I did a show on integrating Woopra analytics into your XPages applications back in episode 20. However it appears that back in May I messed something up and actually broke the link. So it’s not been available for some time. I’ve now fixed the link to the video of the show. It can be found:

Sorry about that.
In this show I take a question from a viewer who asked how you could have a view on the right, click on a document and be able to edit it on the left. I’ll demonstrate that by using a Repeat Control since I don’t like View Controls that much.
There’s quite a bit in here for the beginner. I create a repeat control, bind to a foreign database, control rendering of the document section, use simple actions and SSJS and even show the world how bad I am with CSS. 🙂
The viewer also wanted to be able to create NEW documents, but I’ll save that bit for a future show.
Hope you like it.
In this show John Jardin comes back on to give a demo on how to use version 3.0 of the XPages ViewPicker Custom Control. Â This is a control was featured on a previous NotesIn9 but Mark Hughes has made enough enhancements to it that John thought it needed an updated video. Â Not to be missed is the use of the Loading Mask as well as the Multi-Value Deselector.
Look for more videos on using custom controls in future shows.
I recently realized that of all the demos I’ve done on Repeat Controls, I’ve not done a simple one that actually looks like a table. There are a couple of ways to do this and in this show I demonstrate my prefered method. Along the way I talk about data binding formulas and working in the source pane as well.
This is a really basic show for those new to XPages. If you’ve been a long time viewer there might not be much new here.
In this show we have another great guest contributor. Paul Withers from Intec Solutions comes on the show to introduce to us to what should be our new Best Friend, otherwise known as the “F4 key”. Learn how to use this key to find all the hidden methods and properties from your objects.
In this show John Jardin comes back on to talk about getting started with using Remote Services in XPages.
In this show, Peter Presnell comes on to give a high level look at some of the options available to test XPage applications.
In this show guest contributor John Jardin comes on to talk about using oneUI to style the Name Picker from the XPages Extension Library.
Thanks again to John for taking the time to contribute this tip. I’m really exicited to have him and a couple more great guests lined up for some upcoming shows.
This week saw 4 new NotesIn9 shows added the the collective XPages learning material. 2 regular shows, 2 Extended Editions and one new guest contributor!
NotesIn9 029: Combine URL Parameters with Excel Exporting
NotesIn9: 030 – Formatting Numbers in XPages
NotesIn9: EE 008 – XPages: One Man’s Journey
NotesIn9: EE 009 – Using Java HashMaps and TreeMaps with XPages
I had fully planned to publish another show today – to round out “NotesIn9” week. But it’s Friday… Harry Potter is out now and no one cares. 🙂
So I think I’ll save this for next week I think. I also have 2 NEW guest contributors about to come on so I’m considering another 4 shows next week. We’ll see how it goes. I do wonder if 4-5 in 1 week is too much.
As always, I really hope all this stuff helps and I thank everyone for their comments, feedback and interest in the show!
In this show I’m going to combine 2 tips from the XPagesCheatSheet which can be freely downloaded at xpagescheatsheet.com.
I take the Export to Excel example, and demonstrate how you can improve that by getting and using a parameter from the URL so the exported Excel document has only a subset of records.
