False Positives on Planet Lotus
Fri, Sep 25th 2009 9:56a Ian Irving Once upon a time, 2006, there was “Show ‘n Tell Thursdays – A Project Of The Lotus Notes And Domino“, and the SNTT tag is still used, but Planet Lotus is where the action is now, an aggregation of Lotus related blogs and news.
Recently False Positives was accepted for inclusion as part of that community. It is a great honor (although also scary to boot) to have may Domino and Lotus Notes related post’s in such fine company.

Validating URL and Email Addresses with regexp in Lotus Notes
Thu, Sep 17th 2009 9:57a Ian Irving I needed to recreate this from scratch, and so I’m documenting this here for the next time.
Most of the credit should go to Julian Robichauxand his ls2j examples db, and in particultar the JakartaOroWrapper Library
My “invention” involves creating a isValidateURL and isValidateEmailAddress Regular Expression (or regexp ) routines that worked for me.

Expanding Group Names for Lotus Domino using LotusScript
Tue, Sep 8th 2009 10:09a Ian Irving I Needed to find the people that belonged to a given lotus Notes group. It couldn’t be a simple lookup since other groups can and frequently are also members of a group, so it needed to be be recursive.

SNTT : Don’t hard code your Selectedable Years in a Lotus Notes dialog box.
Thu, Aug 13th 2009 3:39p Ian Irving Hard coding is bad, bad , bad. Very bad, okay? (see Avoiding Hard Coding of Group Names).
Here’s a quick and dirty way to have a drop down dialog which selects the “Year” and not be hard coded.
1 2 3 4 currentYear := @Year(@Now );
@Text(currentYear-1) :
@Text(currentYear) :
@Text(currentYear+1)
which results in a multip value list of (for this year) “2008″ : “2009″ : “2010″
and then make the default value

SNTT adding http onto URL strings in Lotus Notes
Thu, Aug 13th 2009 6:20a Ian Irving The challenge was to have end users enter url’s (or uri’s) for content and have it presented as a link on the read only end part of the site. The problem is that means having “http” (or “https”) -which indicates Hypertext Transfer Protocol - appended to the string, if it was not supplied by the end user.
so in the Input Translational part of the editable field I used the following formula :
1 2 3 4 5 tempUrl := @ReplaceSubstring(@Trim(@ThisValue); [read] Keywords: document

Stopping Copy and Paste, in Lotus Notes, selectivity in Views
Thu, Jul 30th 2009 1:41a Ian Irving Previously, I showed how to globally Stop Copy and Paste, in Lotus Notes using formula language, at the database event level. I also mentioned how to allow some documents to be pasted in. (in the Notes Client)
What if you wish to just shut down copy and paste in a few views but not all? Maybe the views that some end users have ACL access to create documents, but you what other users to be able to create documents with copy and paste? (yech, but anyway)
in those views you wish to shut down, modi [read] Keywords: acl

SNTT : Validating a Notes Client Rich text field
Thu, May 7th 2009 1:45a Ian Irving Rather than testing the field on the Notes Document object (my reflex habit) , test a rich text field in the Notes UI Document object, because until the document has been saved, the rich text field either does not yet exit (if a new document) or hasn’t been updated.
The assumption in the code below is that Source is a NotesUiDocument object, the “title” field is a editable text field and “body” is a editable rich text field, and the whole thing is part of the forms [read] Keywords: document
