I have Created a Notes Survey form using Lotus Notes Designer.
I select "Preview in Notes" and from there i forward the survey form to end user.
However this goes as an email and End user's has to Click on reply button to select their answers and then reply.
I am looking for some Notes Script / Commands which i can embed in a Notes button on the form, which will help end user to select the answer and once done, the reply should automatically mailed back to us.
Please let me know if additional information required, related to requirement.
Note: I am new to Notes Designer, and unable to club multiple options to get this working.
This is NOT the sense of a Lotus Notes application to send the information via mail. The most you do is, to send a button with the Command #Command([Compose]; "YourServer" : "YourDatabase.nsf"; "YourForm")
To the users. When they click the button, a new document with your form is created. Then you use #Command([FileSave]) in an action to save the document. Usually one checks, using #dblookup, if there is already an entry fo that user an prohibits more than one document per user.
Then you create views to show the documents and see instantly:
How many users took part so far,
How many users selected option 1, option 2, etc.
You have all the information in one place, it is structured and can be easily read / found / evaluated.
Sending mails around would meen, that you have to collect that information yourself and count manually...

I'll start by saying, I'm new to Oracle Apex.
I have an application prepared that can take in user inputs. On choosing the 'create' button these are saved to a table row AND an email is fired.
The email is built in HTML as a process. It takes in the page items displays them in a particular order in the html and sends to chosen recipients.
Can anyone suggest how a preview of the email could be viewed? Or point me to a tutorial that explains/demonstrates?
You can use a DisplayOnly item to display p_body_html if you are using APEX_MAIL.SEND.

I am using a simple tree view on the left side for a company to see linked entities like opportunities, contacts, etc.,
When I click on a contact, my browser gets redirected to the contact, but I want to stay on the company view and load the contact details into the second or third column or just any sector on that company view.
Getting redirected to each record every time I click a link is annoying because I lose my track and sometimes I want to see the parent details while I see the details of a child record. In this case I want to keep the company view while I can load one contact on the same view without any page load or redirection.
Note: I am using a demo access to Dynamics CRM 2015 online and installed a plugin from a third party to get a tree view. The above is not dependent on my tree view. This can also be done for activities for example which is listed on right column by default. By clicking on an activity, I would like to see the activity details loaded in some panel on the middle column or anywhere I want, without being redirected.
You probably can make do with a Quick View.
Let's say you want to do this trick with Accounts and Contacts, to display info for contacts inside an Account. It goes like this:
Create a lookup inside Account, to Contact entity. Put it on the form (you can make it not visible, doesn't matter).
Create a "Quick View" form inside Contact. They are built similar to normal forms. Include all the info you want to display.
Go back to Account form, INSERT -> Quick View. Select the lookup you made in point 1, and the quick view you just created.
The quick view will display on the Account form, grabbing info from the Contact selected inside the lookup. If you left the new lookup visible, you can play with it and see how it works.
4b. You probably will now need to "link" the treeview with the lookup somehow (since it's third-party I'm unable to offer any insight about it). It will require a bit of javascript for sure.
For more details, as usual, refer to MSDN
Ps: If you want to try it out fast, skip #1 and pick "Primary contact" as field in #3 (it's standad, and most likely already on the form)
I've created a party invitation template in MailChimp with an RSVP section within the body of the email that contains 3 buttons:
yes
maybe
no
I have also added a custom text field on the list called "RSVP".
Is there a way I can automate the user click event to automatically update the profile and target this field?
I realize I can add the |UPDATE_PROFILE| merge tag and send the user to a custom form where they choose their RSVP option, but ideally i want to bypass the form and handle the response using the buttons in the email body ONLY.
Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible, mostly. You can do most of what you want with survey tags. The result won't be put in your custom text field in your list called "RSVP", but you will still be able to make segments of your list based on who clicked a particular response, as described below.
Anywhere in your email, in a text portion, include the following:
*|SURVEY: 1. yes|*
*|SURVEY: 2. maybe|*
*|SURVEY: 3. no|*
When the recipient gets the email, they will see three links:
1. yes
2. maybe
3. no
These links will take them to a survey landing page. (You can edit this: in your lists page, click the drop down to the right of the stats button, then choose Signup Forms, and then choose Form Builder, then in the drop down choose Survey Landing Page)
After you send out the email, and some people have clicked some of your yes/maybe/no links, it's time to see the results.
Click on Campaigns at the top of mailchimp, then the View Report button to the right of the email you sent. Scroll down and you will see a box called Poll Information, and in this there is a link to View poll results. There you can see who clicked on which link.
You can also make a list segment based on Poll/Survey Activity, which lets you do things like see who all didn't pick any of your RSVP options, who did, and who clicked which one.
On this problem some more people have stumbled and for non-ajax scenario there is already a solution :
How to prevent multiple inserts when submitting a form in PHP?
(answered Jan 25 '10 at 17:02)
I'd like to know how could be implemented efficiently on both the server and client side a similar solution for the following problem :
there is a wall listing containing multiple items on which the users can click an ajax-enabled "i like" button (no page reload)
the user can have multiple browser windows opened on which can click "i like" buttons
Expected :
Only the first click on the "I like" button for any of the wall items is taken at the server side into account and the following requests for the wall item are not handled anymore.
Keep track of the liked items of each user on the serverside (for example an extra database table). When a new like is going to be inserted, check if there is already an existing record in this table. If there is, the user has already liked this item and you dont't have to count it anymore.
I think the best way is to use a session variable that store the current state, ie when someone clicks you "i like", on the server side, you check the state of the SESSION var.
I'm using Joomla to develop a user profile management component with AJAX.
The goal is to allow the user to edit his own user information. There is a lot of information so instead of having one massive form, I decided to make "subforms" or sections. And for the whole thing to be user-friendly I want to send the forms and refresh the user information with AJAX.
Here's an example :
There are two sections, "Basic user info" which displays the first name, the last name and the age of the person and "Extended user info" which displays the occupation, the company and the skills of the person. Each section has an "edit" link (or button) which turns the content into a form (AJAX) allowing the user to modify the presented information. You can only edit one section's information at a time. When the user has finished modifying the data, he sends the form with a "send" link (or button) and the section gets back to simply displaying the information of the section (with the updates that were just made).
So I need to know what is the most efficient way to develop such a component. I thought of two approaches :
1) In the "tmpl" directory of the main component view we the following files :
default_basic.php (displays the basic user information),
default_basic_edit.php (displays the form which allows the user to edit the basic information)
default_extended.php (displays the extended user information),
default_extended_edit.php (displays the form which allows the user to edit the extended info)
default.php (loads each of the display subtemplates with calls to JView::loadTemplate($subtemplate))
When the user clicks on an edit link, an AJAX call is made to the following URI index.php?option=com_userinfo&view=userinfo&subview=basic_edit&format=ajax, which causes the view class to call $this->loadTemplate('basic_edit') after assigning the user information to it.
If the user clicks cancel the same process is used to load the 'basic' template again. And if the user modifies the information and clicks the send link, the form is sent and then the 'basic' template is loaded too.
2) There is only a "default.php" file in the "tmpl" directory which holds the edit version and the display version of each section. But all the edit versions are hidden at first. And when the user clicks on the edit link the display version of the section becomes hidden and the edit version is displayed (using display:none and display:block). Then, if the user clicks the cancel button we do the opposite. And if the user clicks the send button we send an AJAX request to update the data in the database and return the updated user info which will be loaded into the display version of the section. And we finally replace the edit version of the section with its display version.
I know there's a lot of text but in the end it goes down to choosing between refreshing full HTML blocks with AJAX, or just sending the updated info and modifying the content of hidden blocks and then make them appear. So what do you think is the most logical approach, knowing that we are in a Joomla 1.5 environment ? How would you procede ? (maybe there are other ways to create such a component ?)
(I tried both ways and I couldn't entirely make it work so I decided to ask to see if it is a matter of conception...)
Thank you for taking the time to read all the text.
My answer is: why even refresh parts when it can be done without it?
For example when we are talking about basic form elements like text fields and check/radio buttons I would prefer the following: on a successful save/send simply display a nice message like "Profile saved" for some seconds and the user is sure that the changes are save and sound.
In case I msissed somthing let me know.
I have tried both solutions and #2 is the only one that worked for me.
