I recently finished a project with the purpose of integrating a Lotus Notes CRM application with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange. The customer has moved their mail handling to Exchange and Outlook and still uses Lotus Notes for their application handling including this CRM application. The CRM application had functionality to import mails from Notes, [...]

My company, PHL Consult, became member of OpenNTF in August and thereby supports OpenNTF and the use of open source within the Lotus Domino/XPages community. This means that I support the idea of open source in general (and support OpenNTF as an organization) – and that I both contribute code to and reuse code from OpenNTF. I [...]

I will be teaching two 3-day courses in August, 2011 on basic XPages application development. The courses are arranged by Intravision. The first 3-day course starts August 23 at IBM in Lyngby. Seats are still available if you are interested in signing up for the course. Please see the course details (in Danish) for more information [...]

Today I was asked: how do you make sure that anonymous users do not see content that only logged on (and thereby authorized) users must see? I often use a simple solution of having a xp:panel for anonymous users and another xp:panel for authorized users (both on the same XPage). Only one of the two [...]

What a great weekend for open source contributions from me! Yesterday I created the XPages SEO custom control – and today I have created a new XPages custom control for the OpenNTF development contest called XPages Web Analytics custom control: the custom control makes it easy to add web analytics to your XPages web site. In [...]

This is a follow-up to my post on how to create custom 404 and error pages in XPages. A very useful improvement to catching controlled errors such as “page not found” errors is to send the related HTTP status code in the response. So for “page not found” errors the HTTP response code 404 should [...]

My company PHL Consult completed another client project last week involving XPages. The purpose of the project was to modernize an existing Lotus Domino company website by creating a new XPages solution with a related Lotus Notes client CMS for article editing and related content handling (such as menus, graphics, and meta data) – and by [...]

A friendly reminder: if you are running Lotus Domino 32-bit on a Windows Server x64 (64-bit) and need to use ODBC, then you need to define your ODBC data sources in the 32-bit ODBC Administrator program – and not in the standard 64-bit ODBC Administrator program. This is because the Lotus Domino ODBC drivers are 32-bit. The [...]

My company PHL Consult was responsible for the implementation of the portal while Supermouse design [...]
