Notes URL for composite application

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I want to link to a particular document in Lotus Notes but pass a variable to the notes url.

To access the document through the web I can get it to work but I want to launch it through the Notes client.

Here is the web url that works correctly…

https://web.domain.com/dbname.nsf/Active+Projects/27311.00?OpenDocument

The above will open my doc fine in a browser but I want to open in the Notes client so I tried…

Notes://servername/dbname.nsf/Active+Projects/27311.00?OpenDocument

the above won’t work but if I only go as far as the view name it works fine…

This one works to open the view…

Notes://servername/dbname.nsf/Active+Projects

Does anyone know how to open the document without having to get the DocUNID and export to my other application?

Thanks!

Subject: That type of URL will not work for a Notes url

A workaround would be to have a frameset with two frames. One frame would hold a page that has an action. This action will get the published property, 27311.00 in this case, and then open the document in the other frame. The frame with the page would be hidden so it is never seen (just resize it in Domino Designer.)

I am not sure if there is anything in the composite app library on openntf to help in this case.

That might work. With the published propert can I push the number as being different each time.

One time it may be 27311.00 another time it will be 25221.00?

If so is this how the coding works

Notes://servername/dbname.nsf/NewFrameset?OpenFrameset/27311.00

Per my post, you have to use the composite application editor to publish the property that has your desired lookup number. Then wire that property to the action that you create on the page that is in the hidden frame of the frameset. That LotusScript action does the work of getting the Notes document that corresponds to the lookup number and then opens the document in the other frame of the frameset.

We cover this in our course.

See module 5 on composite apps.

This works fine as long all the way down to the document level - as you aren’t running Notes 8.x eclipse - one of the many reasons I run Basic - if I have to run 8.x
