I use source control on every single Domino database that I work on. Often because I want a database under formal change control so that I can relate individual change requests to the changes made in the source code. But also mainly to cover my backside. When I make a mistake (and it is when, not if), having my database under source control allows me to recover things quickly.If you're new to source control in Domino Designer, I have made a video available which walks you through my workflow.Bu [read] Keywords: domino database development twitter

Coding the new UKLUG (ICONUK) site
Tue, Apr 30th 2013 6:40a   Matt White
The old UKLUG site had served us well for several years, but with a new name for UKLUG it was a good opportunity to re-write the conference management application from scratch. To be honest I was more than a little embarrassed about the old site as well, design is not my strong point to say the least. So now that there are things like Twitter Bootstrap out there, I can offload that work onto people who are actually good at it.So what have we created?

I've heard many mentions of Google Now over the last few weeks, not sure why, it's been around for a while now, but anyway I was curious to find out more.First problem is "what is Google Now?". Well it's not really an application, more of a feature of the Google app in Android (I'm not an iOS user at the moment). The larger issue happens if you're a Google Apps For Business as I am, then it's surprisingly difficult to enable at all.

It's becoming increasingly the case that you can't assume that what once worked in a previous version of XPages will continue to work in future versions. Today I have come across a case in point.In my life at Elguji, we do a lot of hosting IdeaJam sites. To make this an easier process to manage we created a provisioning application called Jampot. It allows us to create and manage instances of IdeaJam from a central location very quickly.

Months and months ago (May 2012 to be precise) I signed up for my second Kickstarter project called "Pebble" which as most of the world knows by now was aiming to create a smart watch which integrates with your phone for alerts and apps. First thing to say is that I really enjoyed the process of watching the watch be developed and certainly wasn't one of those people moaning about how long the thing took to create. It went viral so delays, even large ones were to be expected.That being said w [read] Keywords: applications bug email google iphone

I do a lot of mobile Web development so I try and keep on top of the two major device streams, Apple's iOS and Google Android. I over the years I have alternated between the two with my day to day devices and at the moment I'm firmly in the Android camp with, Galaxy S3 as my phone and Nexus 7 as my tablet.

This year has been different, work has very much taken a back seat as I've got married, celebrated the birth of our first child and, in the last couple of weeks, moved house.

Dojo 1.7.2 in XPages
Tue, Apr 3rd 2012 5:19a   Matt White
I had need to make use of some of the more advanced Dojo Mobile controls for a project last week which ship with Dojo 1.7.2. For various reasons I needed the Dojo files inside the nsf rather than on the file system, and if you've had to do that before you'll know what a massive pain it is to get the files loaded. So I thought I'd share a simple nsf with the files loaded.

I suppose most of you know about XPages101 now, the first eight videos on the site walk you through creating a new XPages application. I recorded them two years ago now and they are still useful when you're starting with XPages. But since 8.5.3 and more specifically UP1 (or the Extension Library) became main stream my eight videos can make things seem a little like too much work.

If you've got a categorized view and you want to display it in an XPage, that bit is simple, but what if you want to add buttons which allow the user to expand and collapse the view? This is one of those things which is unnecessarily complicated in XPages, there's no checkbox or simple command and there is a gotcha in the view design as well. So the first step is to write the onClick code for the collapse button: var viewPanel = getComponent("viewPanel1"); var model:com.ibm.xsp.model.dom [read] Keywords: domino ibm xpages bug properties

So, earlier today I posted a short video about a new feature that I've written for IQJam (initially at least, it will be coming to IdeaJam at some point). It allows you to authenticate against a Domino server using Facebook Single Sign On (SSO). Overall this is not for the faint of heart (or the new XPages developer, hence me not going into detail about how what the code is doing etc), there are a lot of moving parts to get things working properly. That being said there is absolutely no reason [read] Keywords: agent domino lotusscript notes script library xpages ajax application database dojo facebook ideajam java javascript network password profile server

Facebook SSO to XPages
Wed, Oct 20th 2010 4:00a   Matt White
One of the things I've been playing with this week is getting Facebook SSO working with XPages. It's not a true SSO implementation as Domino doesn't support OAuth, but from the user's point of view they are not having to enter a username and password to get authenticated against a Domino app. I think it's pretty cool...

XPages training videos now available on the iPad
Thu, Sep 23rd 2010 4:00p   Matt White
Well I finally caved to the repeated requests to make the videos on XPages101.net available to run on the iPad, iPhone, Android and so on. So I've spent the better part of this afternoon transcoding all of the videos and... Voilà. In the end I also took the opportunity to move the hosting of the videos across to Vimeo so hopefully performance will be better and they'll also better handle future developments in online video technology meaning I won't need to worry about it in futu [read] Keywords: xpages development iphone openntf

A small tip for upgrading your XPages apps from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2
Thu, Sep 2nd 2010 4:40a   Matt White
If you have been using Stephan Wissel's "Web Agents, XPages Style" technique for outputting non-HTML content from your XPages, you may run into a problem when you upgrade your server to 8.5.2. In the original afterRenderResponse sample code, you would use something like... try{ var exCon = facesContext.getExternalContext(); var writer = facesContext.getResponseWriter(); var response = exCon.getResponse(); response.setContentType("text/plain"); writer.write("Hello World"); writer.cl [read] Keywords: xpages server

What's new with XPages in 8.5.2
Wed, Aug 25th 2010 7:50a   Matt White
Over on XPages101.net I've just posted (yet another) video. This time we're looking at what's new in 8.5.2 for the XPages developer. What's New With XPages in 8.5.2 As a bit of a teaser, I thought I'd post the audio from that recording here as well so that you can hear what you're missing. As ever, feel free to subscribe if you want to get a jumpstart on your XPages development. There are 30 different videos up on the site covering all the elements you'll need to get started and then dig [read] Keywords: xpages development javascript

Heading home
Thu, Aug 5th 2010 7:53p   Matt White
It seems like a long time since I went away on holiday, and it is. Since the middle of July I've been to Latitude (great), Madeira (great), IamLUG (great) and run an XPages101 day (seemed to go well). So all in all it's been a really enjoyable few weeks. I'm sat in JFK airport in New York waiting to start the final leg of the journey home and much as it's been a great couple of weeks away, I am *really* looking forward to getting back home and just decompressing for a couple of days before g [read] Keywords: xpages

Gone fishing
Thu, Jul 15th 2010 12:00p   Matt White
Well it doesn't happen very often (it's over two years since I last took a proper holiday), but I'm off on holidays for the next two weeks. This weekend we're heading up to Suffolk to the Latitude Festival and then later next week it's off to Madeira for a family trip where we'll be celebrating important birthdays for my parents amongst other things. When I get back from holidays I literally switch airports and fly straight off to St Louis for the IamLUG conference. (If you've not registe [read] Keywords: email
