07 Aug 2008Peter PresnellMake null numeric values zero?

I think it is a great idea but wonder about the "backward compatibility" angle of this. Perhaps some sort of Notes.INI variable etc. could be used to allow this feature to be turned on. The ability for a numeric field to be either a number of text "" causes a lot of unnecessary processing when you try to do basic tasks as simply adding two "numeric variable values. A + B.

I was just about to create this one... Glad I searched first instead of duplicated it.
07 Aug 2008Ben PooleMake null numeric values zero?

Yes it's certainly been in the product a long time... in which case more useful error reporting would be fab for us poor maintenance coders :)
07 Aug 2008Jeff GilfeltMake null numeric values zero?

I agree with this idea in principal, certainly in the field specific error alerting, but at the end of the day I think it is just one of those quirks we have to live with in the schema-less world of Notes. Plenty of validation formulae in existing apps (@If(MyNumberField = ""; ...) would presumably break if they changed this.

On more than a few occasions I have seen formulae where the developer used NULL, presumably thinking it was a language keyword (which of course would evaluate to "" as long as there is no variable or field in the document context with the name "NULL").
07 Aug 2008Ben PooleMake null numeric values zero?

I know null != 0. But that's irrelevant. Contrary to popular belief, null is not a construct in the Notes formula world. If you're going to treat field values a certain way, you must be consistent. Notes is not consistent when it comes to numeric (or date) fields, compared with text fields. It is not consistent to say that a NUMERIC field has a value of "".

Null <> 0

this would be a great learning curve for newcomers!

It makes sense.

In the meantime, you may want to try a 3rd party Archiving solutions provider.

For those of us who don't drink coffee (or other caffeine) or smoke cigarettes...

How about...
Have the masseuses ready for free 15 minute massages between the sessions.

Ones tries...
I'd think we'd would want to remind them of the need while they're still planning things. Waiting until December or January won't help very much I'd guess.
06 Aug 2008Wayne PeterBring back the Admin Manuals

While it is true that the Infocenter contains the latest up to date versions of the admin manuals, they appear to be nothing more than a more up to date version of the the admin manuals in nsf format. What I would like to see is the admin manuals also published in a PDF format. It appears that most if not all of the information is already present in the Admin help database. I think that the data just needs to be extracted and placed in a PDF format with a Table of Contents and an index added.
06 Aug 2008Bruce ElgortCoffee... please coffee

Craig you are definitely a forward thinking guy.
06 Aug 2008Patrick KwintenMake @DocChildren / @DocSiblings / @DocDescendants work in any other formula

yes that would be I guess the most valuable return value.
05 Aug 2008Morten ClausenEnforce (or advise) the need for a default view

Since the problems created by not having a default view it should be enforced. Not having one *may* have increase performance slightly. As far as I can see from RPC logs I've been studying the default view always gets a hit even if the start frameset opens another view entirely, but I don't know if that changes if there isn't a default view - never tried it.
05 Aug 2008Jesper KiaerPersistent Login for HTTP

I created a Domino CRM Contacts solution used in a Blackberry Browser. We did not want the users to time out and have to login again, so a work around was needed.

So by storing username and password encrypted in cookies and some code in a java agent the user would only have to log in the first time. Then on the user would automatically be logged in.

Then you have about 30 tags, would be able to put about 3 boxes across (would be nice to have some tags you prefer on top or even different colour) and it is a bit long, but much shorter than now when you have about 20 links on page.
Yeah, it needs to be seen.
02 Aug 2008Matt WhiteShow links in business cards

Martin,

It's a very interesting idea and your example looks great. But what happens when you have 500 links and each tag has 20 or 30 links associated with it?

Martin this is a very interesting idea. We need to add a "under consideration" category :-).
01 Aug 2008Martin HumpolecShow links in business cards

Added kind of :) MS OneNote rocks
01 Aug 2008Matt WhiteShow links in business cards

Hi Martin,

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're asking for. Could you maybe give an example or a simple mock screenshot of what you have in mind?

Thanks

Matt
