Decimal Separator in formula - Solution

definetly it is a simple feature, but I like such approaches, I found this one on IBM:
@Middle(@Text(@Pi); 1; 1)
but probably this one will be more easy for our brain (but it depends):
@Middle(@Text(1/10); 1; 1)

Actually the problem could be when we want to show value which are stored in 2 (or more) different fields, put them together in 1 place and split "default decimal symbol".

default decimal symbol - could be changed in Control Panel->Regional Options->Numbers tab.

View -> JSON -> Excel report

Usually I (probably as all) used agent approach in web applications for making excel's reports. In my case I was asked to make some reports exporting all data from current view (reports should look like in view).

So I decided to use another approach (in my case it was JSON because I like it more). Here you could download the demo version how to receive data from LN database.
to receive all documents from view I used:
?ReadViewEntries&count=1000&Start=1&outputformat=json&ExpandView
to receive the name/title of columns I used:
?ReadDesign&Outputformat=json

and in the end of the story I used next code to create excel report

function
appExcel(){
if (
window.ActiveXObject){
var
xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add();

xlBook.worksheets("Sheet1").activate;
var
XlSheet = xlBook.activeSheet;

XlSheet.cells(1,1).value = "value";
xlApp.visible = true;
}
}


This function works only in IE as far as I know.

OutputFormat=JSON

Just found,

I read that it should be only in 8.0 version, but it works in 7.02 also, but it is undocumented feature of Notes Domino. I pulled &OutputFormat=JSON as additional parametres in URL and got back JSON. Great, it opens some new ways for me. Will play with it a little more, and probably will get something to show very soon.

All LotusSphere2008 presentations here (free and without any passwords)

I found (Actually not me but in any case I will share them as well) ! One of my blog's friend found the way how we can download all presentations from LS2008: download

Probably it will save a lot of time for many people which looking for them in Internet.

But I don't know, is it legal to share them? because if no, I will remove the link.

Generate HTML for all fields


I used it for some years and only now I read some articles about several bugs which didn't see before. Probably because I've made not so difficult applications in web, but in any case I still like it.
It makes my life more simple!
