WEB DEVELOPMENT:When using, for example, external JavaScript Libraries such as “EXT JS”, the directory structure needs to be mimicked in the Notes DB for all file resources (*.js, *.css, *.gif). This is necessary so that when accessing the db via the web, the URL’s for each resource are still correct.
Previously, you could name a file resource, for e.g., “ext-3.0.0/src/util/History.js” or “ext-3.0.0/resources/css/ext-all.css”.
This was absolutely neccessary in having these external JavaScript libraries and dependent files function, due to the directory structure, for the URL’s.
You can no longer use the forward slash (“/”) character to name File Resources (*.js, *.css, *.gif) in Domino Designer 8.5.
In essence, you cannot implement these solutions on the 8.5 Domino Designer platform. You are forced to have to use a Notes 7 or 8.0 Domino Designer version. A workaround is to place the files in the /html directory on the server. This is not always possible, depending on environment, policies, etc.
Anyway around this in Domino Designer 8.5? Is this a known issue?
