Show single category view and outline issue02/10/2010 10:00 AM I set up a Notes database with a frameset containing the typical outline navigation frame on the left and a view frame on the right. I designed the frameset so that the first design element that is opened is a form with an embedded view with a show single category formula. The show single category formula restricts the documents displayed to those for the current user. This all works fine.
However, I can't get the embedded outline to highlight the form that is being displayed in the view pane when the database is
first opened. The embedded outline will highlight the form as selected when I click on the entry for it, but not when I first open the database. I tried changing the form to a page, but I get the same behavior. I also tried changing the embedded view to be the default view for the databas. Nothing doing. It seems like an embedded outline will only automatically highlight an entry if its for a view.
Am I missing something? Or have I just forgotten the quirks with embedded outlines?

Document Library template02/02/2010 04:16 PM I've been taking to heart what Chris Toohey and others have said about application UIs and how they can impact what users think of an application platform like Lotus Notes.
Before I roll-out another database based on the drab and lifeless Document Library template, has someone already taken the existing emplate and jazzed it up? Or created something like a Document Library and made it open source?
I checked OpenNTF but didn't see anything there. This would be for Notes 8.5 Basic client users. No web or Standard client users at this time.

User-customizable view columns don't work with shared columns?01/20/2010 12:06 PM Blogger of the year Chris Tooey wrote an excellent article on how to set row colors using profile document. Unfortunately, I discovered today that it does not work with shared columns. I created a non-shared view column and it works just fine. Time to call Lotus Support and complain!

Coupon suspension -- popcorn for dinner?01/07/2010 08:06 AM I'm on the MJR Theatre newsletter mailing list. They're a local theatre chain in Metro Detroit. I'm guessing folks were taking the concept of "dinner & a movie" a bit to far...

This makes my head hurt01/06/2010 Notes Standard - how to turn off composite application display01/06/2010 10:33 AM I have some users who like the Standard client, but don't like how long it takes to load their mail as a composite application. What they'd like to do is have the mail file render in "basic" mode, but also be able to use the sidebar and the new embedded Sametime client.
Is there an easy way to change the mail file so that it displays without the composite application features in Notes Standard?

Validating a radio button group09/18/2009 09:34 AM I've been searching through all of the various sources for xPages development and haven't found the answer yet. Either that or I completely missed it. (Which is very likely.)
Does anyone know how I can validate that a Radio Button Group control has a radio button selected before the xPage is submitted?
