Dojo on Domino: Where do we find documentation ?

Category domino 8 dojo 1.1.1

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at using the integrated dojo toolkit shipped with domino 8.5.

By the past, i've played with an old dojo toolkit to get datas from a view on domino.

Now, i'm trying to reuse this old code to diplay some Calendar view (from mail files) on a unique web page, with possibility to create entries, change date, ....

But of course, old code is not reusable (the dojo.io.bind does not seems to work with dojo 1.1.1)

So here is a question:
What can i do with dojo 1.1.1, shipped with domino 8.5 ?
Is there a documentation on this dojo toolkit, some exemples to give it a try.
How can i get a Calendar view an display it with a beautiful css, xsl and so on...no exemple ?

For now, i've tried the XML/XSLT approach, without sucess, the json approach (with dojo but i'm lost with 1.1.1) and even the simple iframe approach (display the view, but very awful and unusuable)

Cheers

Gravatar Image1 - It's funny because I started writing a post on that same topic. I have a few Dojo books, and I have done a few apps where I added Dojo controls for a better UI, but as I learn XPages, I am wandering why we don't have more documentation on how to use Dojo in conjunction with XPages.

All I can tell you for now is to go look at the www.dojomino.com web site, where Lance Spellman is doing a lot of work integrating Dojo and Domino applications.

If you get more links or info, please pass it on!!!

I everyday read lance's blog. I've use his tips many time by the past, but now, i found other things:

{ Link }

many pages to look for, many guys answering all our questions.

I found other things via planetlotus, but i can not found a real exemple on transforming a calendar view on something more readable like the calendar in iNotes.

I have to do it myself. (and learning xpage first, during my long witer nights..)

I imagine the solution is in xpage.
Json and dojo seem to be more complicated to do what i want.

thanks a lot for your help Benoît. It's always a pleasure to see that someone is reading this blog.

Hi - wareSource.com just posted a new course, Domino Designer 8.5: Browser Applications and Dojo, which may be helpful to Domino developers who are new to Dojo and who want to quickly and easily improve browser applications that use the traditional Domino Form/View design architecture.

You can read the description at:

I've emailed these guys and the coure material is basically for instructors, but they have developers who purchase it anyway and use it as a self help course.

No personal experience to share though, but I'm trying to see if my company will get a hold of this to see if it's good material.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the link.

25$ per user...better than the latest TLCC course { Link } but i do not know the company.

Gravatar Image5 - There are limitations with dojo 1.1 - some of the stuff I had working with dojomino didn't work with 8.5. It may be worth waiting for 8.5.1 (within next 20 days). Hopefully that will have dojo 1.3.
The main areas of dojo I've had difficulties with in Domino are filteringSelect and dataStores, for which dojomino helped. Other than that I used { Link }
