How do you get the name of the current View/Folder in Scene_Actions_Lite function

I want to get the current view/folder name so I can conditionally add menu items based on the current folder. We have a process that adds folders to users mailboxes with special tags on the end of their names. I need to look at those tags to determin what menu items I want to add.

In 7.0 it was easy to tell by simply looking at the s_ViewLabel variable.

This variable is does not seem to exist in lite mode.

Subject: That does not seem to work for shaired folders

It does give the folder name for the Inbox, but when you call it when the current folder is a custome one it just gives a sequence of hexidecimal digits (unique identifier for the folder perhaps). Is there something else I need to do to get the actual folder name from this?

Sorry about the delayed responce as I have been working on other things.

Subject: sTitle property

Hi Clarence,

For non-system folders, using sTitle property instead of Cd property will give you the folder name.

Subject: Doh?!

How did I miss that in your wiki artical?

I will try that when I get back to that project (expecting it to work).

Subject: sTitle is always undefined?

well that does not work either?Here is exactly what I am calling:

var oPanelManager = AAA.Fkb();

var sContentId = EPx.get('p-e-panelmanager-currentselected').BoB;

var folderName = (/^(home|mail|calendar|todo|contacts|notebook)$/i).test(oPanelManager.EZV(sContentId)) ? 	oPanelManager.getContent(sContentId).sTitle : '';

folderName always ends up with the value undefined?

Subject: Should be there

Hi Clarence,

Not sure why you couldn’t get the result you wanted, but I quickly tried to navigate to a folder in left-hand pane and then ran the following code (in an interactive pane in JavaScript debugger, etc.), and I got the name of the folder:

(function(){ var oPanelManager = AAA.Fkb(); var sContentId = AAA.DSq.EPx.get(‘p-e-panelmanager-currentselected’).BoB; return (/^(home|mail|calendar|todo|contacts|notebook)$/i).test(oPanelManager.EZV(sContentId)) ? oPanelManager.getContent(sContentId).sTitle : ‘’; })()

Best regards,

Subject: I got it working

I accedentally copied the modified Forms85.ntf from a 8.5 Domino server to an 8.5.1 Domino server and that seemed to be the problem (I thought they were both 8.5 servers).

I have it working in a simple Forms85_x.nsf, now I just need to put it all our other needed changes.
