Drag n Drop Sidebar - Feature Request: Centralized configuration


Hi,

to use this cool tool, I would like to put the configuration for the connections to a notes-database on the server.

That would allow the admin to configure a connection to an application and share it with other users.

I will start with the development as soon as I find some time ...

... what do you think, will it make sense to include the code in your code-stream?
Do you have any recommendations or requirements I have to fullfill?

Thanks and best regards David




Taken Actions by Owners

Owners are investigating the request.

Convergens have a version of the code where the configuration is done by using an agent and a text file.

 

It is possible to use a feature that will let you generate and distribute the configuration for the Drag and drop widget.
Include a line like this in notes.ini on the Notes client:
PFDDCONFIG=Profile8###C125764A0051FA40###(getCaseDbListFromPersonprofile)###1
There are four parts to the line separated with "###".
First - Hostname of a Domino server
Second - Replica Id or file path to a Notes database
Third - Name of an agent to run when the Widget is initialized
Fourth - 0 or 1 that instructs the Widget to do basic logging

if this line is in notes.ini when the Widget intiializes, it will run the agent specified and then it will look in the Windows temp directory for a file named profilednd.txt. This file should be generated by the agent.
The profilendn.txt file has a format that the widget can parse and use to overwrite it's configuration.
Here is a sample of such a file.


profilendn.txt
ProFile Borgersag#CN=Profile8/O=Development#ProFile\Kerneudvikling\Borgersag\ProAktiv.nsf#CA-CasesByCaseofficerForDND#@UserName#2,3,4#(CreateDocumentsFromDND)###0#Case#1##1#1
ProFile Emnesag#CN=Profile8/O=Development#ProFile\Kerneudvikling\Emnesag\ProFileCase.nsf#CA-CasesByCaseofficerForDND#@UserName#2,3,4#(CreateDocumentsFromDND)###0#Case#1##1#1

 

Looking forward to here more from you.

In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
