ATTENTION!!! IF YOU DOWNLOADED 0.9.5 before I could post 0.9.5a - You can "fix" 0.9.5 by replacing the following elements from 0.9.5a:


  • Form "CONFIG - View Config"
  • Views: All the "demo doc" views + "(REPORTS - Export/Report Mappings)"
  • If you have already customized or copied any of these views, you can alternately replace the view action "Missing View Title Config - CLICK HERE to create it now!" in all your affected 0.9.5 views with the same action from one of the 0.9.5a release. This is really only important in order to ensure that future "view copy" operations do not propogate the bug. The same advice applies to those of you who may have copied or customized the demo views in the 0.9.4 release.






  • There are now several "demo" documents which contain useful documentation including a quick start guide for creating a new form and view.


  • Overall, this release represents a huge leap in features and is much "tighter" than the initial release. Many areas of the configuration that were only half-implemented before are now fully functional.


  • An alternate "Dashboard" UI inspired by Chris Blatnick's work over at InterfaceMatters.com. You will be able to change the DB Config so that the default launch page is either the Dashboard Frameset or the Standard Nav/View Frameset. You can even configure the content of the four "tabs" that make up part of the dashboard interface. It's not fully baked in the sense that I have some additional functionality yet to go in, but if all your tabs display views (as opposed to forms, pages, or entire framesets), that part works.


  • Integrated another great OpenNTF project, namely Sean Burgess' ASND Export Facility. You can now create report documents with custom selection formulas, column definition, sorts, etc., and export to Excel, CSV, HTML, or XML. Very cool stuff. See the "Reports" tab on the dashboard.


  • Nearly All the core SuperNTF image resources (i.e. those used for outline entries, action buttons, etc.) have adopted the standard "SNTF_" naming convention, and the pixel sizes have been standardized in more places. It may not have been obvious but one of the problems with including images in outline entries is that images with different dimensions can really throw off the alignment between entries, which is very ugly when using OS-style expandable outlines. There are a few images left on the cleanup list (mostly actions), but the most visible ones are done. If you haven't checked these out already, I have created a ton of mouseover-friendly icons that can add cool effects to both action buttons and outline entries. My favorite is the trash can :-).


  • The "Custom Color Setting" tool I blogged about last week at www.lotusguru.com is now fully functional and available in the Administration Section under the "Design" outline entry, along with several other goodies, including…


  • I've added a view called (DesignElementsbyType) which is used in several places to generate lists of different design elements for selection on some of the configuration forms. Many of you are probably familiar with the approach of using LotusScript to generate, say, a list of all views in the database, and then populate the choices in a keyword field with those values. This view makes it possible to do a simple @DbLookup to get these values. The trick is one that has been around for years and involves a simple hack of the $FormulaClass attribute of a view. There is more to it of course, but I'll save the rest for my next SnTT post. However, there is nothing stopping you from using this view in your other applications right away if you like.


  • Fixed a minor bug in the Soft Deletions handling whereby a document currently showing in a preview pane would generate a UIDocument error when a user attempted to delete it. This was particularly important given the new dashboard interface, which makes heavy use of a preview pane.



    And MUCH MUCH MORE ;-)
