No need for MS Office anymore with 8.5.3

Posted by on 12 June,2011 No comments

>If the gold version of Lotus Notes 8.5.3 has Symphony 3.0 as the beta releases has then

The need to Microsoft Office on company pc is almost 0%
Symphony 3 release note
The new support for VBA script is the key enhancement that will make the transition from Ms Office to Symphony easier. Why pay alot for MS Office when you can use Symphony for free??

I don’t know if you are finding old emails from people, often. But this is something I do in my inbox all the time. I even has created my own view “by email” but In 8.5.3 of Notes with upgraded design of you mailbox to 8.5.3. You can do a search by sender and search by subject.
This are great addons if you ask me, they will most definate help me and hopefully many other users.

Loading an image from the nsf

Posted by on 1 June,2011 No comments

>I’m trying to load an image stored in the .nsf file into an java image.

And then adding this into an IText pdf.
Does anybody know how to load an image in XPages?
I have seen examples using this.getClass().getResourceasStream(XXX)
I don’t get an error using this but I don’t get any picture probably the wrong path.
If so Does someone know what path to use if the image is uploaded as an ordinary image or in the web-inf folder.
Thanks

@DbColumn fix to always return an array

Posted by on 25 May,2011 No comments

@DbColumn might not return what you expect I found out that @DbColumn despite what the documentation says not always return an Array.
If there is only one entry inside the view you will get an string back. This will give you problem if you are using this as the source for an repeat control or somethign else that is expecting an array.

Use this code to fix you problem.


How to speed up internet using file hashes.

Posted by on 21 May,2011 1 comment

>Someone have probably thought about this before, if so why doesn’t the browsers have this 😉


If we could use filehashes like DAOS to find if we have downloaded the exact same file before and the resource tag could have a filehash tag from the webserver. then we could get a much faster web.
i.e.
<link http://Dominoserver/database.nsf/mycss.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” filehash=”78AD782EA9292″>

If the webbrowser found this file hash in the cache regardless of server the same resource could be used. Of course there is probably some security aspects in this but if it worked the web would be much faster.
We could even drop most of the cache aspects in the browsers because content without the filehash uses the old way of caching. But if filehash is found webbrowsers could always find if the same content exists locally, as soon as you change the content your users download the new content and never need to download content/resources they already have locally.

This is an idea nothing that todays webbrowsers or webservers support but perhaps in the future.

Update on post
There is a HTML tag called ETag that is apart of the http 1.1 spec, this adds a crc check of the content. Great news, didn’t know about this but we still have the problem that we only want to load the same content once. Regardless of the server we have loaded the resource from.
To get a maximum utilization of the cache.


Runtime error in Internet Explorer

Posted by on 16 May,2011 No comments

>I found a strange error today I started to get “runtime” error in internet explorer. I investigated the problem and found that the following row was causing the problem.

document.getElementById(“Body”).innerHTML=tmpHTML;
the tmpHTML variable contains some valid HTML and the Body tag was a span tag.
When looking into the problem some more I found that it is an IE bug so when I changed the tag from span to div, everything worked again.
Hope that this might help someone else so you don’t have to investigate alot.
