XPage Control: Multi Select Dialog Picker
Tue, Mar 16th 2010 4:18a Steve Castledine I have just released an XPages Multi Select Dialog Picker control on OpenNTF. The multi-select dialog picker allows you to specify a Lotus Notes View/column based data source, or via an api any list you may choose and return a list of selected values. There is full documentation here. You can also bind to any field for automatic selection and updating of values. I will write a follow up article on some of the client side coding techniques. Further features: 1) The picker can easi [read] Keywords: lotus

Dominoblog: Templates
Thu, Mar 11th 2010 4:39a Steve Castledine Denny had a question: I want to have a 'Home' page that starts when the blog is opened, then I want to have a link that will take me to the Blog and I want to do all this with the .nsf file. So I took and made a copy of the 'Home Page' found within the 'Page Templates'. I then renamed the copy to "Blog" and saved it. Next I changed the 'Home Page to look like what I wanted. Now my question is this, How do I Call the new page I made from my top menu or is this not possible [read] Keywords: domino

Dominoblog - give me the dirt
Fri, Feb 26th 2010 2:04a Steve Castledine The subject is slightly tongue in cheek, but the question is a serious one. I've read on more than one occasion this week the line "difficult to use" for DominoBlog. So I need to find out what is the part that is difficult to use. From a user standpoint creating a blog entry should be no more difficult than creating a new email. Creating a new blog is no more difficult than "File > Application > New" (not that I like that, but its the same for all Domino applications). So I ca [read] Keywords: admin

XPages: Validating Radio Groups Client Side
Wed, Feb 17th 2010 1:45a Steve Castledine This has come up twice recently so thought I would share a few tips. Server side validation of radio groups and also check box groups on a basic level is very simple. You navigate to the component properties and add a "required" (xp:validateRequired) validation rule via data > validators. I say simple however other components do have this available on a specific validation tab whereas these you have to drill down to the properties: If you want to do more advanced validation then [read] Keywords: xpages application

XPages: Hide Detail Rows
Tue, Feb 16th 2010 6:41a Steve Castledine Very quiet around here as very busy (some very cool stuff) and still catching up on "I will document that for you" from Lotusphere. So here's one off that list "Hide Detail Rows". So in Notes development we have the ability to add numeric values to columns and add totals. Often we are not interested in the number per row but just the totals, maybe by category: So we set the view column property "Hide Detail Rows" to achieve this: When we want to do the same for XPages, this p [read] Keywords: lotusphere
