Technote update -- Undocumented function @LocationGetInfo
By Andrew Pollack on 08/18/2006 at 08:56 AM EDTAn a post a few weeks back I went into detail about the function "@LocationGetInfo" which I used to help Rocky solve a programming puzzle. He needed to get the current location document's name so that he could do things with that location document. After doing a dxl export of common system files I found some parameters and using those we came up with formula language to get what we needed.
Just this morning a response by Jens Winkelmann added a new parameter to that function. [FullName]. I've tested it, and it works.
The list of parameters we now know about are:
@LocationGetInfo([FullName])
@LocationGetInfo([HomeServer])
@LocationGetInfo([InternetMailAddress])
@LocationGetInfo([NamePreference])
@LocationGetInfo([BookmarksFilename])
@LocationGetInfo([SametimeServer])
@LocationGetInfo([UNID])
If you're curious, the formula language I came up with before Jens' post was:
n := @Text(@LocationGetInfo([UNID]));
locList := @DbColumn("":"NoCache" ; "": "Names.nsf" ; "Locations"; 1);
@For( x := 1 ; x <= @Elements(LocList) ; x := x+1 ;
t := @DbLookup("":""; "":"Names.nsf"; "Locations"; @Subset(@Subset(loclist; x) ; -1) ; "Name" ; [ReturnDocumentUniqueID]);
@If(n = @Text(t) ; @Do(@Set("LocationName"; @Subset(@Subset(loclist; x) ; -1) ); x := @Elements(loclist) + 1 ) ; "")
);
@Prompt([Ok];"";LocationName)

If Twitter can't find away to curb this use of their system, they're leaving themselves wide open to be replaced by some other simple tool. To combat almost ubiquitous "reply spam", many of us have closed our Twitter accounts so that our tweets are not public. By keeping them out of the public timeline, we don't get reply spam most of the time. It reduced the value of Twitter, however, ......

I know for a fact that this browser works just FINE with the template, because if I change the browser's identifier to claim it is a different version the template works. More important, you've removed the decision from me. This is the kind of arrogant, unthinking, over-controlling, poor user interface design that has users hating the ......
