MailTo and googlemap on XPage

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello There,

We have recently started developing in Domino XPages, have to say, it is a big improvement on 6.5.

We have developed a simple Directory in XPages and would like to do the following:

  • Change the Mail Address value so its clickable and will open email client to send mail (“MailTo:”)

  • As we have a full street address for each person in the directory, we would like to embed a GoogleMap, with a pin showing the person’s location.

  • The search feature when it thows up suggested entries only seems to work with first name, is there an option to allow wildcards ( * grant)?

I understand that XPages is brand new, but is there anyone here who could point us in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Google mashup example

Tim Tripcony posted an example of creating an XPage & Google weather widget mashup. I’m sure the concept can be reused for displaying a google map, Here’s the link: http://www.timtripcony.com/blog.nsf/d6plinks/TTRY-7PVJQU

Subject: mailto links

Use the ‘link’ control to turn the email address into a clickable link. You can set the href to a computed value to build the mailto: link, just don’t forget to include the mailto: bit.

You may have to go to the all properties to section set ‘escape’ to false. I haven’t tested it but I’ll try figure it out and cover it on my blog this week.
