How to validate for a Horizontal Rule in Rich Text? I'd like to find a way to capture all text up to the next Horizontal Rule found in a rich text field. Any ideas?

What you're seeing is what I would call "normal behaviour".

The build doc library template is open sourced here: { Link } there is also an xpage version that the redwiki xpage project produced which will be available shortly.

Team room needs a new face and that is also on openntf as an open source base template. :)

The Redbooks Wiki: Building Domino Web Applications using Domino 8.5.1 at { Link } has a section on web enabling an existing Notes client app; they use the Document LIbrary template for the case study. I think there is a download for the finished database. Not sure what it's status is regarding deployment and fit/finish; think it was used to demonstrate XPages development.

A template thats jazzed up and has a web capability would be nice in case its needed in the future, or by mobile clients.

Comment From Peter Presnell

Peter Presnell — Wed, 6 Jan 2010 03:11:00 PM -0400

I think what you are seeing here Mike is a move on the part of IBM to assign properties on the basis of a postive statement rather than a negative. In the past Iris/Lotus tended to state many things as a negative e.g. Hide When rather than XPages which has "visible". While this transition takes place i think we all need to read the fine print carefully. I am sure it can be a pain at times but I think long term this is a step in the right direction.

Tim Tripcony — Wed, 6 Jan 2010 12:20:23 PM -0400

You actually only have to hold Ctrl+Alt and it'll open in the old frameset mode... so technically it's only a 2-fingered salute.

Comment From Michael Sobczak

Michael Sobczak — Wed, 6 Jan 2010 11:49:43 AM -0400

That works. Is there a way to set that permanently, so that my users don't have to use the three-fingered salute each time they open their mail?

Comment From Bob Balfe

Bob Balfe — Wed, 6 Jan 2010 10:56:53 AM -0400

From the Open menu hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT and click on Mail or Calendar. The database will be opened using the standard database launch parameter.

@4 - This is a bug. See : { Link }

Comment From Michael Sobczak

Michael Sobczak — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:24:23 AM -0400

@1: Hi David, I saw your technique, but it won't work for me because my radio button options are dynamic. I use an @DBLookup to retrieve them from a keywords view.

@2: John, I tried that but the validation was never thrown. Let me try that again. I may have done it wrong.

@3: Paul, I saw your post but your solution looked a bit complex for what I need. My xPages skillset is in its infancy at the moment, so I'm trying to accomplish this the simplest way possible.

All I need to do is verify that the user selected an option in the Radio Button group.

Sorry, the link included the closing bracket: { Link }
I tried the xp:validateRequired validator, but couldn't get it to display the message I wanted to use.
By all means email me - pwithers@intec.co.uk

Comment From Paul Withers

Paul Withers — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:44:11 AM -0400

How do you want to validate your radio button group? There are a variety of options, as I'm starting to blog about ({ Link } I spent over a week trying various things because I had very configurable requirements, and I'm sure I can help you.
The blog also has a link so you can see what I've done to validate radio button groups, using dojo tooltips.
Client-side is one option, but there are server-side options. The solution I use is server-side.

Comment From John Mackey

John Mackey — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:39:45 AM -0400

You can set the "required" property to true, then you can add an error message control to display the required message to the user.

I use this technique in my survey sample app on my website. If you download it, look at the TakeSurvey xpage.

Mike,
I'm not sure I've tried to validate a Radio Button in XPages yet but I did write a blog post about this once that might help.

Be aware that I have been having issues with shared actions. They randomly reposition themselves, switch around which ones are on the form and more recently I cannot even edit them anymore. I have to recreate them to change the code. I am using DDE 8.5 FP1 so be forewarned.

Comment From Dragon Cotterill

Dragon Cotterill — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:55:40 AM -0400

Ummm. Whats to stop you having your main framesets which open pages (or forms) in your existing database... which then in turn read your config and open the requisit databases?

Comment From Michael Sobczak

Michael Sobczak — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:57:19 PM -0400

@2 Unfortunately, my client is rolling out 8.5 Basic initially. 8.5 Standard will be an option in the future, but I won't know how soon that future will come to pass.

Comment From Bob Balfe

Bob Balfe — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:34:36 PM -0400

House the two framesets side by side in a composite application. I am not sure how you want to drive the content of the framesets but this would allow them to display.

Comment From Chris Toohey

Chris Toohey — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:20:54 PM -0400

I might have an answer to your problem, but it's not Framesets per se. Shoot me and email and we'll discuss your apps requirements, etc.

Comment From Glen Urban

Glen Urban — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:46:33 PM -0400

I resolved this problem by correcting (?) the ACL on the servers database catalogs. The problem was caused because LocalDomainServers had manager access in the database catalog.

We have a hub and spoke topology, the spoke/local site servers have manager access to their own catalog.nsf whilst other servers have only reader access, this ensures that only local server databases are listed in the local catalog. So when the Notes client looks up in the catalog it will only ever see an entry for the local server and opens that database.

If you look at the ACL of the template for a catalog you will see an entry for [LocalDomainServers] with access level of "Reader". This suggests that this is the default and intended ACL setup for catalogs.

Hello Mike

Just found you on the planetlotus.org site.... I thought i recongized the name ( as i see it in the Infolink code all the time ) You have done some good stuff here at seco....... But its weird how they used Access tables to store the data ....

So you developed the web service for seco quote ?

-Default- is set to Reader.

The "Sign or run restricted LotusScript/Java agents" field in the server doc was blank, so I changed it to "*". No change after restarting the Domino server. Must be something simple...

This is a well written article. I found this article while searching for how to grow my own tomatoes or how to find them cheap. I read the whole article and the one comment though because immigration and its effect on the quality of living in this country is very interesting and important to me. Thanks!

Navigate to below menu-items to get logs

Help -> Support -> view Trace

These show us logs from workspace.

Comment From Stephan H. Wissel

Stephan H. Wissel — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 12:34:50 PM -0400

Maybe you are barking up the wrong tree. What happens: Dojo is loaded in the first statement. The browser sees the second statement and does: "Aha smarty boy, I have that already" and moves on. Anyway the difference is the parseOnLoad. Remove that line and simply register a small onLoad function with the page that executes the parse statement.

See: { Link } with cut & paste code.

What logs am I looking for? The Notes log doesn't have anything in it.

By the way, I shut down my standalone Sametime Connect Client 8.0 and the errors have gone away. Maybe Notes 8.5 and Sametime Connect 8.0 aren't compatible?

Comment From Bob Balfe

Bob Balfe — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 11:16:53 AM -0400

What is the full exception from the logs? I can search and see if it was fixed in one of the 8.5.1 code drops.

You would need to create the MIME parts first, and populate them with your HTML. Then you can send the message out. You may want to search on creating MIME messages in Notes to see if there's some free articles on it someplace. There was a good article in the Advisor on this a few years back.

Is it possible to create an email in LS and set the type to text/html ....then using ol and li elements would do...

Comment From Ben Langhinrichs

Ben Langhinrichs — Thu, 4 Jun 2009 10:19:23 AM -0400

I didn't think you were dismissive. I appreciate your mentioning Midas at all.

The biggest problem with the Notes rich text classes has always been their way of targeting rich text. You can't even say the first cell of the first row of the second table, you have to say the 43rd cell. That doesn't map well to the way people think, and it makes nested cell support virtually impossible. What I have never understood is why they have not added a new target scheme that is more flexible. There is little technical difficulty in supporting nested tables, but the target difficulty makes it almost impossible.

Oh, and sorry to hijack your post. Go bullets. They could add that support very easily.

Comment From Michael Sobczak

Michael Sobczak — Thu, 4 Jun 2009 08:41:07 AM -0400

Hi Ben,

Didn't mean to be dismissive of Midas. It seems like an awesome product from what I've read over the years.

While I appreciate the Notes Rich Text classes were added in V6, I felt at the time that the way they designed them really what programmers could do. I have to wonder if Lotus can't revise them to include nested tables because of the way that they were originally designed...

Comment From Ben Langhinrichs

Ben Langhinrichs — Thu, 4 Jun 2009 08:13:38 AM -0400

Well, to be fair, the "Genii solution" (our Midas Rich Text LSX, for those who live in a cave somewhere) didn't offer this when first released. I looked it up - we only added the ability to programmatically add bullets in Version 1.10, which we released in Nov. 1997 for Notes 4.1. So, IBM is only twelve years behind... so far.

An even bigger mystery to me is how IBM had managed to avoid support in the rich text classes for nested tables, which have been supported by Notes since R5, before most of the rich text classes were even written.

The domino dojo controls have the onload turned off automatically. You can change this for the server (if you don't use xpages)

Or change the behavior for the server
