XPage - Quick Example: Save Time adding view page controls to a view on an XPage
By Andrew Pollack on 06/24/2008 at 11:06 AM EDTThis screenshot shows a quick example of how easy it was to add view paging controls to a view container on an XPage. I'm creating a custom control, which is really like a sub-xpage. You create custom controls to tie blocks of user interface together that work with specific data or functionality. You can then use them on your top level xpages, on other custom controls, etc. Unlike subforms, they're not limited by not being allowed to have the same field names, or by having some functionality that only works on the top level and not the child level. They're standalone XPages, but you can embed them on other XPages. Its a simple as that.
Since the control I dragged over is a view, taking a look at properties tab there is "Pager" set of properties. You can make your own of course, but for this example I've simply selected "Sample 1" to get the bar you see across the top. That's all I had to do to get the layout with the page numbering, hot links to more pages, previous and next buttons, etc.
Will this save you time?

I'm writing this to share it with you, so you can be saved the work I've been doing. The feature I wanted (and still want) is for file resources that use the new editors (e.g. CSS, HTML, JAVASCRIPT) to allow "" values or at least some form of tokenization to allow you to include things like "@webdbname" and profile document values in ......

One thing that's hard to do at present with the CKEditor when you integrate with Domino, is handle the built in browsing/uploading/embedding for file attachments, images, flash, and so on.

- 02/14/2010Great weekend sleddingI'm from "away" -- a term which in Maine speak means that I wasn't born here, and while I've been here for nearly 20 years I am very easily spotted as a non-native to pretty much anyone with long time family roots in the area. Being from away, there are things I just hadn't had a chance to do that most Mainer's take for granted. This weekend, I got the chance to scratch a few of those off the list. These included going 'upta camp', being significantly north of Bangor, and spending a fair bit of time on a ......
