Get to it you slacker!

Here is another way to do it:

I don't know if it's out of the scope of your namepicker, but if you want to be able to search on the forename, the last name, or "forename, lastname" (or other terms), you can do something like this:

First column of the view:

firstname:lastname:lastname+","+firstname

And "Show multiple values as separate entities" on the column.

If you have a view with 40k entries, then the view would now have 120k entries. Not sure how this affects the size of the view-index, since the document-count is the same.

I'm using @DbLookup (@DbLo...;[PartialMatch]); )in the combination with the above for a customer that uses our company for their trading system, and another company for customer registration. When the customer is created in the other system, the data is sendt to us, and a document is created. Using DbL, the customer-document is instantly available to the name-picker.

Love the effects/icons btw! My namepicker is a lot duller :|

You think that your son demands a lot of attention now? Wait until he is 14 months or so, like my daughter. He will be running around, thinking that your computer is the greatest toy in the house. He will be demanding to sit on your lap while you work, hitting all the keys and switching the computer off before you had a chance to save your work. It is great, great fun and I wouldn't miss it for the world, but working at home has become almost impossible. Be prepared! ;-)

I can imagine Henk. I've already started looking at "serviced office" space in the local area...

@Thomas Adrian:

Hi Thomas,

is there any English language version of your blog?

I think it would be very useful to the whole Notes community

Hi Jake

Thanks. This looks useful in the context of a project here although we use Active Directory for authentication & I think there's a demo in the code bin area of openntf.org relevant to that.

On a server it is necessary for something to adjust, that all worked? I click on an icon, there is a window of input of a name, enter a name there is a search but results are not present. Base after default has put in names.nsf

In the subform NamePicker, change the output format to anything other than "JSON".

alexander (Thu 15 Mar 2007 07:54 PM)

sdunch, ok change the output format and now search are complete, but result are not present.

To what format to change? thanks

alexander (Thu 15 Mar 2007 07:55 PM)

oh... sorry, sduncan!

sduncan (Fri 16 Mar 2007 11:18 AM)

The code section goes something like

if ( outputformat == "JSON")

' Do it this way

else

' Do it that way

so if you change it to anything other than JSON it should work.

Is your namepicker database set to allow anonymous access but your nab not to allow anonymous access? That could cause that issue.

If not, in the NamePicker.js library look for the line "list_results: function (response){" add

alert(response.responseText) immediately after it and see what type of response it is getting.

alexander (Fri 16 Mar 2007 11:54 PM)

sduncan thanks, really problem was in that that anonymous access to base names.nsf has been forbidden.

what the output format is "JSON"?

@Christian

I know it must be frustrating finding cool thing on my blog and then discover that everything is written in a language you cannot understand.

When I starten my blog the intention was to provide a local Swedish blog about Notes as there was to so many english spoken blogs and none in Swedish. As a consultant I do think that a local Notes community ads more value than a global one.

All I can say is that I am sorry if you are having problems understanding the posts and unfortunately there are no very good webpagetranslators from English to Swedish available.

If you need ay help translating any of my posts, please send me an email, you can find my contact information at the blog.

Thanks

Jake -- great work on the Name Picker!

We are considering using it on a project. We have it running against a NAB with over 100,000 names and performance is quite impressive!

We have added some functionality (including sorting, limiting the returned results to ONLY those names starting with the letters you entered and a message if there were no matches) which I will pass along but we are experiencing a problem I hope you can help with.

We have a form that MUST have "Generate HTML for all fields" checked, and that, sadly, is breaking the whole thing -- the names selected by the user magically disappear upon document save.

Any way to get around that?

We've tried quite a few things. The part we are having trouble with is getting "Remove" to work correctly.

Oddly enough -- I have been able to get it to work in a couple of places on the form but not everywhere. Putting the Notes field inside a DIV with the display set to "none" will SOMETIMES let it work, but there seems to be no telling when it will and won't work... Very strange...

By the way, we are using a modified version of the "table" format -- we added borders to make it look like a textarea field at the request of our potential users, and added colored row mouseovers for the user's benefit when deleting names from long lists.

For single name fields, we added the red "X" to the side of the field to give it the same feel as the multi-value fields.

Thanks in advance, and great job!

Think I got it fixed when you need to have "Generate HTML for all fields" checked...

I'll find a more elegant solution but for now, in the JS function that does the submit, I simply clear the DIV containing the NOTES field(s)...

Like: document.all.FieldDiv.innerText="";

Then when the document is saved the Notes field is repopulated with the correct values from the passthru version.

I'll let you know when I get a better fix working...

Jake Howlett (Thu 29 Mar 2007 04:47 AM)

Gary. I think the problem is the way the browser submits the fields. It's using a trick whereby you can mimic a multi-value field by having lots of sinput <input> fields on the page with the same name. When posted to the server Domino sees them all as values of the same field. However, they have to be submitted one after the other and in order. In your case I think there's a field at the end of the form which has that name and so is submitted out of order. Domino forgets all the previous values it received for that field and takes the *single* value from this latter field.

Do that make sense? Better probably to delete this last field from the DOM.

Better still disable the setting!!

Hi Jake,

Your NamePicker was really usefull for one of our internal web app. I have changed the view to "($users)" to tackle first name/last name filter and then twicked (code attached below) the JS library to avoid duplicate names appearing in the list built in 'Search_Result' div.

var colValue=entries[i].getElementsByTagName("text").item(NamePicker.settings["column"]-1).firstChild.nodeValue;

if (list.innerHTML.indexOf(colValue)==-1){ list.appendChild(Builder.node('li',{'onclick':'NamePicker.add(this.innerHTML)'},[colValue]));

}
