Sat, Apr 21st 2012 303 XSnippets Upgrade: Commenting Tue, Feb 14th 2012 295 Blogroll Wrap-up: Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.3 is coming with Enhancements... Serdar Basegmez     You would be aware of blogs and tweets about the anouncement of Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.3 release with great new features. It will be next tuesday (as usual). Last time, I wrapped up some blog posts about 8.5.2. I'll be doing this again and if I forget to give wrong/missing reference for other bloggers, please shout (or comment)... Before the start, There are three four things... First, usual legal warnings... These features are not promised/guaranteed/etc. and subject to change etc. and based on beta program partners etc. etc. etc. :) Second, next tuesday will not be the product announcement alone. There will be more. Whole licensing has been rewritten and some changes will also be announced like express licensing restrictions. Finally, IBM listened the community and offering a new product which will be announced next week. I recently participated a limited call about it and I liked it very much. You should be patient about the details that I won't share but although it will confuse us a bit, it will cover a great gap in the whole product family. [end of teaser] :) While I am composing this post, Stuart McIntyre blogged about a very important enhancement: Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.3 will be shipped with the entitlement for IBM Connections Profiles and Files! I blogged the end of Lotus Quickr Entry a while ago. I was informed that this was going to be announced in Lotusphere but it has been reserved for today :) Let's start with the wrap-up: 1. Julian Buss started a great wiki about a good summary of new XPages features. 2. Darren Duke, Mary Beth Raven and Marie Scott about the general features: Ability to move server based full text indexes to another drive. Machine specific policies. Purge Interval Replication Control Re: and Fwd: are now ignored when you sort by subject New mail popup (slide-in alerts). Complete control of color of unread email Multiple signatures. Better control of "Recent Contacts". Sametime embedded is now 8.5.1 and Symphony is now 3.0 A tool is provided to change a single user install to a multi-user install. Smart upgrade of Windows Vista and Windows 7 ID Vault works in Citrix XenApp Dropping sessions on IMAP tasks Ability to search messages by recipient and subject from the view. 3. Declan Lynch, Eric Brooks and Niklas Heidloff blogged about the new features in Domino Designer 8.5.3 Source Control Enablement - You can now run DDE with a source control server. Designer is MUCH more stable and responsive. Designer now has a new "Java Design Element." This allows you to add a java class as a true design element. New "XPages" Perspective. Better Javascript Editor. "Sign" button on all design element lists Ability to control automatic popup of infoboxes F2 on a design element now allows you to rename the name AND the alias. 4. Darren Duke, Niklas Heidloff, Eric Brooks, Julian Buss, David Marko, John Jardin and Declan Lynch (also here) blogged about some XPages enhancements: Full text sorting HTML 5 attributes added to XPages controls Preloading XPages applications at client and server startup Code aggregation makes JS and CSS files much faster to load Dojo 1.5.1 Much simpler i18n support Easier deployment of ExtLib and other OSGI plugins Ability to disable tags around some container controls (repeat, panel, etc.) Show disabled control for read only New Dojo property panel for controls, so that you can set Dojo attributes more easily. New performance related application property “Evaluate entire page on refresh“. New “show XPage instead” property for views. In the fileDownload control you can change the image and confirmation message for the “delete” action now. A new event “view.postScript()” let’s you compute client side JavaScript which is executed every time a full or partial update is executed. OneUI version 2.1 Relational database connection with Ext.Lib. (BTW, Extension Library is already compiled for 8.5.3) 5. Ulrich Krause (a.k.a. Eknori) and Paul Mooney (and here) has blogged about Traveler enhancements: Lots of enhancements in Android: Android has a new set of widgets for mail and calendar. Android will have multi-line signatures Android Calendar enhancements Android Tap to dial for calendar entries Android Mail enhancements Android OS 3.0 support Installation improvements for Lotus Notes Traveler client for Android Name Lookup enhancements for Android Android chair side calendar actions Android 3.0.x tablet menus Domino encrypted mail support for Android Reply and Forward indicators from Apple devices Select which applications are allowed to sync for Apple devices New security policy option which requires approval for new devices Administrative approval for devices connecting to Traveler Symbian^3 support (with device encryption enforcement) Mail routing configuration no longer needed on the Lotus Traveler server Meeting notices sent from mobile devices are now sent “from” the mobile device user Name Lookup requests are now executed against the user’s mail server directory Lotus Traveler data only remote wipe for Apple iOS devices Domino Mail-in Database lookup Group name lookup We may see more in the gold release.

Sat, Apr 21st 2012 3:10a   Serdar Basegmez I am blogging for more than two years. It's like a part-time job. I am doing this sacrificing my 'life' and 'time'. Many people attribute me and this is a great pleasure... But sharing my ideas or knowledge on the WEB doesn't mean that people can steal them 'COMPLETELY' without my approval even with an attribution! Yes, I have used the word "stealing" on purpose. Because this is what LotusLearns.com is doing!

Mon, Apr 16th 2012 3:28a   Serdar Basegmez Today we have added a very simple feature to XPages.info site. It provides an integrated search functionality to be used with browsers. Here how to use it: For Chrome: 1. Open xpages.info site once. 2. Close your browser, reopen and at the address bar, start writing "xpages". Depending on how frequent you are using xpages.info, it will suggest the address in the bar. For me, "x" character is enough :) 3. Now you see a new instruction in the address bar: "Press Tab to search [read] Keywords: xpages community database firefox openntf properties xml 173 "Dotless i", toLowerCase and toUpperCase functions: Use responsibly! Thu, Apr 5th 2012 10:33a   Serdar Basegmez "Dotless i" problem is the most profitable area in my revenue stream :) Since the beginning of my career, I found and isolated dozens of bugs simply related to 'dotless-i'. I have already blogged about it couple of times, but let me sum up the problem. There are Turkish characters in our language, as in many others. But two exceptional cases are "ğ" (curved g) and "ı/İ" (dotless-i/dotted-I) characters. The first one is a whole different story that some linguistic experts sugg [read] Keywords: lotus notes R7 R8 xpages application applications database development java 371 Going to XPages?

We have heavily concentrated on transition to XPages development from traditional Domino programming. I am hearing a very common sentence more and more: "Damn! I can't even design a very very simple thing on XPages! Because of that, I'm not going to XPages..." There are many reasons that people with traditional Domino application development background fail in XPages. However this "XPages sucks" literature is not even close to those [read] Keywords: domino lotusscript notes notes client xpages application applications development server 325 My First Article on The View is online... Fri, Mar 9th 2012 1:41a   Serdar Basegmez My first article "Custom Controls — Basic Concepts and Techniques for Getting Started" has been published on The View magazine. This is the beginning of a series of articles about custom controls. In the first part, I have focused on differences between custom controls and subforms, basic usage of custom control properties and some features around reusability.

Thu, Feb 23rd 2012 4:04p   Serdar Basegmez I really enjoy debugging mysterious error messages from XPages... Today, it's "field in note has wrong datatype": I have experienced this problem upon a question from my client. Save button (which only submits the form) results in this error. After analyzing the page (analyze=delete all elements except the button) I decided that XPages elements have nothing to do with the problem. It was computing the document before saving, so that must be the problem. Indeed, I analyzed the form ( [read] Keywords: notes xpages 176 Googled my own blog... Again! Thu, Feb 23rd 2012 3:12p   Serdar Basegmez It happened again... I was dealing with a Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 upgrade today at the customer site. I had this annoying error while upgrading Media Manager: "Not enough storage is available to process this command" I googled and browsed to my blog entry. This is a very common story for many bloggers. Some of us keeping blog as a personal memory.

Mon, Feb 20th 2012 1:44a   Serdar Basegmez Did you see that old advertisement video from IBM? OK, Universal Adapter does not exist. But it was a funny video :) Anyway, it wasn't my topic. We have several content repositories within different IBM products. Connections (and LotusLive of course) has Files, Quickr (for Portal or for Domino) has Document Libraries, Domino has Teamroom, FileNet has Files again... The list goes like this. So far, we have different connectors for most of these repositories.

At the recent version, registered users can add comments to snippets. A couple of months ago, I blogged about rating update on XSnippets. In a similar way, I also developed commenting within xInvolve Custom Control. The recent version (released on OpenNTF) contains single control for commenting and rating. I have decided to seperate these two functions to improve usability. Beta version of rating control has been deployed before.
