SlideShow in Domino xPages using Dojo?

Hi,

I want to create a SlideShow from a set of documents in Domino view. The view is categorized on Date. So everyday the SlideShow should contain those documents which are categorized on that date.

Ours is Domino 8.5.1. Can i do this in xPages using Dojo or is there any other better way to do this?

Thanks.

It’s probably going to be easier in XPages than any other way, because the dojo 1.3.2 files are already on the server and it’s easier to manipulate a view and its documents. You will need to add the dojoModule(s) as a resource to your XPage, and set dojoParseOnLoad to true and dojoTheme to true in the All Properties box. You can refine the DominoView data element by setting properties for the key to the current days date and keysExactMatch to true. This will mean you’re immediately just returning documents for the current day’s date. Using a repeat control you can use whatever data you wish from the documents.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your response.

I’m new to xPages. Is there any IBM’s turorial available on the web? Also i can’t open the Help from the DDE. It shows that the requested URL is not found. Is the DDE help available online?

Thanks

Subject: Search this site for XPAGES TUTORIAL

I’ve found a couple online at this site. Unfortunately, none of them seem to work very well for me, though I believe this is an issue with security since I am testing in preview on my workstation only and believe the problem is related to ECL preventing pages I have signed to load (getting http 404 errors) even though my id has full permissions on the desktop. I am suspending xpage development learning and testing until I get a test server to work on.

I would suggest search and download the tutorials you find, but be aware of this potential problem.
