Lotusscript code to append hotspot to a richtext field

My aim is to append a Link hotspot to the rich text field of a notes document as illustrated in the following image on a button click

The following code helped me perform the same
/***************************************************************************/
Function AppendHotspotLink (rtitem As NotesRichTextItem, url As String) As String
'** This function will attempt to append a button to a given
'** NotesRichTextItem, using code that has been assigned
'** to this object after it has been created (using the SetCode
'** method). The code language (as set with the SetLanguageType
'** method) can be either LotusScript or Formula language.

'** If there is an error creating the button (often because the code
'** doesn't compile correctly), this function will return the error
'** message. If the button is created properly, an empty string
'** will be returned.
On Error Goto processError

'** if no rich text item was given to us, just exit without doing anything
If (rtitem Is Nothing) Then
Exit Function
End If

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim body As NotesRichTextItem
Dim importer As NotesDXLImporter

Dim buttonCode As String

Note: Use the following code to test the above function

Dim rtitem As NotesRichTextItem

Dim result As String

'** grab the first selected doc in the view
Set doc = session.CurrentDatabase.UnprocessedDocuments.GetFirstDocument

CopyDirectory Function in Java

The following function will help you copy a directory from one location to an other.I got this good function with the help of my friend google :)

public void copyDirectory(File sourceLocation , File targetLocation)
   throws IOException {
       
       if (sourceLocation.isDirectory()) {
           if (!targetLocation.exists()) {
               targetLocation.mkdir();
           }
           
           String[] children = sourceLocation.list();
           for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
               copyDirectory(new File(sourceLocation, children[i]),
                       new File(targetLocation, children[i]));
           }
       } else {
           
           InputStream in = new FileInputStream(sourceLocation);
           OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(targetLocation);
           
           // Copy the bits from instream to outstream
           byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
           int len;
           while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
               out.write(buf, 0, len);
           }
           in.close();
           out.close();
       }
   }

Usage:

                File source=new File("c:\\ak");

File target=new File("c:\\bk");

try {

copyDirectory(source,target);

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

Open Xpage from a Notes Form or View on Notes Client 8.5.1

In order to open a xpage ( say a document on a xpage) from a Notes Form or View from the notes client, use a button or a hot spot that contains a code fragment similar to the following,

@URLOpen("notes://servername/databasepath/XpageName.xsp?openXPage&documentId=documentUniqueID&action=editDocument")

Note the usage of the word openXPage in the query string. Ensure that it is present there, 'cos the XPage wont open up if it does not have this part in the url and instead it will open up the default view of the database instead.

Setting "Do not locally Encrrypt" by default

Copying Databases into our local file system with encryption is one of the head ache in most of the times when u really dont want any security to be associated with the database being copies, example POCs etc

Setting this property is some thing that I use time and again and forget where I did it.

Hope the following piece of info helps people recollect this stuff.

-->choose File
-->Security
-->User Security 
--> Notes Data 
--> Notes Databases 
--> select "Do not locally encrypt" 
--> click OK

It is as illustrated in the following image,
