Hi,- We are currently trying to distriute welcome pages for the company in Notes 6.5.1. One for each division. However we are having problems. We have customized the page “workplace” by inserting an other image and giving it another name - thats all. The problem is, that when the policy is applied in the client, I get this error “Formula must evaluate to text”, og the company image is not displayed. Apparently the reason is, that in the view PersPage there are now 2 documents with the title ng-banner. When I delete the document with the Lotus image, it is working nicely. Anybody ever expirienced that? And do you perhaps know what to do about it?
Subject: Corporate Welcome page problem
Granted this is late for Karen, but I had the same problem, so I thought I’d post info for anyone who has this problem in the future.
The error comes when you are using the Workplace as your welcome page. This uses the frameset called “ng-banner” which displays based on this code:
REM {get Notes URL of branding document;
REM {DNT};
tUNID := @GetProfileField(“CurrentLayout”; “CurrentLayoutKey”);
view := “PersPage”;
key := “ng-branding”;
getunid := @DbLookup(“”:“NoCache”; “”; view; key; 2);
“Notes:////” + view + “/” + getUNID + “?OpenDocument”
The problem occurs because now there are two documents with the same form name ng-banner in the PersPage view. The dblookup returns the value as a list with some type of value separator (most likely a space) which causes the remaining formula to error out.
I know, I know, a lot of blather. The resolution is what has already been proposed - Delete the document which contains the image you don’t want (more than likely the first image which would be the IBM logo).
You could create code to delete the doc if needed on a large scale or open up the bookmark.nsf in a designer client, go to the view “(Home Pages and Links)” or “PersPage” is the alias. Preview the view in Notes and then delete the older document (usually IBM logo)
