Really looking forward to the @engageug conference next week, it is an excellent opportunity to share experiences with other @HCLDigital users. I am presenting on our app modernisation journey - you can see the draft slides at focul.net/engage-2024-draft-… #engageug

#dominoforever if XPages CKEditor Rich Text does not work in UK Domino 11 FP8 there is a simple fix from 8 months ago => support.hcltechsw.com/kb_vie… . This may also be useful for Australians and Canadians. I believe that a similar scheme works for French Canadians. #3wasteddays

#dominoforever community, struggling with CKEditor and Domino 11.01 FP8 . XPage rich text fields no longer work. CKEditor was upgraded to 4.18 in FP8 although this was not in the release notes. Has anyone else had this issue ? focul.net/problems-with-domi…

#dominoforever folks, the built in CSRF protection in Domino 11 rotates the token every page load whereas the latest OWASP recommendation is to rotate it per session for robustness. Does D14 use this improved scheme ? cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/c…

#DominoForver is anyone using Apache POI with Domino 14 to manipulate MS Word ? Are you using the bundled POI or the @openntf POI 4 XPages - openntf.org/internal/home.ns… Failing that is anyone using Apache POI serverless ? Ta

#dominoforever folks, just downgraded from Domino nomad web 1.07 because of a categorised view bug. Database views need to be robust as they are the building blocks for all Apps. HCL Ticket raised cc @HCL_CollabSup focul.net/categorised-view-p…

I have updated this post to include a copy of the test database that reproduces this issue on Nomad 1.07 ( and Notes 12.0.2 ) as HCL needed it proving again for Nomad.
