Today I have released another custom control on openntf.org
It’s the Flattr control this control makes it simple to add a flattr buttons to your webpages created with XPages. And get micro payments from flattr users that likes what you or your customers do.
URL QR Codes for you web applications just got very easy.
Just drag and drop add your URL, and you got a QRCode and they work in the Client too.

If you run this formula in traditional Domino
@Text(@TextToNumber(“20,40”)*2)
You will get 80,40 back into the field
But if you run this in some XPage Code you will get
0
Why is this you might ask, well probably because javascript do not recognize comma as a decimal delimiter
So you need to change the formula to this.
@Text(@TextToNumber(@ReplaceSubstring(“20,40″,”,”,”.”))*2)
Then you will get 40,8 back. Not that when you do @Text() on the number the comma is back đ
IBM in Sweden is going to host an XPages day on the 12:th of December in Stockholm.
With Ed Brill as the main speaker.
If you are interested this is the link to sign up for it.
I was looking for some code today to get a wait sign when a partial refresh had fired. I found this great article at lotusnotus.com bu that wait sign had to be added to each event (Not my kind of thing đ ).
Then I remembered that I saw some code created by Tommy Valand to hijack all partial refresh events.
So I made a cut and paste coding and volia. Standby wait sign every time a partialrefresh fires.
I added code section one and two above and also this section into a scriptlibrary.
You could add this lib to a custom control and add the hijackAndPublishPartialRefresh() function in the onclientload client event. Also add dojox.widget.Standby as a dojo module resource.
When I started to use this I found that it was firing all the time, and I didn’t want that so I did some modifications
You’ll still need the hijack script and this last script.
Enjoy!!
Update, Latest version of this can be found here
using the designer import tool –> Link
Or XSnippet
I wrote about the new function that you could change the webpreview port in 8.5.3
unfortunately this gives you another problem if you change the port.
You can’t run local XPages in the client web preview works fine, if you change the port back make sure you write 80 in the field. If you just clear the field you will still get problems.
1. Better Client and OS integration
You need to be able to do things in an XPage that you are used to in an ordinary client.
Ed Brill talks about the roadmap for Domino, this is great customers want to know that the road continues. He has made up a name called Foo for the next version of Notes/Domino because the name is not decided yet. But he tells that there will be a 8.5.4 version and a Foo Version or as I think it will be named
XWork Client.
IBM released the new XPage server a couple of days ago and this server is called XWork Server
Link to some info regarding this (Link 1, Link 2, Link 3).
Due to the fact that IBM want to drop the Lotus Notes name, xWork will probably be used instead. I think XWork is a good new name because this describes very good what the Lotus Notes/Domino always has done it eXtends your Work. It’s a eXtra hand when your work.
It’s not just another software, it help you become more productive, it helps you and your colleagues to do more. Lotus Notes was an application framework before that was invented.
So I’m excited to see what the next step is for the XWork framework.
