Lotusscript logic for repeating calendar options, but in separate app - lotus-notes

I need to use the "repeat options" subform in the mail file in an application that tracks our implementations.
I have looked at the code behind this in the mail file, but it is way too complex for my needs, as I just want the whole logic on how to get the various dates/times I need to create a document for. I have seen some calls to a method, generateRepeatDatesExt(), but I did a search and couldn't find any trace of it.
Anyone knows where that thing is hidden? Or better, anyone has a sample app that creates repeating dates that use the repeat options found in the mail file?
Any help, pointers, samples are welcomed!!!
Thanks a lot...

I found a really nice demo application that does exactly what I need, and it was done by Julian Robichaux a while back. Details and sample file can be found here: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/NotesTips.htm#repeatdates

NetSuite Saved Search Print Criteria Information

I would like to be able to print the Criteria information that I used in the footer of the PDF of a Saved Search. I have tried looking at making an Advanced PDF to handle this, but I cannot find the field to pull in the criteria information into either the Saved Search or the Advanced PDF. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have created a Saved Search in NetSuite that displays all of the Inventory Receipts made the previous week. We have to print this Saved Search and check it against the actual paper receipts to verify counts and receipts. When the Saved Search prints to PDF it does not show the criteria information for which the Saved Search was run to prove to Internal Audit that we have run this report for the correct dates. I would like a way to print the Criteria information for this Saved Search along with a timestamp of when the Saved Search was run and the users that ran the Saved Search. Is there a way to pull in this additional information in a Saved Search or Advanced PDF somehow?
add a custom Print button
button goes to a suitlet that renders the PDF
before you render, load the search and pass the search.filters in to addCustomDataSource() api of the render module
Ok, I read your edit and comment with regard to my comment. There's three big things here.
I don't think you should pursue a dev route with this. You can schedule the report for automated email once a day and prove that it came from a saved search which is the same saved search every time. This will save you an infinite amount of hassle
Developing this as your first script is going to be hard. I'm happy to help. But when I tell you it's going to be a lot of code, I mean it. See this old post I did https://stackoverflow.com/a/61066928/11323304
If you still want to pursue a dev route with this (which is totally fine), start with emulating the user event code on a custom suitelet like I posted above in my answer. You're going to need N/serverWidget/ui N/search and N/xml. The rest is all in the UserEvent functions and global context variable.
If all this still goes well over your head. Don't sweat it. Comment back, and we'll build something step by step. But, I highly, highly, highly encourage you to check out the automated email capabilities of NetSuite before trying to develop something special.

SharePoint Online chart

I would like to display a graph on the home page of my sharepoint online site. I can add in a quick chart but it does not fit my requirements.
Basically, I have a task logger where i log all incoming tasks, they are assigned a status - closed, completed, in progress, on hold, and pending.
I would like to display this visually on the home page so we can see how many tasks per status.
I think the x axis would the status and the y axis would be the value.
I'm not sure how to achieve this? i've seen multiple examples of coding for this but being inexperienced in coding, i'm not sure how to amend or adapt the codes for my requirements.
If someone could please provide a solution or have any ideas, that would be greatly appreciated.
We can use the solution below from GitHub to achieve it.
Modern Charts
Or we can use modern script editor web part with chart js plugin and REST API to achieve your requirement.
In classic site page, we can use script/content editor web part with custom JavaScript code to achieve it.
If You don't plan to code the solution I would suggest two different then quick chart webpart approaches:
File Viewer webpart - You could create some excel file to store all Your task list there. This file could be stored on some document library. The excel file could have data in one tab and chart in other. Using File viewer You could add this excel file on any SharePoint page. On one Page You could present the tab to change data (tasks), on other the tab that has the chart. I know..a bit of a workaround but this is one of the simplest solutions I thought of without coding :)
Power BI- this tool for sure may will fit any needs as in this tool You may do almost anything. Of Course You need Power BI server for this. You may create any chart/report with this also from data taken directly from SharePoint
Hope this will be of any help to You

Saving to multiple lists from 1 sharepoint 2007 list form

I have a request form I'm working on, wherein different departemnts need to be able to update it. To minimize overlap and lost changes I'd like to be able to submit data from the new form to different lists, but I cannot find a way to do this.
Does anyone have any experience trying to do anything similar?
If you're familiar with JQuery andSPServices I could envisage a way to do this.
In the EditForm.aspx, add the JQuery and SPServices libraries. using the $.(document).Ready function, I'd do a quick item update with the SPServices and just copy a column with the same data, so in effect no change looks to have taken place. I'd add in the edit comments something like "Pseduo checkout to [name], [date_time]".
Then allow the user to edit the form as normal but in the code you've added, you trap the PreSave Action and check that the person trying to do the save is the same as the last modified - if it is, save as normal, otherwise, return false on the PreSave and it will be denied. When you actually allow the save, set the edit comments to something sensible.
To complete this, check before doing the pseudo checkout, that the last comments don't contain the psuedo checkout phrase so that you can prevent anyone opening/editing the form whilst somebody else is in the middle of an edit.
This gives a cheap and relatievly easy to implement Check-In/Check-Out for a list. Not perfect of course but should work well in most scenarios (not in datasheet though, so you might need to prevent that type of edit).
If you have two lists would you not then have the problem of potentially two requests for the same thing?
Does none of the version control options for the list solve the problem of potentially multiple concurrent editors?
While SPService is certainly a solution, but you will have to build a UI of ur own.
Try writing a event receiver, which can copy over item to another list as soon as it is created.
It will be nice if you can tell why you really want to have a copy of item in another list
i.e. Auditing purpose etc. , you can get a perfect solution for this in Forum

Export list of Sitecore items as Excel (or other formats)

I noticed that sitecore has the option of exporting users in an Excel format.
I need to have similar functionality for exporting 'participations', (a users can enlist to take part in an 'event', and if their entry is approved via a sitecore workflow, a 'participation' item is created in the content tree)
Since mostly everything in Sitecore is in essence based on items, and I want to export items to Excel, my question is - what are some of the best ways of doing this?
Questions:
Is there a way to re-use this functionality for regular items?
Would it be a good idea to create a custom admin page (any tips on doing this?) which has some custom code that reads the items from the database using the API?
are there sitecore plugins/shared source projects that can help me achieve this?
Or does anyone have a better idea? - would it be better to just store the participations in SQL? I'm mostly doing it this way because I want to make use of the 'free' functionality offers, for example workflow, but if that leads to me using anti-patterns please shoot me ;)
Link is different now: https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/Advanced_System_Reporter.aspx
P.S. Couldn't leave a comment to original answer as I don't have enough reputation. Oh well :)
Found a most excellent shared source module which does exactly this (and much more)!
Basically it allows you to configure (and easily extend, if you need to) any kind of table based report on 'items'.
The report module shows up as an application in the sitecore menu (like the user manager tool) and comes with features such as xml,csv, xls export. It's also really easy to set up, once you get the hang of it.

How to get Google page rank and number of searches in Excel sheet?

I have a link in one column and, based on it, I want
Number of Google searches in column 2
Page rank of first result in column 3
I know this can be done, as I saw a friend pulling google search result right in Excel. If anyone knows, please share how I could do that.
If I correctly interpret your question, one of the tasks you had to do is
How do I get programmatically the Google page rank for a list of URLs?
You can find the code to do this in this CodeProject article:
Request Google´s Pagerank programmatically
Regarding the Excel part: it depends which programming framework or platforms you could use. You could use to create a .NET extension for Excel using the Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office.
From Excel there is Data->Get External Data->New Web Query. Is this what you want?
You have two options, both of which are unfortunately poorly documented.
If you are comfortable in C/C++, you can write a special DLL called an "XLL" that you can call during Excel runtime. There is some sparse documentation available. Note that this stuff isn't very fun to use.
If you prefer .NET, there is a binding for the entire Office suite outlined here that allows you to write COM-based methods that you can call from Office. It is intended for automation, but you can write any managed code you want and have Excel call into it.
There is also what Remou just suggested; I don't actually own a copy of Excel to test that out, but it may be the easiest option.
By link i meant keywords and not URL. I want to put a keyword in one cell and pull number of searches and page rank in adjacent cells.
I tried doing the same with web query in excel but i can only reach till the number of searches. that too not in the proper cell (trying to figure out). But i have no clue about how to get the pageranks.
I am not that tech savvy to code a binder or plugin for myself. Although i am checking the link by splattne. Please focus more light on it. Is it gonna be time consuming if i try to make this one..?

There are some nice plugins for this (in various languages) on GitHub:

I have a PR checker functions in my Excel plugin "SeoTools".
