DWA - Person document

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

My question is regarding DWA and retrieving the Person document when selecting a user from the Address Book dialog box. Here are the steps:

  1. Create new message.

  2. Select ‘To’ button. The address book dialog box appears.

  3. Select a person. Click on ‘Details’ button to show person document.

Currently, the Person document does not show the cell phone number field, which is one of the regular fields when you open the address book from the client.

How do I add the cell phone number field to the DWA person document? I have looked at Forms85.nsf and some of the customization articles on the IBM site but have not found exactly where to do this.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Mike

For more information on customization of iNotes, check the iNotes Customization section of the Lotus Notes and Domino wiki. In particular, check out this article.

The design element for the Address Fields dialog is the s_AddressDetails form in the Forms85 file. The fields themselves are specified in the s_AddressDetailsFields subform. If you look in s_AddressDetailsFields you’ll see an object called aDetailInfoFieldNamesPerson. You can add an element to that object for the cell phone number.

Something like this:

,{sLabel:“Cell Phone:”, sField:“CellPhoneNumber”, bIsAbbreviate:false}

Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I modified this subform but the change did not seem to take into effect. I also changed the logo on the Custom_Banner subform but that did not show up either.

I assume the mail design automatically looks into the inotes/forms85.nsf database for these changes. Is there a way I can check to see if everything is tied together properly?

Thanks,

Mike

Eric,

Please disregard the previous post. I was able to get the address details to work properly. Thanks again for your help!

Regarding the IBM logo on the main DWA page, I noticed that it comes from the ‘transparent.gif’ file. However, switching that file to our own graphic affects other parts of the interface. Do you have any tips on how to modify that cleanly?

Regards,

Mike

The logo is specified in the subform Custom_Banner_Lite.

Instead of replacing transparent.gif, use a completely different image file. You can add a new file to the Resources / Files section of the Forms85 file. Then, in Custom_Banner_Lite, refer to your new file instead of transparent.gif. If you do that, you should set the width and height attributes to the size of your bitmap, and remove the xoffset and yoffset attributes.

You can also replace the tag in Custom_Banner_Lite with your own. But doing so will eliminate the “Ctrl-click to display the About box” functionality.

Alternately, you can replace the entire contents of the tag with your own HTML. But do not remove the table> tag. This is needed for proper placement of the logo on the page.
