In Lotus Notes there is a simple way to access the directory from where to select some persons /users from a names field: ( this field is having Use Address dialog for choices for Choices )
I create a <xe:namePicker> to open the ( local ) names.nsf from where I can select/add some users:
<xe:namePicker id="namePicker1" for="djTextarea5">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:dominoNABNamePicker groups="false"
nameList="peopleByLastName" addressBookDb="names.nsf"
addressBookSel="db-name">
</xe:dominoNABNamePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:namePicker>
Is there any chance I can choose from this xe:namePicker the above Lotus Notes places/directories as well in XPages?
Thanks for your time.
Use the xe:namePickerAggregator to add your address books to a list shown as drop down list in name picker:
<xe:namePicker id="namePicker1" for="djTextarea5">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:namePickerAggregator>
<xe:this.dataProviders>
<xe:dominoNABNamePicker groups="false"
nameList="peopleByLastName" addressBookDb="names.nsf"
addressBookSel="db-name">
</xe:dominoNABNamePicker>
<xe:dominoNABNamePicker groups="false"
nameList="peopleByLastName" addressBookDb="namesOther.nsf"
addressBookSel="db-name">
</xe:dominoNABNamePicker>
...
</xe:this.dataProviders>
</xe:namePickerAggregator>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:namePicker>

I have an app I am build which will allow the users to enter the approvers for each document manually. I wanted to put this in a repeat control instead of hard coding all the fields in the xpage. All is working as I want, except the names are stored in the document in the Canonical format. I don't want to present this to the user, I want to just show the Abbreviated name. I can't seem to get it working. Below is my repeat. I want to put and #name around the value of ApproverName_#
Thanks in Advance

Use the Dojo Name Text Box instead of Input Field. It prevents typing, gives a better UX for removing entries, and does what you want out-of-the-box.
Is there any equivalent for lotus notes Dialog list in xpages? Or, if it's possible, an xpage combobox ''which accepts'' multiple values selected.
Thanks for your time
Use a xe:djextListTextBox to collect and show multiple values, use xe:valuePicker to add values from an existing list to ListTextBox and use optionally a button to prompt for a new value and to add it to ListTextBox.
This is an example for xe:djextListTextBox and xe:valuePicker:
<xe:djextListTextBox
id="djextListTextBox1"
multipleSeparator=","
multipleTrim="true"
defaultValue="abc,def"
value="#{viewScope.test}">
</xe:djextListTextBox>
<xe:valuePicker
id="valuePicker1"
for="djextListTextBox1"
pickerText="Add">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker>
<xe:this.valueList><![CDATA[#{javascript:
["abc","def","ghj","klm","nop","xyz"]
}]]></xe:this.valueList>
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
I like this approach as it is for the user easy to add and to delete values and it looks good.
An alternative is the combination of xp:inputText and xe:valuePicker:
<xp:inputText
id="inputText1"
multipleSeparator=","
value="#{viewScope.test}"
defaultValue="abc,def">
</xp:inputText>
<xe:valuePicker
id="valuePicker1"
for="inputText1">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker>
<xe:this.valueList><![CDATA[#{javascript:
["abc","def","ghj","klm","nop","xyz"]
}]]></xe:this.valueList>
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
Users can add their own new values as the InputText field is editable. This approach might be a good solution if new values are allowed and users know how to edit values considering the multiple separator.
In case you'd like to have each value in a separate line you can use xe:djTextarea and set multipleSeparator to newline:
<xe:djTextarea
id="djTextarea1"
multipleSeparator="#{javascript:'\n'}"
value="#{viewScope.test}"
defaultValue="#{javascript:['abc','def']}"
cols="30">
</xe:djTextarea>
<xe:valuePicker
id="valuePicker1"
for="djTextarea1">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker>
<xe:this.valueList><![CDATA[#{javascript:
["abc","def","ghj","klm","nop","xyz"]
}]]></xe:this.valueList>
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
The text box grows and shrinks with the number of selected values automatically.
The ValuePicker control in the Extension Library provides the Dialog List functionality, but not with the "Allow values not in list" functionality.
I'm trying to use the valuePicker XPages Extension Library control. I realize that you can hold down the Control button to select multiple values at a time, but is there a way to add the ability to select all values/options? Thanks for any help.
<xp:inputText id="example" multipleSeparator=","></xp:inputText>
<xe:valuePicker for="example" pickerText="Choose option">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker
valueList="Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4, Option 5"
valueListSeparator=",">
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
I'm using a the extension library value picker to select a Name. Once the user hits Ok, I need to use the selected value to populate several other fields. But I can't figure out how to fire a SSJS function from the Ok button.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can fire an event from the field that the value picker updates.
Here's a simple example that updates another field when the value picker is used:
<xe:djextListTextBox id="inputField">
<xp:eventHandler event="onChange" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
<xe:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:getComponent("testField").setValue(getComponent("inputField").getValue())}]]></xe:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xe:djextListTextBox>
<xe:valuePicker id="valuePicker1" for="inputField">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker valueList="1,2,3" valueListSeparator=","></xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
<xp:br />
<xp:inputText id="testField"></xp:inputText>
I've got a checkBoxGroup that can expand to 20 items or so, as users pick which fields from a view that they want to export to a spreadsheet. I'm curious how I might control the display of those 20 checkboxes (dynamically determined) to be in more than one row or even to display in a column instead.
<xp:checkBoxGroup id="fieldChoicesBox">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false" id="eventHandler2">
<xp:this.script>
<![CDATA[var x= '#{javascript:getClientId("fieldChoicesBox")}';
var y= '#{javascript:getClientId("fieldChoicesBoxList")}';
copyRadioChoices(x,y)]]>
</xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
<xp:selectItems>
<xp:this.value>
<![CDATA[#{javascript: var viewName=#UpperCase(getComponent("viewChoice").getValue());
var tmp = #DbLookup(#DbName(),"dbprofile",viewName,"Value");
#If(#IsError(tmp),"None",tmp)}]]>
</xp:this.value>
</xp:selectItems>
</xp:checkBoxGroup>
This is all built off code I originally got from Russ Maher (see http://xpagetips.blogspot.com/2012/06/extending-your-xpages-applications-with.html) so any brilliance is attributable to him, while all mistakes are mine.
Alternatively, if you have an idea for how to pick fields or columns to display in the export that works more easily or elegantly, I'd be thrilled to hear it.
If your using or can use the ExtLib I'd use the valuePicker control, lets you select multiple values from the one control ( hold down ctrl while choosing ). Heres an example:
<xp:inputtext id="example" multipleSeparator=","></xp:inputText>
<xe:valuePicker for="example" pickerText="text">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker valueList="test1, test2, test3, test4"
valueListSeperator=",">
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
