re: Is there a list of Domino Web Hostings available somewhere.

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:38:15 +0000

Author: Douglas Robinson
Answer:

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.

re: Best practise for centralised configuration data when using local replica

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:34:13 +0000

Author: Ben Poole
Answer:

Two approaches one could take:

Move all of this config data from the Domino Directory into a separate barebones "config" database, which can be taken off-line, and have every app use this for its look-ups, or;
Have the relevant Notes applications pull the required config data from the Domino Directory into a profile document (when connected to the server), and have the app's look-ups look at this profile document rather than at the Domino Directory itself.

re: How to show View Category totals in a Repeat control?

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:16:17 +0000

Author: Paul Calhoun
Answer:

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

May-117.55172413793103

June-111.38095238095238

July-113.05

August-119.71428571428571

September-107.46153846153847

October-115.15789473684211

2010

January-114.25

February-113.53333333333333

�

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.�

Answer:

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!

re: In what context can I use currentDocument.getParentId() ?

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:43:01 +0000

Author: Matt White
Answer:

Hi Sean,

�

A couple of questions.�

Is the document you're working with really a response document? (i.e. has it got the $Ref field)
If it has is the value correct?
If it isn't a response then that will be the reason it doesn't work. You may need to set the Form design to make sure that documents created using it are responses.

As a general rule I am switching away from using response documents in XPages. The overhead of looking up values using views is low enough that I prefer the flexibility of having everything as a "normal" document that just has references stored on it by me if I want some pseudo relational behaviour in my XPages.

Author: Matt White
Answer:

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:�

�

Declan Lynch's Introduction to XPages�

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.�

re: Displaying unread marks

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 09:32:10 +0000

Author: Ben Poole
Answer:

Don't forget that whilst there's a db property related to unread marks, it's at the individual view level (design properties) that you actually determine what, if anything, that view does with unread documents.

�

For example, view properties / advanced tab determines whether unread marks are used in the view or not. The options for unread marks are "Unread documents only" or "None" or "Standard (compute in hierarchy)".

�

You can also define unread marks styling for a view—colours, whether to show unread docs in bold, and so on.�
