PermaLink Lotus Knows - how to annoy developers!08/19/2009 01:16 PM
None

Sorry for my swipe at the current marketing campaign, but I spent the last hour finding that Notes won't do something I thought would be a no-brainer.


I wanted to create a frameset that displays framesets from two external databases.  So, in Database A, frame1 points to Database B, and frame2 points to Database C.  Each frame uses a formula that retrieves the path to the external database from a profile document.  Turns out that the Notes client won't render a frameset that contains more than one computed frame to an external database.  One computed frame works just fine.  And it all displays properly in Domino Designer.  Ugh!


I even tried using Notes URLs, but Domino Designer doesn't allow Notes URLs for a Frame URL.  I found that I could get this to work if I use the folder icon to select each database and frameset within the frame properties.  I'm glad that I got something to work but I really wanted to use a compted formula for each frame in the frameset so that I'm not left with a hard-coded solution.


The problem is still there in Notes 8.5 too.

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.

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.

@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.

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?
