Create your own @Formula
Fri, May 4th 2012 6:12a Fredrik Norling There is several ways of creating your own @Formula commands. One easy way is to create a serverside scriptlibrary and create a function that is named @MyCommand there. Include this SSJS library into your XPage / Custom Control and you have added a custom @Formula.
function @Getfirstword(data){
return @Left(data,” “)
}
And the second way is to create your own extension to the Domino designer as Ulrich Krause has done in this new openntf project.

New interesting openntf project

I don’t either know Ruby but I think the project it self has other interesting things because it shows how to implement another language into XPages, perhaps node.js, PHP or ASP.Net.

Improved calendar integration for Traveler – an idea

1. Don’t add the client lib to the Custom Control add it to the XPage instead
