Small Talk 2.0 – Move your internal communication to new limits

Posted by on 25 July,2012 3 comments

Small Talk Release 2.0 has been released on OpenNtf.org

This release has what I think important improvements that gives a new angle of Social
It’s great with likes and retweets of you posts. But with the new version your coworkers can
Flattr you for internal posts done in Small Talk. Internal posts you might say that is internal and you can write about it and certainly not use Flattr. Well that is taken care of in Small talk, Small Talk will only send to Flattr that something has been Flattred using a Small Talk Post. So your secrets is safe with Small Talk.

The new version also includes alot of improvments as Reader user acess now works, Avatar images works, Tag Clouds for popular taggs and Users is displayed and alot of other improvmements.

Small Talk is now even more the tool for you internal communication or storage point for all infomation that you can’t put in your CRM or Development system.

Take Small talk for a test drive and let me know what you think

The Domino designer short command that saved my day

Posted by on 4 June,2012 2 comments

Today I learned a new XPage Designer short command CTRL+Shift+> what does this do you might ask?

Well how many times have you been in the designer and have tag highlighted and started to scroll upwards or downwards searching for the corresponding tag. That is something you can stop doing now.

You only have to use CTRL+Shift+> and volia you end up at the matching tag

Happy Source Coding

Create your own @Formula

Posted by on 4 May,2012 No comments

There is several ways of creating your own @Formula commands. One easy way is to create a serverside scriptlibrary and create a function that is named @MyCommand there. Include this SSJS library into your XPage / Custom Control and you have added a custom @Formula.

function @Getfirstword(data){

   return @Left(data,” “)

}

And the second way is to create your own extension to the Domino designer as Ulrich Krause has done in this new openntf project.

http://www.openntf.org/internal/home.nsf/project.xsp?action=openDocument&name=SSJS%20Extension 

There is probably serveral more ways of adding new @ commands to XPages, if you know a way make a comment.

This is the result of the debugger poll

Posted by on 29 April,2012 No comments

I have a little poll Link about what the developer community want from a future debugger I had 62 people responding to the poll, Not a huge amount but anyway enough to see the direction. A future debugger of XPages needs SSJS debugging, java and client side debugging is not necessary. 

It was a close run between new debugging features that I listed  between conditional breakpoints and

backwards debugging and the backwards debugging won. It would be great to have both these functions in a future debugger. How could a backwards debugger work in Domino, well I think that it could work like this. When you start debugging every change to variables is logged the only variables that can be traced is your own variables. no objects. Then when you start to trace backwards these changes is shown in the debugger like playing a movie backwards.

Looking forward to the day when we get a debugger. 

New interesting openntf project

Posted by on 26 April,2012 No comments

I found this interesting project on openntf.org yeasterday Ruby in XPages if you don’t know what this is it’s an implementation so you can write Ruby code inside an XPage. You might say I don’t know Ruby so how can this be of interest to me.

I don’t either know Ruby but I think the project it self has other interesting things because it shows how to implement another language into XPages, perhaps node.js, PHP or ASP.Net. 

Another post about the possibilites to expand XPages was posted by Sven Hasselbach awhile ago show a way to write lotusscript code inside an xpage –>Post  (use Chome or Rockmelt to get the post in english)
