Extend Views With Linked Category Strings And Mouseover Statusline For Categories And Documents

Extend Views With Linked Category Strings And Mouseover Statusline For Categories And Documents

Before using this code replace all { and } by square brackets. Replace the
words "xcript" by "script"


Code is easy to use and interesting for developers who like to modify Notes
standard views without leaving the the scope of @functions.

Use the given codes in views in order to
1. generate the link-URL for the category-strings too and not only for the
twisties
2. use an individual JS-mouseover Statusline message
3. work with JavaScript disabled Browsers as ususal without further modification

Modifications to your needs are straight forward.

Put the following code in the approriate form $$ViewTemplate (resp.
$$ViewTemplateDefault if you don't use individual ViewTemplates). JS-Variable
DQ stands for DoubleQuote (") and SQ for for SingelQuote (') which are
generated by JS-function "unescape".

"<XCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">" + @NewLine +
"<!--" + @NewLine +
" DQ=unescape(\"%22\"); " + @NewLine +
" SQ=unescape(\"%27\"); " + @NewLine +
"//-->" + @NewLine +
"</XCRIPT>" + @NewLine



Put the following code in row-Formula when Row is Categorized

Text := LastName;
StatusText := Title + " " + FirstName + " " + LastName;
Face := "verdana, arial, helvetica";
Size : "2";
Color := #800000;

"{<XCRIPT>" +
"document.write(" +
"\"<A HREF=\"+DQ+document.links{document.links.length-1}+DQ+\"
onmouseover=\"+DQ+\"window.status=(\"+SQ+\""

Put the following code in row-Formula when Row is NOT Categorized offering a
link to the document.

Path := @ReplaceSubstring( @Subset(@DbName; -1); "\\"; "/");
View := @Subset(@ViewTitle; -1);
DocID := @Text( @DocumentUniqueID) );
Text := TextItemFromDocument;
StatusText := @Ascii(@ReplaceSubstring( Text; "\'" : "\""; "\\\'" : "\\\'" ) );
Face := "verdana, arial, helvetica";
Size : "2";
Color := #000000;

"{<A HREF=\"" + "/" + Path + "/" + View + "/" + DocID + "?OpenDocument\" " +
"onmouseover=\"window.status=(\'" + StatusText + "\'); return true\" " +
"onmouseout=\"window.status=(\'\'); return true\">" +
"<FONT FACE=\"" + Face + "\" SIZE=\"" + Size + "\" COLOR=\"" + Color + "\">" +
Text + "</FONT>" +
