I've got a view control which opens an xpage. When the xpage opens, the beforePageLoad event fires. It checks to see if there are any attachments in a particular field of the document being opened and if there are, it returns list of the filenames. This was working fine. Then, I was asked to change what's displayed in one of the columns of the view. I added a variable to the view control's data section to access the row. I then added some javascript to the column to display the data differently. That worked and it displayed the data as wanted. However, when I now click on the link to open the xpage, when the beforePageLoad event fires, the code that's there now fails. It fails with this error at the starred line:
Script interpreter error, line=9, col=49: 'closureField' is null at
[/Function_ReturnListOfClosureAttachmentNames.jss].ReturnListOfClosureAttachmentNames(CCEB1351591847CB85257E7C005EF68C)
function ReturnListOfClosureAttachmentNames(ltDoc ){
var closureAttachmentFileNames = "";
var thisLT = ltDoc;
var closureField:NotesRichTextItem = thisLT.getFirstItem("closeAttachments");
*>>> var eos:java.util.Vector = closureField.getEmbeddedObjects();<<<
var eosi:java.util.Iterator = eos.iterator();
while (eosi.hasNext()) {
var eo:NotesEmbeddedObject = eosi.next();
closureAttachmentFileNames = closureAttachmentFileNames +","+eo.getName();
}
return closureAttachmentFileNames;
}
I call this function from the beforePageLoad event and pass it currentDocument.getDocument(). I think I might have lost the document context after changing the column display data from 'view column' to 'computed value' but I'm not sure. Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks!

Figured it out: When I assigned a variable to the view, when you click on a linked column in that view, it loads the current ViewEntry into the context and not a current document. So I put the unid of the doc from the selected ViewEntry in an application scope variable and returned it to the Document Id property when I open the xPage. I have to now update all my views but there aren't too many luckily. Thanks for working through this with me!

I am adding a site column into a document library default view and want it to be visible/shown when you click onto the list itself. However, I am unsure on how to do this. The code I have so far
// Get the view (this is the default view)
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.View v = Employeecvlist.GetViewByName("All Documents");
// Load it up
clientContext.Load(v, x => x.ViewFields);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
// Get the field I want to add to the view
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Field name =
Employeecvlist.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("Name");
clientContext.Load(name);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
// Add this field to the view !! Nothing else in the view object to allow to make it visible by default !!
v.ViewFields.Add(name.InternalName);
// Finally, update the view
v.Update();
If you look at the image file below, I basically want to be able to check the "display" checkbox to true for the above field.
Can someone point me into the right direction?
Thanks
You need to perform clientContext.ExecuteQuery() again to persist the changes. Also, there's no need to do it twice to load your objects, load everything you need and then get it from the server:
//Put following line in the using section
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
//Your code
View v = Employeecvlist.GetViewByName("All Documents");
Field name = Employeecvlist.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("Name");
clientContext.Load(v, x => x.ViewFields);
clientContext.Load(name);
v.ViewFields.Add(name.InternalName);
v.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
I've 4 fields as shown below:
radioGroup1 is required if comboBox2 value and radioGroup4 & radio1 are blank. The validation message is suppose to go away if only one of 3 radio's is selected
If I select radioGroup1 or radio1 and update page, the validation message does not display.
If I select radioGroup4 and update page, the validation message is still displayed.
Here is a screen shot:
Here is a validation code for radioGroup1:
var comboBox2:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspSelectOneMenu = getComponent("comboBox2");
var radio1:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspInputRadio = getComponent("radio1");
var radioGroup4:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspSelectOneRadio = getComponent("radioGroup4");
var radioGroup3:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspSelectOneRadio = getComponent("radioGroup3");
if(comboBox2.getValue()!==''){
if(radioGroup3.getValue()==null){
if(radioGroup4.getValue()==null && radio1.getValueAsString()==''){
return true;
}else {
return false;
}
}
}
In second image there is a computed field capturing value of radioGroup4.
What am I doing wrong? When page is refreshed, radioGroup4.getValue() works in computed field but not in the validation script for radioGroup3.
When any one of 3 radio control selected, the other two are disabled thru script and it is working without any issue.
Resolved this issue as follows:
radioGroup4 was executing script and doing full update in the onChange event. Changed it to onClick event
It need two clicks in the radioGroup4 and required message for radioGroup3 vanishes.
This is not a perfect solution but I've to leave with it until I found perfect one.
I followed How do you copy a datetime field from the current document to a new document and I try something like this:
Cdoc.save();
Pdoc.copyItem(Cdoc.getDocument().getFirstItem("mytest1"));
getComponent('exampleDialog').show()
But I get a handling error message.
Thanks for your time!
Assuming Cdoc and Pdoc are defined as xp:dominoDocument data sources then you have to change your code to:
Cdoc.save();
Pdoc.getDocument().copyItem(Cdoc.getDocument().getFirstItem("mytest1"));
getComponent('exampleDialog').show()
So, you only need to add .getDocument() to Pdoc to get the Notes Document. Otherwise it fails and you get the error "Error calling method 'copyItem(lotus.domino.local.Item)' on an object of type 'NotesXspDocument'".
Keep in mind that you have to save Pdoc after copying item too if you want to show the copied item in your exampleDialog.
If you don't want to save document Pdoc at this point yet then you can copy the item on NotesXspDocument level with just:
Pdoc.replaceItemValue("mytest1", Cdoc.getItemValueDateTime("mytest1"));
getComponent('exampleDialog').show()
I do not often use "copyItem". You are not specifying if you are using NotesDocuments or NotesXspDocuments, so I will write a quick thing about both because they should be handled differently.
var currentDoc:NotesDocument = ....
var newDoc:NotesDocument= ...
newDoc.replaceItemValue("fldname", currentDoc.getItemValueDateTimeArray("fldname").elementAt(0))
if currentDoc is a NotesXspDocument, use the following
var currentDoc:NotesXspDocument = ...
var newDoc:NotesDocument=...
newDoc.replaceItemValue("fldname", currentDoc.getItemValueDateTime("fldname"))
Otherwise, you could continue trying with copyItem, I just lack experience with it.
EDIT
Just some things to add, remember that putting calling xspDoc.getDocument(true) will update the background document and this might be needed. Also, in the comments for that article you posted, they mentioned the possible need to put that document into another variable.
var docSource:NotesDocument = xspDoc.getDocument(true);
var docNew:NotesDocument = ...
docNew.copyItem(docSource.getItem("blah");
Also remember that copyItem is a function of NotesDocument and not NotesXspDocument.
I have created an XPage with the following: Started by creating a custom layout control using the Application Layout. I aded the layout control to the xpage and then dropped in a Dynamic Content Control. I configured the control as follows:
<xe:dynamicContent id="dynamicContent1" defaultFacet="GovernanceReviews"
useHash="true">
<xp:this.facets>
<xc:ccViewDocumentTemplates xp:key="DocumentTemplates"></xc:ccViewDocumentTemplates>
<xc:ccViewGovProcurementReviews xp:key="GovProcurementReviews"></xc:ccViewGovProcurementReviews>
<xc:ccViewGovRevReporting xp:key="GovRevReporting"></xc:ccViewGovRevReporting>
<xc:ccViewGovRevWOCompleted xp:key="GovRevWOCompleted"></xc:ccViewGovRevWOCompleted>
<xc:ccViewGovernanceReviews xp:key="GovernanceReviews"></xc:ccViewGovernanceReviews>
<xc:ccViewProfilesByType xp:key="ProfilesByType"></xc:ccViewProfilesByType>
<xc:ccViewProfilesWithTargetCompl xp:key="ProfilesWithTargetCompl"></xc:ccViewProfilesWithTargetCompl>
<xc:ccViewLastUpdated xp:key="LastUpdated"></xc:ccViewLastUpdated>
<xc:ccViewUserGuide xp:key="UserGuide"></xc:ccViewUserGuide>
<xc:ccViewTracking xp:key="Tracking"></xc:ccViewTracking>
</xp:this.facets>
</xe:dynamicContent>
Then I dropped in a navigator control in the left column and created BasicLeafNodes to correspond to the dynamic content control I used the href property and used the #content="" to display the correct content.
This works just fine, but I am having problems figuring out how to make the selections in the navigator highlight when they are selected. I know I need to compute the Selectd property,but I can't figure out how to get the xp:key value so I can compare it to the SubmitValue. I know this is probably something simple, but I can't figure it out.
Can someone please enlighten me.
Thanks,
MJ
ADDED 03/26/2014 - I have a feeling that it has something to do with Using the href property of the Dynamic Content Control to perform the content switching. I know that makes the BasicLeafNodes Links. So, not sure how the Navigator records which link is being executed and how to capture that.
MJ
Add a value is the submitValue property
And in the onItemClick Event
Assign the submitted value to a viewScope variable
viewScope.Selected=context.getSubmittedValue()
And finally check if the viewScope variable equals your item submit value in the selected property. This needs to be calculated
if(viewScope.Selected="byCategory"){
return true
}else{
return false
}
The following is working for me:
if(viewScope.Selected == "byCategory"){
return true
} else{
return false
}
An equality test must be made with two equal symbols (or three). One equal symbol evidently always returns true.
I did it by jQuery. Just put the following code to the custom control, which contains navigator.
$( function() {
if (window.location.hash.length > 0) {
select()
}
});
$(window).on('hashchange', function() {
select();
});
function select() {
$(".lotusColLeft .lotusMenu .lotusBottomCorner li").removeClass(
"lotusSelected")
$(".lotusColLeft .lotusMenu .lotusBottomCorner li a")
.filter(
function() {
return window.location.hash.indexOf($(this).attr(
'href')) > -1
}).parent().addClass("lotusSelected")
}
How do you set a richText value with replaceItemValue from a rich tect control?
I found this bit of code here:
http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/martin/entry/save_a_richtext_field_from_a_xpage_to_a_document?lang=en_us
var doc = configuratieformulieren.getDocumentByKey("ConfiguratieIVNL", true);
if(doc == null){
return;
}else{
var titel = getComponent("inputTextIBPTitelIVNL").getValue();
doc.replaceItemValue("IBPTitel",titel);
var inhoud = getComponent("inputRichTextIBPInhoudIVNL").getValue();
if (inhoud != null){
var contentType = doc.getMIMEEntity("IBPInhoud").getContentType();
var encoding = doc.getMIMEEntity("IBPInhoud").getEncoding();
var str = session.createStream();
inhoud.toString();
str.writeText(inhoud.toString());
doc.getMIMEEntity("IBPInhoud").setContentFromText(str, contentType, encoding);
}
doc.save(true, true);
}
sessionScope.put("FormulierIVNLInfoBeschPG","Lezen");
Is it correct? It looks like this code depends on the fact that the field already exists. How id this handled if the field does not exist? Is there and easier way to set a field value to the contents of a rich text control?
Let data sources do the heavy lifting. For a long and boring (but thorough) explanation of why, read this article. But here's the quick version:
Don't use:
getComponent("someID").getValue()
Instead, use:
someDataSource.getValue("someFieldName")
This is always a more efficient way to access data: instead of having to spider through the component tree to locate a match, it goes straight to the data source, which the component would have to ask anyway if you asked it what its value is.
Similarly, don't use:
someDataSource.replaceItemValue("someFieldName", someValue)
Instead, use:
someDataSource.setValue("someFieldName", someValue)
The latter is much more flexible on input type. The data source already contains all the logic for determining what to do based on whether the value is text, date, number, rich text, file upload, etc. No need to duplicate any of that logic in your own code.
So if the goal is to update a separate document based on data in the current document, just define a separate document data source that points to the document you want to update. Then it's literally this simple:
configData.setValue("RichTextData", currentDocument.getValue("RichTextData"));
configData.save();
With the above code, if the field you specify on the current document is rich text, then the item it creates on the other document will be rich text. If it's any other type on the current document, it will be the same type on the other document. With getValue() and setValue(), you don't have to pay attention to the data type... the data source handles all of that for you.
For bonus points, scope configData to applicationScope so that any updates to it are immediately cached for all users... or sessionScope if the document you're updating is user-specific.
I was able to solve my orginal issue. To expand on my issue I was having problems with using a dialog box to create Form / Document B from Form / Document A using a dialog box on Form A. What was happening was any changes to Form B would be saved to Document A's datasource.
I found the ingoreRequestParams on Form B's datasource, set it and that solved my problem with Form B writing to Form A document.
