Paul,

IdeaJam on the Blackberry browser isn't something that we have tested - hence we don't currently officially support. Is this a requirement for your organization? �If so may I suggest posting this is an idea on http://ideajam.net. �Select IdeaJam for the IdeaSpace.�

re: Is it possible to add an Event to a Panel/Div?

Answer:

Jeremy gave the correct answer.� It didn't work at first to me.� It turns out that you must make sure that the panel has an ID.� That's needed for the event to bind to it.

Thanks Jeremy!

re: Is it possible to add an Event to a Panel/Div?

Author: Jeremy Hodge
Answer:

Yes, you can add events to a panel, however there is no support for it through the UI, you have to do it in the source code ... also, if you plan to support a "backwards old fuddy duddy no fun good for nothing pain in the @rse piece of crap" browser (say IE 6), then nevermind.

�

Easiest way to get it done if you aren't comfortable enough coding the event 100% in the src window is to create the event on an object that supports it, then just move the xp:eventHandler block inside the xp:panel

re: How can I combine the backgroundcolor of a field with validator on a Xpage

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:26:40 +0000

Author: Jeremy Hodge
Answer:

Martin, this can be accomplished by accessing the input's JSF component isValid() method, in the label's style attribute. isValid() returns false if validation has run on the component, and the component failed validation For Example:

�

�� <xp:label value="Some:" id="label1" style="#{java_script:(!getComponent('inputText1').isValid()) ? 'background-color:#FF0000 !important;color:#FFF;' : '';}"></xp:label>
�� <xp:inputText id="inputText1" value="#{HelloWorld.someVariable}"
�� required="true"
�� disableClientSideValidation="true">
�� <xp:this.validators>
�� <xp:validateRequired message="Value Required"></xp:validateRequired>
�� </xp:this.validators>
�� </xp:inputText>
<xp:messages id="messages1"></xp:messages>

re: IQJam's support for formatted questions / answers.

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:00:49 +0000

Author: Matt White
Answer:

Hi Paul,

�

We basically limit the formatting options to what's available in the rich text editor toolbar that you see. So we offer:

Bolding, Italicising, Underlining, Strikethrough
Bullets and numbered lists
Indenting (which also works well for code samples, see�here)�
Links to other pages
Embedded images which are hosted elsewhere (ie you need to know the URL for the image)

If you want to do more serious formatting then you will need to know CSS and be willing to open Domino Designer (we sell the templates open so you can see and edit all fo the source code).

�

Hope this helps. We'd be happy to do a more detailed demo if you would like, just drop a line to sales@elguji.com

Paul,

Taking your "Dynamic Table with Data Source and Repeat Control" example, if you were to add a "Status" selection box, how would you restrict the displayed content to the Status selected, eg New?

Author: Mark Rowan
Answer:

Paul,

�

Thanks for the response.� Can you use your "dynamic html table" with an xml data source and still filter the displayed values?� I know it says on your page that you can use an xml feed, but your example in the database is based on a view (whiich has come in handy elsewhere I must add) so how would you restrict what was displayed (from an xml feed) in the table based on a given value?� I'm guessing it is possible but it's probably beyond my capabilities.

I'm toying with the idea of re-writing the xml feed to restrict the xml ouput to just include the values I want (based on the selection from a drop-down list) and then I can display all the returned values but I was hoping to use the full xml output (as is, without a re-write) and then just display the records I want based on a given criteria (selection box).

�

No joy so far, but probably down to my lack of development experience/ability.

Answer:

Matt White responded to my earlier question about the attachment which is along the same lines as Stefan's.

http://iqjam.net/iqjam/iqjam.nsf/questions/20100622_XPages_in_Notes_Client!!_How_t.htm

The issue here is, there is no server name, as the databases are on local machine (off-line). Leaving the attachment issue aside, I need to know the exact URL pattern/syntax to open a notes document from another local database.

Since the application is web application, the whole�thing on local replica has to work�in the Notes Client Firefox. So a�"Notes:///" protocol is not what I am looking for.�

Answer:

I responded to your question on the Forum, but I'll copy it here for anyone else who stumbles across this:

�=========

I need to do a bunch of apps for the off-line local client.� I have high hopes for Xpages in the client combined with replication.� I've deployed on early test to a couple of users, and while I'm having some issues with Printing, the app is working and pulling data from another location database which is a typical notes Client app.

So conceptually it's looking pretty good for Xpages on the client.

I've not done anything with trying to pull attachments though.� but did you see Stephan's post on this topic today?� That might help you.

re: Simple Question on View Control

Author: David Leedy
Answer:

No - You're not going to be able to use the form.� Think of the form as simple the definition of your fields.

�

Paul Calhoun posted a tool to convert a from to Xpages via DXL.� It was on xpagesblog.com I think so you might want to investigate that.�

�

You're better off in the long run putting creating XPages for your documents.

Author: Rajeev Menon
Answer:

So there is no way I can open the document with the form? (Other than�building the URL manually in the view column). I really don't want to open the document with a XPage. It will be� lot of work for me to convert all functionalities built into the form to a XPage. :(�

re: Simple Question on View Control

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:56:15 +0000

Author: Paul Hannan
Answer:

If no XPage is associated with the documents form, the action from the viewPanel will try to open the document in a XPage of the same name as the form. If no Xpage of the same name exist, the action will fail.

So you might want to create a XPage with the same name as the document'f Form - adding controls that can be bound to the data sources on the Form.�

�

Or, you can open the Form properties and select the XPage from the 'Display XPage instead' drop down to get things going

re: XPages in Notes Client!! How to build URLs

re: XPages in Notes Client!! How to build URLs

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:22:34 +0000

Author: Rajeev Menon
Answer:

Thanks Matt. It worked!!

�

But, now it�asks the location to save the PDF file that I am trying to open. On the web, it opens up the PDF in the iframe which is how I want it to work on the client as well.

�

I think this particular URL syntax is derived from the "File Dowload" control and that could be the reason why it is asking to save rather than opening�in the iFrame itself.

�

Do you know of any way to open the PDF inside the iFrame?
