Runtime optimized JavaScript and CSS - workaround for multiple stylesheets
Thu, Jan 26th 2012 4:02a Tommy Valand If you have multiple local stylesheets on a page, the CSS files are combined into a single file. This changes the url to the stylesheet (adds xsp/.ibmmodres/.css after the path to the db). If you have an image reference like url(image.png), the image can no longer be loaded, as the url is relative to the path of the stylesheet. To work around this issue, add ../../../ to the image reference. E.g. url(../../../image.png) [read] Keywords: blogger

Thing to be aware of when using "Generate unique keys.." in view
Mon, Jan 2nd 2012 5:03a Tommy Valand I had trouble with a couple of views today. The views had the option Generate unique keys in index checked. When the views were replicated to other servers, they weren't built. When trying to open them I got the error message Entry not found in index I found the solution on the Domino forums, add !@IsAvailable($Conflict) to the view selection. [read] Keywords: domino

ClassNotFoundException with the new Java design element
Tue, Dec 13th 2011 3:02a Tommy Valand Last week Vince Shuurman blogged about having to recompile when opening an XPage app in Domino Designer. I had the same issue. I was using some Java code in an XPage, and every time I opened the app in designer, I got ClassNotFoundException when opening the XPage. A build of the project fixed the issue. My java code was in the new Java design element (new in Domino 8.5.3), so I suspected that it might have something to do with this. I moved the code to a "custom" java source folder, and the [read] Keywords: domino

Java Debugging in Designer without hacks
Fri, Oct 21st 2011 4:02a Tommy Valand I found this today: How can I enable Java debugging?. Not sure if this is new in 8.5.3, but I never heard of it. It makes it a lot easier to debug than the using the two headed beast method which seemed like too much trouble. The full instructions are in the Designer help. Search for java debugging.

Indicator for all partial refreshes
Tue, Sep 27th 2011 11:03a Tommy Valand Sometimes partial updates take a while. To make users aware of updates happening, I made a small JS object that automatically shows a dojox.widget.Standby over the area being updated. Initially I thought that it would be too much, showing the mask over every refreshed area. So far, I quite like the effect. The app isn't in production yet, so I don't know how users will react, but hopefully they will appreciate being made aware of that things are happening. To load the object, put this in a J [read] Keywords: xpages blogger

Using themeId for maintainability
Mon, Sep 26th 2011 12:03p Tommy Valand In an application I'm currently working on, there are several categorized views with number-/totals columns. As the number of views/columns increased, I looked for a way to make styling of the columns more maintainable. The solution I found was using themeId on the columns and calling a SSJS function in the theme, that generates the style classes. I chose numberColumn as the name for the themeId. In theme numberColumn styleClass #{javascript:return StyleHelper.getNumberColumnStyleClass( [read] Keywords: application

XPages: Passing event handler code to custom control
Fri, Aug 26th 2011 5:22a Tommy Valand In an application I'm currently working on, I have a combobox that's used in several pages. The values the combobox contains persist over every page, but what happens when the user changes value varies from page to page.
I saw that the combobox has several properties for events under all properties. I tried adding
#{compositeData.onchange} to the onchange event, and it works. One caveat is that it seems to fire three times, but I can live with that.

Update on the "enhanced" validation messages
Fri, Jul 22nd 2011 2:01a Tommy Valand I added functionality to select/focus a dijit tab if the field is inside a dijit.layout.TabContainer. I also added a highlight effect when a field is focused. Source code for the custom control can be found in the original post. [read] Keywords: xpages blogger
