Thanks to "@Eval"

Hi there,

It was still now a big problem for me to write a code validation on all the 25 fields, now "@Eval" made my work very simple. Let me explain you the excellent new feature of R6 "@Eval" function.

Have a ComputedForDisplay Fields with the below code as a default value, name the field as "dEval".

"@If(@ThisValue=\"\";@Failure(\"Please enter \" + @Leftback (@ThisName;2) + \" value\");@Success)"

Says for example if we have 25 fields which has be checked for NULL validation. Field names as follows

Name1TX, Name2TX,Name3TX ..... Name25TX.

Copy the below code in "Input Validation" section of the field as,

@Eval (dEval) that's it. Copy paste the same in all 25 fields. Validation job is done.

@Eval is very usefull in lot of places, if we are writing the same set of code in more that 1 field we can use this "@Eval" function.

Sign your Lotus Notes database with 3 lines of code

Hi All,

It was always an big issue to sign our Lotus Notes / Domino database with Admin or Server ID. Here comes the solution, no need of your Admin or Server ID to sign your agents, just a 3 lines of lotus script code will do that for us.

Create an agent and paste the code below

Sub Initialize
Dim session As New Notessession
Dim db As Notesdatabase
Set db = session.Currentdatabase
Call db.sign(DBSIGN_DOC_ALL)
End Sub

The agent will sign the database with the ID of the user who signed the agent. Then, you might ask "if the agent is signing with the Admin ID, what's the point?" Admin can use the Lotus Administrator to do it , but what about the developers who don't have access?

Thanks
Karthik

Javascript on Form not working

Hi all,

I was hiting myself after wasting 3 hours in finding the issue. Let me explain you what the issue is all about.

I was asked to write a Javascript code which will be called on click of a Submit button. I checked the button, it was already calling a function so I thought I will append the code to the existing function. I wrote my code, but my code was no way executing.

Problem started here, I searched in the team studio configurator and got the functions with the same function name in lot of places, say for eg the code was there in the form JS Header, in the Subform JS Header and in the Page also, so I don't know which function will trigger, as usual :-) I started giving alert in each function to check which function the Submit button is calling. I got the result :-( non of the functions, non of my alerts triggered.

At last I found it in the Form, the code which I wrote was in the Java Script of the client not the web. Our previous developer copied the same code both in Web and Client and atlast he changed the option to client which I didn't notice. Good that I found in 3 hours not in 3 days :).
Hope you will check when you JS is not working in JS Header on web.

Thanks
Karthik
