotusscript I could get this with a viewnavigator I guess and then write it out to the browser in a manually built table...  Not sure how that might work in xpages...  I guess maybe I could do that in SSJS as the value of a computed field that's set to display html.... does that make sense?

 

I've not looked at data tables.  Not sure what they're for but I'll check it out.

Thanks!

Not sure about an exact answer without some work, but you may want to check Steve Castledine's article about hide detail rows in a view:

Also have a look at data tables rather than a repeat control, maybe they can help? 

Thanks Matt,

 

I appreciate the help. 

Hi Sean,

 

A couple of questions. 

Hi Carl,

 

XPages will run in the Notes client but only if you're clients are 8.5.1+. For earlier Notes clients, your users would need to access XPages applications using a web browser.

 

For web development, I would highly recommend that you go for Domino 8.5.1 as it has a huge number of bug fixes compared to 8.5.0. 

 

In terms of training options, there is a ton of resources for free out there to get going with: 

 

The XPages Blog 

Planet Lotus 

 

are all good starting points.

 

For paid training options, TLCC offer courses: tlcc.com as do I: xpages101.net

 

Hope this helps. 

 

Matt 

Open the document

double click on the down arrow in the addressbar

then click in the address bar
The Notes URL will then be displayed

Well, as for the problem, it certainly does seem to be something that was fixed between 8.5 and 8.5.1.  While I don't know which specific fix did it, I suspect is was something in one of these:

So that just leaves the best practices part of the question - form vs page for embedded view - any thoughts on it greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
