No need for a registry key… just have the user hold down the Control key (Ctrl) when starting the Manage Web Site Portals solution, which will force the display of the portal manager tab. The user can then recheck the ‘show this settings… ‘ option. Ensure the user presses the Save Changes button at the end of the process.

When you view the applet source code within FormativCentral, you see the full code to be executed. Apart from some internal flags used by Formativ, there is no additional applet code generated when you select the startup event.

When the applet is executed, all GroupWise event integration defined for the applet is handled by the Formativ solutions engine.

As a side note, when an applet executes you can check the Sub Main’s GWEvent parameter to determine which GroupWise event initiated the applet. This enables the applet developer to provide different functionality depending on how the applet is triggered.

The GWEvent constant string values are shown below. These are the same as listed in the Novell C3PO SDK header files.

GW#C#ACCEPT
GW#C#ARCHIVE
GW#C#COMPLETE
GW#C#COMPOSE
GW#C#DECLINE
GW#C#DELEGATE
GW#C#DELETE
GW#C#DOC_CHECKIN
GW#C#DOC_CHECKOUT
GW#C#DOC_RESETINUSE
GW#C#FORWARD
GW#C#INFO
GW#C#OPEN
GW#C#PRINT
GW#C#PROPERTIES
GW#C#REPLY
GW#C#RESEND
GW#C#SAVE
GW#C#SAVEAS
GW#C#SETALARMS
GW#C#UNDELETE
GW#C#VIEW
GW#C#SEND

I hope this helps.

Yes, it is possible. The code below will display a message box once a day in the client. We also have a free applet available on GroupWise Cool Solutions, Conditions of Use, which can be configured to display the pop-up terms on a daily, weekly, monthly basis etc.. As with all current applets on GroupWise Cool Solutions, The ‘Conditions of Use’ installer includes the source code.

‘——————————————————————————-
‘ This sample applet pop-up a message box once a day in the GroupWise client.

const IDS_CAPTION = “Formativ Business Solutions”
const IDS_TEXT = “Do not use GroupWise unless you are an authorised user”

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
  
  dim iFSO
  dim iFilePath
  dim iDateStamp
  
    
  set iFSO = Utilities.FileSystem
  
  iFilePath = Utilities.GetDataDirectory & "Startup_Log.txt"
  
  
  ' Start-up log file not exists, We display the text, create the file and save the
  ' today's date.
  if not iFSO.FileExists(iFilePath) then
    call msgbox (IDS_TEXT, vbExclamation, IDS_CAPTION)
    call Utilities.SaveStringToFile(Utilities.DateToISO(Date), iFilePath, TRUE)
    exit sub
  end if
  
  
  ' We read the date-stamp from the file. 
  iDateStamp = trim(Utilities.LoadStringFromFile(iFilePath)) 
  if (len(iDateStamp) > 0) then
    iDateStamp = Utilities.ISOToDate(iDateStamp)
  end if
  
  
  ' We are in the same date but different session (date difference is 0) then we will 
  ' not display the text.
  if (DateDiff("d", date, iDateStamp) = 0) then

You can download the distribution kit from:

http://www.advansyscorp.com/download/formativdistkit.exe

This has an example of the INI file to be used with the Windows installer.

The INI file entries provide separate functionality to the Windows installer command line switches. For example, the silent install is invoked with the ‘/S’ option and to register the software at the same time, use the /r-&ltRegistration Code&gt. As you probably have seen, these command line options are found in the Distribution Kit documentation.

I hope this is the information you are seeking.

BTW, please don’t feel concerned about asking questions on Formativ in these forums, regardless of the subject!

Yes, there is a modified date associated with a message. The following code shows the creation and modified time for the selected message. The selected message can be any message type (Appt, Mail, etc).

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' This test applet shows the creation and last modified time for the selected message.
'
' INTEGRATION: Message view toolbar
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
  
  dim iMsg
  
  on error resume next
  set iMsg = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage
  
  if iMsg is nothing then
    msgbox "Select a received or saved message to proceed." 
    exit sub
  end if
  
  
  msgbox "Created: " & iMsg.CreationDate & vbcrlf & "Modified: " & iMsg.ModifiedDate
  
  set iMsg = nothing
  
End Sub

Unfortunately, rule actions in GroupWise support plain text only. The only way you could include URLs is to use the full link, such as http://www.advansyscorp.com .

When you include the full URL, it is recommended that you ensure a space character follows the end of the URL before any other character, such as punctuation (full stop etc., as shown above). This is to help ensure that when the message is viewed with different mail applications, even with various versions of GroupWise, that the punctuation is not included erroneously as part of the URL when it is clicked by the user.

Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear that you are running again. The problem only appears to occur when you drag the pane divider all the way to the left and then close FormativCentral. It is the act of closing FormativCentral at this point which writes the zero value into the Registry, thus somehow precipitating the problem.

Ahh, to sleep, perchance to dream…. 😉

Thanks for the problem report, which we have been able to reproduce. It is definitely a bug and it will be fixed in the next update.

In the mean time, if you are familiar with using the Windows REGEDIT program to edit the Windows Registry, you should delete the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAdvansys Corporationformativ1.0SettingsListWidth

You will find that dragging the pane all the way to the left sets a value of 0x0000000 (0) and for some reason, once at 0, it can’t be dragged again.

Of course be sure not to delete any other key except this one. Reinstalling Formativ may achieve the same result.

Thanks for the report. When you refer to the Administration applet icon, I presume you mean the triangular ‘play’ icon which displays FormativCentral (Formativ Developer and Admin only)?

And under your Applets menu, are the Manage Applets and Start Recording entries missing?

As this is the first report of this issue, to help us pinpoint the problem it would be most appreciated if you could send us the Formativ configuration information by selecting the GroupWise client’s Help menu, select About Formativ, select the Configuration tab and use the Copy to Clipboard button, then paste the config info into an email to support@advansyscorp.com.

Thanks and regards,

It is very surprising that the operating system could affect the rights to eDirectory objects. This should not normally be the case and as yet, we don’t know how it could.

Which versions of the NetWare Client are you using in each case?

I presume that you are logging in as the same NetWare user?

What User level are you using for Win2K?

We are currently researching the issue. We have been using Win2K for a long time, including our main demo system, and there must be other factors at work here. As we cannot yet reproduce the problem, we suspect it is related to a rights issue, although as you are the admin user, it is rather puzzling. We need to gather more information.

Under normal circumstances, the following step is important:

Highlight the library and, by using the ‘Trustees of this object’ option, add the FormativAdministrator Organizational Role object as a trustee of the library. Enable the [Entry] Browse, Create, Delete, Rename, Inheritable and [All Attributes] Compare, Read, Write, Inheritable rights to the library object.

From the LDIF output, it appears that you have performed this step for the Global Applets library but not the Applet Development Library. However, you appear to have Admin rights so this should not be an issue. Are you unable to administer both the Global Applets and the Development libraries?

When you run FormativCentral, in the applet list are you able to see the ‘hammer’ icon next to the name of the applet library?

What happens if you move the FormativAdministrator role into the Formativ OU?

I will write to you directly on this matter to see if we can further troubleshoot the issue. Considering you need to do a demo today, we may need to provide you with an online Webex support session to see the issue first-hand.

Best regards,

This is very strange – I have not seen any reports of this nature before.

I would suggest the following:

– Disable Norton Antivirus to see if the upgrade is the cause of the problem.
– Disable Formativ via the Windows Control Panel to to see if that makes any difference.
– Are you using eDirectory? If so, use the Windows Control Panel applet to change the Formativ protocol from NDAP/LDAP to local applets only.
– Do you still have a default printer installed on the machine? If not, set a printer as the default and try again.

If any of these suggestions do not indicate the cause of the slowdown, we may need to send you a special build that should indicate where this delay is being introduced. I look forward to your response.

The following examples represent two different ways to extract the CC recipients.

  dim theAppt
  dim iRecipient
  
  Set theAppt = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage  
  
  for x = 1 to theAppt.Recipients.Count
    set iRecipient = theAppt.Recipients.Item(x)
    
    ' Display CC type only
    if (iRecipient.TargetType = fgwCC) then
      msgbox iRecipient.EmailAddress
    end if
    
    set iRecipient = nothing
  next

---

  msgbox GroupWise.ItemGetText(theAppt.MessageID, itfCC)

Unfortunately this problem occurs because the GroupWise 6.5 client’s HTML handling changed from prior versions. While this will be rectified by Novell in 6.5 SP1, in the mean time we have updated the Multiple Signatures, Stationery and Personalized Mass Email solution to work correctly with the current 6.5 release.

Please download the latest Formativ update, posted on April 28, from our Formativ download page at http://www.advansyscorp.com/formativ_download.htm . We have also updated the Today View solution to allow the creation of new apppointments and tasks.

Thank you for your posting and please let us know if you have any further problems.
