Ulrich Krause: Get the most out of Lotusscript - Richtext under the Microscope

Ulrich Krause | 12:30:25 AM Friday, March 12, 2010 | Full Story and Comments

The project Cebulon is some kind of a sandbox to try (and sometimes fail) advanced techniques to use the C-API core functions of Lotus Notes and Domino from Lotusscript. There are a lot of code snippets you can find on the web to open a file dialog or to show a progressbar and so on. But did you ever try to change the settings of a document header or footer in the background using an agent? Not an easy one, is it? The $Header / $Footer items are RichText items and you cannot simply use ReplaceItemValue to modify the content.

Build your first iPhone App in five Minutes via XPages and iUI

Niklas Heidloff | 11:21:25 PM Tuesday, March 2, 2010 | Full Story and Comments

We've published a mini framework to build your first webkit based app for smartphones via XPages and iUI in five minutes.

You can download the release from here and report defects and feature requests here.

In this video I show how to build an iPhone app for the OpenNTF XPages Wiki project in less than five minutes. The wiki is not the best sample (since it converts wiki markup to HTML) but it shows the base concepts.
