IBM Notes Designer 9 - Preview in Notes - xpages

Does anyone else got the problem that you cannot preview an XPage from the "Preview in Notes" toolbar button w/o getting the error "404 The requested resource cannot be located"?
When I set the XPage as "launch option" for the application I can load it in the Client.
Yes, I have "build automatically" activated. In the browser it also works as intended.

Works fine for me.
XPiNC can sometimes cache application settings where XPages is involved. Try "Clear Private Data" from the Refresh drop-down button. Alternatively, I've sometimes needed to close and re-open Notes to pick up changes.
My preferred mode of development is to use a browser and just use XPiNC for a final check.

IBM Designer client launching Forms & Views into Notes Client! CLFRJ0010E sometimes

Hi XPages app developers.
Some weird stuff happening between the Notes Client and the Designer Client:
I launch Notes then right-click an app and tell it to Open in Designer.
I wait for it to load, it does, but funny, it says "IBM Notes in the title bar". I proceed to select the Xpages Perspective; I open the list of Views and select a view to Edit.
And BOOM! it opens the view in a kind-of design mode in my regular Notes client! Messed up or what?
Who's seen this and has a solution? Please share your thoughts!
Whatever it was, reinstalling worked.

external content type but connect to outlook is disabled

We are unabel to enable the "Connect to outlook" ribbon button for our external list.
The external list is based on a external content type which uses a simple Web service.
The browser based UI works just great as expected but we are unable to get the "Connect to Outlook" ribbon button to becoem enabled.
We have installed all the necessary client side installs, and the connect to outlook button works fine for regualr lists.
We have mapped it to a outlook type "Contact" within SharePoint designer and mapped the single requried field of "LastName".
Unfortunately it still will not enable, has anyone had this problem or no a fix please?
If you are using a newer version of IE, it most likely won't display. Go to the browsers "gear" in the top right hand corner, click and select "Compatibility View Settings" - click add and then close and refresh, that should do the trick.

xPage as Welcome Page

I am trying to setup xPage as Welcome page for notes client and to be deployed via policies. Only issue it opens up 2 window, one which is Bookmarks.nsf frameset and second one is the xPage. Tried many different ways to close frameset, but some internal setting doesn't like this since its a welcome page frame... any ideas or if somebody has done similar project.
I tried opening a view thru welcome page which opens up the xPage and then to close the view in Postopen event, but no luck. also tried same with Form.
Appreciate help .. badly stuck in it.
One way to do that is:
open your xpage in the client
right click on the tab and create a new bookmark for it
right click on the newly created bookmark and click "set bookmark as home page"
I don't know if you can do that via policies, but at least it works if I do it interactively
You can set this by policy by adding to the ini
StartupDB =
That will load the NSF every time the client opens. This command does not respect the enforce flag as its enforced by default, do not set the enforce flag...
You can also set the nsf to replicate by policy so remote users will be able to open it as well.

XPages file download control issue

I have a file download control on custom control and this custom cotrol is there in xpage. Now when I click on attachment link in file download control, i get a prompt "Do you want to open or save this file". If i click on cancel/open/save... the xpage gets un responsive and no button works (I have edit and close button on page).
Which version of Domino and which browser are you using. Bear in mind 8.5.2 uses Dojo 1.5 but Internet Explorer 9 only supports Dojo 1.6 onwards.
If this is the problem, partial refreshes will not work anywhere on any XPage. to overcome it you should be able override the IE version.

Can't add webpart to SharePoint page

On my sharepoint site I am unable to add an existing basic webpart to a page where I've added webparts before. I am a site owner. I am using IE 8. I also work remotely using VPN.
The strange thing is IE won't even open up the EDIT MODE.
When I use Google Chrome, it is able to open up EDIT MODE, and it was also able to open up the Add Web Part popup, but when you actually select a web part and press ADD...nothing gets added to the main page.
The extra strange thing is from Google Chrome, I am able to delete and modify existing webparts.
I've upgraded to IE 9 and the same issue still happens.
i assume the similar issue you would be facing with firefox it seems your css is not compliant with IE8 try using ie8 in campatibility mode or use following querystring parameter at end of ur url
toolpaneview=2 and see what is the result
I had that problem and it appeared that a CSS file was messing up with the Ribbon controls.
Try to disable a CSS file at a time.

Pedro
We had this issue (or at least a very similar one) where, in edit page mode, clicking on 'Add a Web Part' had no effect. I was assuming that it is a JavaScript issue. In, I beleive, the same day, it effected both my Production and DEV Site Collections, in IE8, Firefox and Chrome. We restarted all of our servers and ran the config wizard. No good.
We were able to create new pages which seem to be uneffected.
For an existing page, our workaround is to edit the properties of the page, then, down at the bottom, select 'Open Page in Maintenance View'. Select one of the Web Parts and Close it. Note: It seems as though if you unselected the 'Allow Close' checkbox, it wont be on this list. Then click on the 'Go Back to Web Part Page'. Click on the zone where the closed Web Part was. You may now be able to 'Add a Web Part'. If so, the last Web Part folder on the left will be 'Closed Web Parts' which I beleive you can put back (Open) the closed Web Part.
I have see this issue occur when someone else has the current page open in edit mode. Until that person either checks in or undoes there checkout you will not be able to edit the page.
