Showtime
My Blackberry Enterprise Server Push Utility for the Lotus Notes Client, allows you to create Jobs for individual Channel, Message, and Browser Content Pushes, as well as allows you to delete Pushed Channel Icons from defined recipient devices.

Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.

For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!

Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!

xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

Using the HTML Body Attributes to manipulate Domino-generated Web/Mobile client Design Elements

01/30/2008 01:21:43 PM by Chris Toohey

Authors Note: Sure, it's a hack - but it's pretty slick! ;-)

While I tend to roll my own Web and Mobile client Design Elements and not let Domino generate any of that RAD web element publishing stuff... but stuff like this is good to know!

Jake shared a method to embed a Login Form across your forms/elements/etc. A good tip, but relies on the </form>-in-the-header approach to kill the Domino-generated <form> instance so you can actually do what you want (the quick & watered-down version of Content Type overrides and building your own forms outright... but I digress)

What if you don't want to kill the Domino-generated <form>? Well, here's an option for you!

Let's say you want to put some markup between the <body> and the Domino-generated <form> elements. How can I do such a thing you ask?! Well, check this out:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document._domino_target = "_self";
function _doClick(v, o, t, h) {
var form = document._test_bodyattributes;
if (form.onsubmit) {
var retVal = form.onsubmit();
if (typeof retVal == "boolean" && retVal == false)
return false;
}
var target = document._domino_target;
if (o.href != null) {
if (o.target != null)
target = o.target;
} else {
if (t != null)
target = t;
}
form.target = target;
form.__Click.value = v;
if (h != null)
form.action += h;
form.submit();
return false;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ><div id="popup">&nbsp;</div>

<form method="post" action="/DrawingBoard.nsf/test_bodyattributes?OpenForm&Seq=1" name="_test_bodyattributes">
<input type="hidden" name="__Click" value="0">Test</form>
</body>
</html>

All I did to generate the above.... markup <shudder> was to modify the HTML Body Attributes, add a closing > to complete the <body> element, and add a div element named popup.

{><div id="popup">&nbsp;</div}

As you can see, I close the <body> element first, but leave the <div> element open-ended. The HTML Body Attributes will force a closing tag (>), which while intended to close the <body> element I'll be more than happy to use to close my <div> element!

Now, as I mention in my comments on Jake's post, I typically have a div called popup that I use AJAX (or the ol' iframe-hack) to populate with functional content - such as a form that, upon submission, populates certain "locked" fields on the main form. Think about a name picker widget or something like that to get an idea of what I'm talking about here.

Since this popup div sits above/outside of the main <form> element, I don't have to worry about nested forms and can do pretty much whatever I want!

... but I'll stick to rolling my own thank-you!
