Creating CFD fields

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hello, I’m trying to enable viewing images by default on HTML emails, found the solution:

“a field named $DelayedImagesOK set to the value “ok” would display the inline images”

“it is enough to add the field as a Computed for Display field to the form, with the value of “ok”, to make Notes display the images on document open”

( here: bananahome.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com )

But, I have another problem. Where do I create this CFD (computed for display) field on the HTML email? I searched Google and found nothing about CFD fields, can someone show me the code? How it is? How can I create this field? Where do I put?

I’m lost.

Thanks.

Subject: Forget the computed for display fields

You don’t want a computed for display field in this context - you want an actual field embedded in the email itself. I don’t know if that will work, necessarily, but a CFD field will be of no use whatsoever, given that you have absolutely no way of presenting it to the user.

Subject: Show Images function

Yeah that’s exactly what I need Chuck.

I thought that a CFD field was like a input-text field on html. But I’m wrong.

So there’s no way to enable the user to see the images by the email. I mean, without the user choosing to see using the mouse or the changing the default setting on the client.

I found this solution:

But it’s all about the CFD field and something called Whitelist, a function. I dunno how to use that on a HTML email.

:frowning:

I’m lost.

Subject: The setting can be pushed out to users via Policy

The option to display images can be set via Policy - and pushed out to all users.

I don’t want to offend you - but I think that you’re trying to make this harder than it needs to be.

Are you the administrator or one of the Lotus users? Or are you outside the company and trying to point them in the direction to resolve this?

Click File > Preferences > Click the plus sign beside Mail, and then click Internet.

Is the ‘Do not show remote images without my permission check box to display remote images in Internet mail’ field checked?

Subject: CFD example

Hi, I know about that option. But the ‘problem’ is not me, but the users that will receive the HTML email and read it on their Lotus Notes.

I just want to know how a CFD field works, I need some examples. I can’t find anywhere.

Thanks for the response.

Subject: Found a solution yet?

It really doesn’t matter if the field is CFD or not, I’ve found – just create it with ReplaceItemValue() in LotusScript and you should be fine.
