Log to Domino using JSON
This XPAGE read json from a POST request and create a log entry in the database. This is useful if you have code in other environments like a c# console application and want to use a Domino database as log storage.
Paste this code into a new xpage and send the json using POST to /db.nsf/xpagename.xsp/logger
You need to create a form named "Log" in the database with the fields specified in the code.
If you try this using Postman you should get "Domino LogEvent registered" as result

Script to fix a Mail File Location in a Person Document
This is a simple thing, but one that is very valuable, especially when doing server folder or drive changes, email migrations or corporate mergers.
The important piece which people forget is what to do when the syntax is caps or lower case.
This script sets the syntax to lowercase.
Instructions:
NOTE: Presumes you already have your Directory/NAB (Names.nsf) open
1) From the Notes top menu, click on Create, then click on Agent. In the window that opens, give the agent a name and description
2) Select FORMULA
3) Copy then paste in the code
4) Edit the directory name (mail2 in this example) to whatever one you are trying to change that is in the person document.
5) Edit the directory name it should be changed (mail in this example)
6) Save your agent
7) Test the agent by going back to your Directory and go to a test person in the list of users
8) Click on Action from the Notes Menu and find your new Agent and click on it to run it
9) Open the person doc and see if all looks good, if not, check your syntax

An alternative way to include the newest version of CKEditor 4
CKeditor is developing rapidly, however the implementation in XPages is staying behind.
Pasting content from MS Word for example isn't working anymore like it supposed to do and loading large chunks of content from a Java bean into an inputRichText field is taking like forever.
I created an alternative way of implementing a new CKeditor.
Use the following steps:
0. Your application contains a Javabean "Name" which contains a field "field" and a getter en setter. However any name will do, just change the properties.
1. First download the latest version of CKeditor 4 from the site https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/
2. Open the Navigator view in Domino Designer
3. Paste the CKEditor into: /WebContent/ckeditor4
4. Create a Custom Control with the following name: ckEditor4RichText
5. Paste the code and save the control
6. Add property defenitions to the CC:
fieldName with type: String
toolbar with type String
beanvalue with type: object AND editor: Method Binding Editor
7. Create a XPage and insert the Custom Control:
The toolbar can implement any CKEditor toolbar. this example contains just a basic toolbar.
8. Now compile and watch the magic :)
Note:
You can add any kind of plugin to the CKEditor.
Some advanced knowledge of Domino Designer and Javascript could be handy.

Converting Regular Common Name Lists into Notes Hierarchical Names
I prefer to have people in Notes format in groups because no one knows the future, although the names will work in a simple one domain network, there is always something new down the road and the names should be in a proper format.
When given a new application to push out and an ACL with long lists of people, this will do the lookups for you in a few seconds, once you set this up for yourself.
This script works with your PNAB (Personal Name and Address Book) also called contacts list and is the local Notes client names.nsf file.
HOW TO USE THIS CODE:
This will create a button in your Toolbar.
1. Go to File->Preferences->Toolbar->Customize from your Notes client.
2. From the top box, I customize the Universal toolbar so select it from the dropdown.
3. Below the window box of icons, Click on New->Button.
4. Give it a Caption text, I used: Get Notes Names.
5. Popup Help text really is the name that shows when you hover over the icon, I would just repeat the name used in Step 4.
6. Change the icon to something either meaningful to you or whatever will be unique for you to notice it, I use a yellow ball.
7. Paste the code from the code box on this page into the Formula box of your Toolbar Icon window.
8. Click Ok.
9. Click Save Toolbar.
10. Click Ok.
That concludes the code part of this snippet.
HOW TO USE THE CODE:
1. If you don't have the Universal Toolbar showing by default, turn it on by going to View->Toolbar and clicking on Universal.
2. Open your PNAB (Personal Address Book), also called Contacts of your Notes client, it is usually the names.nsf file.
3. Click on Groups from the list of options in your Contacts.
4. Click on New to create a new Group.
5. You can name it anything, I keep a generic empty group for this purpose and call it Converts.
6. In the main field, copy and paste the list of names to get Notes Names from your company NAB/Directory.
7. Click Save and Close.
8. Now with the group you created highlighted/selected, click on the Icon created in the toolbar we created earlier.
9. You will receive a pop-up window one completed stating Found XX emails for XX Notes Names. This is important so you know if you got everyone or if you had any typing mistakes or people who may have left the company.
10. Now if you open the group you will see the Notes Names for everyone in the Comments & Attachments section and can copy and paste those into the new ACL groups or whatever your need.
If you used this and it helped you great! Please rate it and let me know you used the code. I am @Lotusevangelist on Twitter
This was put together with the help of fellow IBM Champions and HCL Ambassadors a long time ago and Jesse Gallagher when I edited this for verification about some questions I had at the time.

Looking up and Converting a List of Notes Names into their Email Address
When asked to pull the email names for a list of Notes names so marketing could export them to an outside mailing list, I figured there had to be a better way than looking them up individually. Luckily, there is.
This version owes a hat tip and thanks to the inspiration code from the amazing Stephan Wissel and this post of his: https://www.wissel.net/blog/2011/10/converting-notes-names-into-internet-addresses.html
I had to adjust the code over time a little bit but I also want to give credit where it is deserved.
HOW TO USE THIS CODE:
This will create a button in your Toolbar.
1. Go to File->Preferences->Toolbar->Customize from your Notes client.
2. From the top box, I Customize the Universal toolbar so select it from the dropdown.
3. Below the window box of icons, Click on New->Button.
4. Give it a Caption text, I used: Get Email Addresses.
5. Popup Help text really is the name that shows when you hover over the icon, I would just repeat the name used in Step 4.
6. Change the icon to something either meaningful (toolbar_ccmail.gif icon perhaps?) or whatever will be unique for you to notice it.
7. Paste the code from the code box on this page into the Formula box of your Toolbar Icon window.
8. Click Ok.
9. Click Save Toolbar.
10. Click Ok.
That concludes the code part of this snippet.
HOW TO USE THE CODE:
1. If you don't have the Universal Toolbar showing by default, turn it on by going to View->Toolbar and clicking on Universal
2. Open your PNAB (Personal Address Book), also called Contacts of your Notes client, it is usually the names.nsf file.
3. Click on Groups from the list of options in your Contacts.
4. Click on New to create a new Group.
5. You can name it anything, I keep a generic empty group for this purpose and call it Converts.
6. In the main field, copy and paste the names to get emails from your company NAB/Directory.
7. Click Save and Close.
8. Now with the group you created highlighted/selected, click on the Icon created in the toolbar we created earlier.
9. You will receive a pop-up window one completed stating Found XX emails for XX Notes Names. This is important so you know if you got everyone or if you had any typing mistakes or people who may have left the company.
10. Now if you open the group you will see the emails for everyone in the Comments & Attachments section.
Cool, right? I taught AA's how to use this and they love it and never bother me anymore.
If you used this and it helped you great! Please rate it and let me and Stephen know you used the code.

Volt Audit Trail
This can be used to add an audit to a Multi-line entry field, as HTML. To do so:
1. Add a Multi-Line Entry field, and hide on all occasions (e.g. add a rule to "Show" if "Window height in pixels" "Has no value"). Call it "F_AuditText".
2. Add an HTML field below, calling it "F_HTMLAudit".
3. In the page's onShow event, use: page.F_HTMLAudit.setContent(BO.F_AuditText.getValue(). This takes the HTML values stored in "F_AuditText" and renders the HTML on the page, obviously read-only.
4. In your submit buttons or wherever else you want to add to the audit, call:
BO.F_AuditText.setValue(app.getSharedData().addAudit('Submitted') + BO.F_AuditText.getValue()
This gets an audit message "Submitted" and prepends it to the existing audit messages. The audit messages appear most recent first.

Get list of groups user belongs to
Utils.getSession().getUserGroupNameList() will return the groups the user in context belongs to. I use the code above to get a list of groups for a user who is not in the context.

Change OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES in Notes.ini from LotusScript
Call this agent with Agent.RunOnServer to change the value of OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES on a Domino server without using a server configuration document and a server reboot.
OSSetEnvironmentVariableExt with isSoft=true lets the method only a check an internal hard list for forbidden variables, allowing OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES to be changed.

Changing Input to Select in Profiles
This changes the "Building" label and field to be for "Department", giving a comboBox of selections. This still saves the value to the "bldgId" field, and marks as selected the value that's stored.
It requires the values to exist in the list, or the first is selected as the default. If you need to change existing field values, use the Connections APIs or Node-RED nodes to do so.

Client-side radio-button validation
Could also be done by hijacking XSP.getFieldValue and checking the type 'fieldset' before calling the original getFieldValue.
IMHO this code (or better) should be incorporated in the XSP files.

Base Href for XPages Applications
Thanks to Jesse Gallagher for pointing me in the direction of this one.
If you use Bootstrap themes, links tend to be basicLeafNodes with client-side URLs set via the href property to avoid unnecessary requests to the server to perform a partial refresh. After all, we want to change the URL, so why not just do so directly from the browser. But if you set href to e.g. "/newSnippet.xsp" and set the launch properties of the database to launch a specific page, e.g. "home.xsp", the starting URL in the browser may be ".nsf", it may be ".nsf/" or it may be ".nsf/home.xsp". This means "/newSnippet.xsp" means different things.
This Snippet sets the base URL so that "/newSnippet.xsp" in the basicLeafNode will always work.
