Interesting "Export to Microsoft Excel" option in Notes Client
Fri, Sep 9th 2011 8:09a Jerry Shelley Well fancy that - there's an "Export to Microsoft Excel" option on the right click menu of a web page displayed in the Notes Client.
I've been writing some XPages to display some reports, but the user wanted the option to export the raw data to a spreadsheet. So thinking that the user was running the application in a browser, thus writing a file to their machine might be problematic, I simply wrote an Agent that took the contents of a View and printed HTML out to the browser.

Web access to database only getting Read Public Docs.
Thu, Jun 30th 2011 6:12a Jerry Shelley It took me a while to figure out why when I was logging into a normal database that I got no access at all. I knocked up a $$ViewTemplateDefault Form, made it "Available to Public Access users", and put some Computed Texts on to show @Username, @UserRoles and @UserAccess( @DbName ). The 1st two were as expected but UserAccess returned "0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0" ie No Access!

XPages Extension Library - ValidationTextBox required attribute
Thu, May 26th 2011 8:10a Jerry Shelley I'm having great fun and success with the XPages Extension Library. Can't wait for it to be included in the core product so that we don't have to install it on the servers. Anyway, I was having a problem with a Dojo ValidationTextBox not stopping the submission of the form if it was failing validation. I figured out from DojoCampus documentation that you need to add the "required" dojo attribute and set it to true. Hope that helps someone. [read] Keywords: xpages dojo

XPages - Clientside access to Serverside data or events?
