Hi,
I have the following challenge. A page with an embedded view. The embedded view shows single category (based on another lookup), and has a second category (approx 400) and then the individual documents (approx 14’000).
There were some performance issues reported, and on looking into this, found that the entire view was loading, hence performance was not great. I have had a look into this and added previous and next buttons, and would also like to add some additional navigation tools.
I have thought of a couple of ways to do this. Bearing in mind that this is a double categorised view, I have problems using the alphabetical navigation tool as explained in an old iris document. Have thought about trying to add manual buttons of 1-50, 51-100, 101-150, 151-200 and so on, up the the total. However the only way I think I can work the total category numbers out would be via LS - which I cannot do as I am on the web. [problem 1]
In addition to this, I would like to create the Lotus Notes view in HTML (with the twisties etc), and fixed column width, where it remembers location in view when a document is viewed, but does not alter the width of the columns and headers when categories are expanded. I find I get the view working coded in HTML, but then loose the context if I return to the view from a document, if I use the standard formatting from the notes client then everything works well except for the moving html headers. [problem 2]
Has anyone come cross a good resource to get more info on navigation over the web? I have been looking here, sandbox, openntf etc but have not yet found a good resource to learn from to address these issues.
Regards,
Al
