Close Discover page definitely

Hi,

Each time I start my Notes client, the Discover page opens, although I closed this page beforehand.

I have found no option to close this page definitely.

Thanks for your help.

Subject: Discover page’ loads even if it is set to ‘Do not show’ in the Desktop Settings of the Policy

To me it looks like the field $Pref$DISCOVER_HOMEPAGE on the Desktop Settings form does not have the correct Input Translation formula.
This field controls the $DISCOVER_HOMEPAGE setting in the Notes.ini file.

The ‘Discover page’ loads even if it is set to ‘Do not show’ in the Desktop Settings of the Policy.

There is no way a value of “1” can be returned, imho this is the only value where the Corporate Home Pages database is set as the source for the ‘Home page’.
I will investigate this further but for now I have therefor changed the Input Translation formula so that in case “Social Edition Options” is set to “None” with “Don’t set value” and “Discover page” is set to “Do not show” with “Don’t set value”.

New formula for the ‘Input Translation’ of the ‘$Pref$DISCOVER_HOMEPAGE’ field on the ‘PolicyDesktop’ form:

REM {SocEdHome=“0” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;SocEdHome=“0” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“2”;SocEdHome=“1” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;SocEdHome=“1” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“2”;SocEdHome=“2” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;SocEdHome=“2” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“4”;@ThisValue);
@If(tmpOut=“”;“2”;tmpOut) };

REM { changed the above to allow for the default homepage to be loaded };

tmpOut:=@If(
SocEdHome=“0” & SocEdHome$HA=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA = “1”;“1”;
SocEdHome=“0” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;
SocEdHome=“0” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“2”;
SocEdHome=“1” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;
SocEdHome=“1” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“2”;
SocEdHome=“2” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“5” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE$HA != “1”;“5”;
SocEdHome=“2” & SocEdHome$HA!=“1” & tmpDISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=“”;“4”;
@ThisValue);
@If(tmpOut=“”;“2”;tmpOut)

Thanks Lucien,

I changed notes.ini parameter $Pref$DISCOVER_HOMEPAGE from 2 to 1 and here it goes.

Normally, there is a check box somewhere to close the page next time, no ?

Hi Jean-Pierre,

great to see it helps you, but please be aware that when the client’s preferences are set via policy, the notes.ini setting may revert back to $DISCOVER_HOMEPAGE=2

Thanks again,

Your last comment now allows me to better understand the solution you explained at first.

I will therefore put it quickly in practice.
