How SmartNSF came to rescue in a heavily surveilled little (bird) house  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 3/6/18 7:56 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

One small hobby project of mine is a birdbox with an wifi enabled IP Camera. Much more fun to watch those small house sparrows build their nest and see how hard they work to bring up new kiddo-birds. The images from the web camera surfaces on an web page, and everything worked fine last year. However, firing up the camera this year, nothing showed up!

How to redirect an URL in Domino and break the Domino-server's attempt to append any URL-parameter like "?OpenDocument" to the target URL!!  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 2/17/18 5:22 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

This is a story of something that I anticipated should take 5 minutes to fix. It turned out to take a couple of hours instead! Very briefly - using the redirect web site rules, Domino will transfer any URL parameters (like ?OpenDocument, ?OpenForm etc) from the source URL-pattern to the target URL. If the target URL doesn't like OpenDocument very well, this ends up in an "HTTP Web Server: Invalid URL Exception".

Wow! SmartNSF (BETA-5) can now call java directly, and work with the parameters with ease!

This evening it was time to test the latest and greatest version of SmartNSF – BETA 5. When you have installed it (via an updatesite database for the server) and via a local update site in your Designer, you get some cool new features. First of all, intellisense seems to work very good so now it is much easier to get the available methods etc.

Teach the old dog some new tricks: Let LotusScript consume REST Services the easy way  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 10/14/17 5:37 AM | - | Added by Kenio Carvalho

This article shows you how to consume REST Services in LotusScript. Behind the scenes this is accomplished with two script libraries. One back-end worker class made with Java (class:CWebContentConsumerJava) which does all the heavy lifting, and a LotusScript wrapper class (class:CWebContentConsumer) which uses the LotusScript-to-Java bridge LS2J to interface the back-end java directly.

Over the years I have attended many Lotuspheres and the latter IBM Connects. What I really enjoyed in the first Lotuspheres, were the intense depth of some of the sessions. Remember C API sessions with difficulty settings? Tree dots meant the real deal! Well, those days are over and generally Lotusphere has become more and more a marketing event. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not the same as “back then”

Post FP8 install - Does anybody know where the Xpages "Mobile" controls palette has gone?  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 3/16/17 3:59 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

After installing the latest and greatest FP8, I realized that the Extension Library shifted a lot of components from ExtLibX into the ExtLib. One thing I can’t seem to find any more is the “Mobile controls” – which contained the “Single Page Application” wizard amongst other things. [SEE THE COMMENT]

How I added Textbox.io rich text editor to XPages  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 5/24/15 9:38 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

What about replacing the built in rich text editor in XPages with a super-modern editor which accepts image-pasting directly, without configuring anything on the server?

How to communicate with IBM Connections from LotusScript wrapping IBM SBT with LS2J - Part 1  

By Robert Ibsen Voith | 11/21/13 7:16 AM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten

You have seen the cool IBM Social Business Toolkit (IBM SBT), and you played around with the übercool Playground application. You dive into the code and quickly discover that you need some Java or JavaScript knowledge. - Ooops, but I am mostly doing LotusScript, you say … what now?
