once again I have to ask you for a help.
I have a problem with creating public variable and using it in formula.
The details of this issue is:
1, right after starting a Lotus Notes Application i have to create public variable EmpNum which will be contain an employee number (the number will be imported from IBM Blue Pages)
2, this EmpNum variable will be used to filter the data in a view, so I have to use it in formula in View Selection.
I'll be very grateful if you help with this issue.
Maybe there is possible any simplest solution of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Tomasz (td2003)
EDIT:
Torsten, Panu, thank you.
I've decided to try write an EmpNum variable in notes.ini using #SetEnvironment and read it by #GetEnvironment, and it works.
BUT (!) there is a very strange thing:
1) when I entered formula "SELECT((form="ITForm") & (Status="Completed") & (TX_EmployeeNumber=#Environment("EmpNum")))" the view shows me all document where "TX_EmployeeNumber" is EMPTY;
2) otherwise when I entered formula "SELECT((form="ITForm") & (Status="Completed") & (TX_EmployeeNumber!=#Environment("EmpNum")))" (not equal) the view shows me all document where "TX_EmployeeNumber" is NOT EMPTY and no matter if TX_EmployeeNumber have exactly the same value as EmpNum.
For example: if EmpNum="P11" the view with 2nd formula shows the documents where TX_EmployeeNumber fields contains "P11", "P22", "A32" and so on.
I'm sure that #Environment("EmpNum") retrieves correct data from notes.ini.
I'm totally confused and completely don't know what's going on.
Do you have any idea about this?
First of all: There are NO public variables in Lotus Notes as you request it. Neither in LotusScript nor in Formula. Every variable just lives in its context, never in the complete client.
There are two places to put such a variable:
in the notes.ini, where you can set / read it using Formula (#Environment, #SetEnvironment, #getEnvironent) or LotusScript (NotesSession.GetEnvironmentString, NotesSession.SetEnvironmentVar).
In a Profile document in a database, where you can get it using #GetProfileField (Formula) or NotesDatabase.GetprofileDocument() (LotusScript)
Both of these approches will NOT help you for your number 2.
There is only ONE View- Selection- Formula for ALL Users. Putting something "userspecific" in there will let it render correctly for ONE value (the one, that the server uses when building the view- index), but not for all the others.
To solve your problem you can use:
a) An embedded View
A view that is categorized by empNum
A Form that has this view embedded and a Formula for "Show single category" for this embedded view set
b) A SPOFU view
SPOFU is "Shared, private on first use" and means, that every user has his own copy of the view. These views have some caveats and are hard to maintain. You should NOT use them, if you are not totally aware of the implications (getting the ACL right is one very important thing for these views)...
EDIT (due to change in question): SPOFU will neither work with Environment nor with Profile- documents, as the methods to read them are not supported in Views... So b) is not really an option... Sorry...
It is possible to use the #SetViewInfo formula in the QueryOpen and/or PostOpen of a view to get the view to only present data from one category. Be careful with this because you will need to touch EVERY view so that the value is cleared if the user navigates to a view which is not categorized by the employee num...
FWIW: I only have done this using #UserName not with another piece of data. I suggest you do that by having the import process add the fully qualified Notes name of the user to the documents as they are imported.
You can modify view selection formula with NotesView class. In this case you would have to use private views.
A better solution would be to use an XPage to show the view and use category filter. Or if you want to use traditional style then embed the view to a form or page and use "Show Single Category" feature.

I'm developing a recoursive bar chart with the capability to navigate through a tree hierarchy by getting parent and child data from stored procedures.
It works well but I need to define a different action for the last node that instead of go to report should be: go to URL.
ssrs Action
Is there any way to do that?
I finally solved by using go to url for both: go to report and go to url.
this is possible by specifying the Url of the report as go to url concatenating the parameters using the HTTG GET syntax.
As you cannot set the report action via an expression, the easiest way I can think of doing this is to have two copies of your control or whatever you need the the action on. Have one point to your report as normal and one that points to your URL. Then set the visibility of each control based on the node.
So, assuming it's the series property that you have the action on...normally the Goto report series would be visible but when you are at the last node, the goto URL series would be visible.
This should work but I've not tested it.
Alternatively, if you can determine if the next node will be the last one, you could have two copies of the report. The first would be your report as it is now and the seconds would be exactly the same but with as different action. You can set an expression to call the correct report in the goto report action properties based on the node level. As I said before though, you will need to know if the node you are looking at is the penultimate one.
Neither solution is that elegant but it should give you what you want,.
I want to get event entries by their description (data).
I know how to get the event entry with a certain description, however I want to get an entry whith a description which contains a string (not equals to it).
That, I don't know how to do.
Please help :)
According to my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34119006/5089204 you should be able to retrieve EventRecords.
Dealing with these events is a quite complex issue... Each event has its own internal structure. The common properties are bundled in EventRecord, but the specific data must be taken from the internal details. Use the ToXml() method of an EventRecord...
In order to get the right events you must define an EventLogQuery. You must know the Provider's name and specify the filter.
Try the following: Open eventvwr and there the Windows-System queue. Right click one event, open the "Details" and choose the "XML-View". Look over different events and you will find, that they are quite differing.
But: You'll find everything you need there: First the "Provider Name" and the "EventId", these two are most important for the `EventLogQuery'.
Now go to the "define a user filter on the current protocoll"-action and type in some values. Then switch to the filter's XML and you'll learn how to define the correct query.
I'm sorry, there is no "easy and general" approach :-)
I need to use that api : http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Freferences%2FRESTful-FeedUserfeedGet.html
What I don't know is how to format activityFilter parameter ? What kind of things can I filter ? I'd like to set a max number of results, is it possible ?
I don't know where to find the documentation.
Thank you.
Mathieu.
I don't know where/if the list is documented, but it isn't hard to find out the values you are looking for...
The first place to go is the Web Script Index, which is:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index
From there you can find that web script, click on its ID, and see its declaration, any accompanying documentation, and, often, the code of the web script controller.
In this case, the controller is Java-based, so you can get its class and go look at that in the source.
Often, that's not convenient. So the next thing to do is to realize that Alfresco Share makes use of the same web script. If you turn on Firebug and go to the Alfresco Share Global Dashboard you can see the activity feed dashlet. As you change the second dropdown (the one that defaults to "all items") you will see your browser doing GETs against that web script. By choosing the various choices available in the dashlet, you'll see that the values it uses to filter activities are:
org.alfresco.comments.comment-created
org.alfresco.comments.comment-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-updated
org.alfresco.profile.status-changed
org.alfresco.site.user-joined
org.alfresco.site.user-left
org.alfresco.site.user-role-changed
You can pass more than one of these at-a-time to the web script by separating each with an escaped comma (%2C).
There may be more filters available, but those are the ones used by the activity feed dashlet on the global dashboard.
I don't know if I'm on the right track but I'm trying to let users of my web site create there own versions of pages on my web site.
Basically I'd like to make our documentation used as a starting point where they just add details and make a new page for themselves in the process.
I have a 'book' content type that I have changed with CCK and a 'client edits' content type that uses a nodereferencefromURL widget to link itself to the book node.
So simple version of what I'm saying is I have a link on my book pages that creates a node using client edits content type. I would like to put some fields on the client edits content type that take the values of some of the fields from the book page it is linked from.
I'm sure I'm missing something as I would have thought someone would have tried this before but I can't even find a hint on how to go about this.
All I really need is a point in the right direction if my current thinking is wrong.
Current thinking is that I use a php script to get the default value for a field on the new node add screen that drags the value for a field from the book I'm linking from.
I'm thinking this is the case because there is an option for default values for the field in cck manage fields that lets you put in a php value to return a default value for your field.
Am I on the right track or is there already a module or process that does what I'm talking about and I'm just too dumb to find it.
This sounds a little strange, are your client edits going to be a diff from the original node or just coppied data?
I would prehaps do it a more simple way, just have book nodes, and have different fields disaply depending on who edits it (enable the content_permissions module). That way you can use the node clone module to create the users copy.
You will need to make a module to contain your custom php code.
I ended up using rules to save information from the user and the cloned node into hidden fields.
One that saved the original node ID into a field when ever you create content of that type unless the url ends with Clone. This means that when you create the clone the original node ID is kept in the field.
That made it easy to use a views argument that took the node ID to make the clone appear along side the original when a user visits the original page.
The second rule trick was to compute a field that saved the "store name" from the profile of the user only when saving clone content.
This meant that there was a hidden field on the clone that stored the info so I could then use another views argument to restrict the view to only people with the same store name in their profile.
I am no good with PHP but I managed to find a snippet (can't remember where) that returns the store name of the current logged in user as the argument.
global $user;
profile_load_profile($user);
return $user->profile_store_name;
I currently have nodes setup on my site, and each node belongs to a particular menu (not primary or secondary prebuilt menues).
How can i find out which menu a node belongs to?
Maybe this is what you mean:
$trail = menu_get_active_trail();
$lastInTrail = end($trail);
$menu_name = $lastInTrail['menu_name'];
menu_get_active_trail() returns a breadcrumbs like array, the last breadcrumb represents the current node.

I'm a noob, so don't bash me if what I'm going to write is worthless babbling.
I think you can't do that directly, unless there's some smart module out there that would do all the nasty SQL queries necessary to check this.
Node info is stored in the SQL table "node", and is identified merely by NID (node ID, which is the node number that appears after /?q=node/ in the address). Their aliases, if any, are stored in "url_alias" table, where you can find columns "src" and "dst", identifying the original and the aliased path (for instance, src='node/123', dst='my/url/alias'). The menu links can be found in the table "menu_links", where you can find the columns "menu_name" (the machine-radable name of a menu) and "link_path" (either the node/... or the alias).
So, what you'd need to do is the following:
get the current node's NID
query "url_alias" if there's an alias for node/NID and retrieve it, otherwise leave node/NID
query the "menu_links" table for the path you've determined and retrieve "none" or the menu's machine-readable name
You could then also query the table "menu_custom" to check what's the human-readable name of the menu you've determined.
Anyway, that's a complicated query (several queries?) and I'm a MySQL ignorant, so I can't help you with the actual code you'll need to use to check all that :P.
This isn't a direct solution and I see from your reply to a previous answer that you didn't wanted the simplest solution possible, but I thought I'd mention this option. The Menu Node API module maintains a table which Drupal lacks, a node-menu relationship table.
The module does nothing on its own, but there seems to be contributed modules which build on this, so depending on how complex your problem is it might be a starting point.

Updated: Sorry guys, didn't even realize I had posted this link. I think I intended it as a draft and simply posted it when closing tabs. That said, mingos (above) is right on.
My link is to a function menu_get_active_menu_name() that appears to provide you with an array containing the active menu for the current page. As I presume that is what you are using it for, it would be a nice way to abstract yourself away from the database calls that might cause problems down the line.
I myself have never tried it, which is probably why I didn't elaborate and post. well... at least didn't post on purpose.
