I have the UNID of a Lotus Notes form. can i use this UNID to get the Document Collection of that form ??
I am using the NotesDatabase.Search() method to get the document collection. But this query only works if it is provided with the Form Name. Does not works works with the Form UNID.
I am trying to do this because in my application there are two forms with the same name and Alias name.
Short answer: This is NOT possible.
Documents are linked to the Form via their own Form- item. This is a textitem and contains the alias of the form they were created with. There is NO further relation between the form that was "really" used when creating a document. As soon as you create another Form with that alias and delete the old one, all documents will use the new one. As long as there are 2 forms with the same alias, one of them will be used by chance (usually the one with the smaller NoteID will be used, but this can not be guaranteed).
If your question is to find out, which documents where created with which of the forms the only possibility is to select them according to special fields in the forms. If e.g. one form has an item "CreatedDate" and the other does not, then you could select #IsAvailable( CreatedDate )
Unfortunately if you open a document that was created with the "old" form and save it, it will also have the new item... So this will never be a 100% solution.
To make it even harder: One could create a document using LotusScript and in the end just fill the Form- item: doc.Form = "SomeForm". Then the document was not created with either of your two forms...

In mendix i have 2 pages: Course Overview and Course_newEdit.
As the names suggest overview i the overview page and the second one is edit page.
The entity name is Course.
Its attributes are: Name String and Description String.
I have a requirement that i when a user edits course, the default value for name should be the last user input value.
So if the user has give first course name as History.
The second time any user tries to input the name, it should by default show History.
how can this be achieved?
I couldn't find any option for the same in the default settings.

If you are editing an existing course than it will automatically show the value that was last stored in the database so you don't need to do anything there.
If you are creating new course and want the default value of 'Name' attribute to be automatically filled in using the previous course object, than you have to retrieve last saved course object from database with range option = 'First' and add sort property that can identify the retrieve object as last saved course object. Than you can use retrieved last saved course and copy 'Name' to your new course object.

first you need to retrieve the list "Course" from database then sort the list by creating date descending then retrieve head of the new sorted list then fill this object in the new created one

I have added a field to the Contact entity called Website Downloads. This field is updated every time a client clicks on our website but what I want to do is have a sub grid within the Contact form that shows what this entry is each time it's updated. Then I ideally need this in a view with the contacts name and a list of the downloads so I can do an advanced find on the field. Any ideas please. PS I have tried to add a new entity that links to this field but the problem is you cannot do an OR on an Advanced find for 2 separate entities so back to square one.
Already tried a new entity but this won't work as you cannot do an OR on an Advanced Find for 2 entities.
I think you are on right track. You need a related entity to capture all the website hits, then you need a rollup field on contact record to sum up the hits.
So the associated records can be listed in a subgrid on contact form, also Advanced find queries can be done.
Rollup field can be an OOB field but it has timely job to calculate, if you want immediate rollup result it can be a custom field & plugin to accumulate.
I am creating a new Joomla Component. I am able to create custom fields for the component backend forms - but I am not able to create Dynamic Custom Fields.
What I would like to do is have a field that is dynamical populated based on the value of a previous field. The easiest way to explain this is the simple country,state,city breakdown.
Field 1 = Country
Field 2 = State (Based on what the user selected as as Country in Field 1)
Field 3 = City (Based on what the user selected as State in Field 2)
The fields would of course need to be refreshed, reset as the user picks a different country etc.
The data to populate the fields would also all need to come from a database based on the previous fields value.
I am guessing this needs to be done via ajax or javascript or something? But wondering if there is an official way? Especially since there are database calls involved.
Please let me know if there is anything I can explain better..

I ended up just creating text fields but then validating the input to make sure the values added are correct.
I have a custom entity in Microsoft CRM (4.0). The user has to input records however usually they have a batch of 20+ records that are almost the same apart from 2 or 3 fields which need changing. I know I need to write some custom code to enable this functionally. However can anyone recommend any methods to do this.
Ideally there should be a button that will save and create a copy as a new entity.
My Current way of thinking is to pass all the details as part of the URL and use javascript to strip them out on the page load event. Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

I found the answer here:
http://mscrm4ever.blogspot.com/2008/06/cloning-entity-using-javascript.html
I've used it and it appears to work well.
Since there are numerous fields, but only certain fields values are different, then i am thinking to set the default value to all the fields, so that users just need to alter those values when needed.
In my approach, i will hook a javascript function on load of the form data entry screen and use XmlHttp approach/Ajax approach to hook to the custom web service to pull/retrieve the default values of each fields. Or you can set those values at the javascript function itself, but the drawback of this, it's difficult to customize later. So i will choose the approach to hook to the custom web service and retrieve those value from some application parameter entity.
Your idea of providing a "clone" button is also a great idea, which means that it will duplicate all the attributes of the previous record, into a new record, so that it will save time for data entry person to customize the different value
EDIT
Since you would enter records in batch mode, how about customizing .ASPX screen to enter records. By customizing through .ASPX screen, you can use a tab , so that users can browse through tabs, to customize the value/attribute of each record.
There will be a "save" button as well as "clone" button to clone some common attribute or value.
I would create a custom web service that would accept the entity type and the ID of the record I'm cloning. Your "Save and Clone" button would call the service, and the service would handle the details of retrieving the current record and deciding which fields to set on the new record. The service creates the record, and sends the Guid of the record back to your button, which then opens up the newly created record.
This way, you avoid the messiness of setting/getting values in JavaScript and tying which fields to set/retrieve directly to your OnLoads, as well as avoiding the possibility of query string that's too long.
The service could easily be sufficiently generalized so that all you'd have to do is add your button to any entity, and it would work, assuming you'd set up your service to handle that particular entity.
One possible downside is that since the clone record button would actually create the record, the user would be forced to delete the cloned record if they decided they didn't want to clone the record after all.
