Creating an SFTP Utility in SSJS using JSch 
By Shean McManus | 9/29/16, 4:04 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
I recently had a requirement to write some ssjs utilities to handle basic SFTP functions. I’m not FTP expert so it was new to me that FTPS has functions built into the Apache Commons FTP library but SFTP does not. (For more on FTP vs FTP/S vs SFTP, check out this article.)

Twitter Bootstrap provides some convenient grid scaffolding to use for responsive design applications. The xs-sm-md and lg classes allow you to adjust your design based on the screen real estate available. Sometimes, however, this isn’t enough.

On Monday May 9, I presented with Eric McCormick at ICON US on Normalizing xPages Web Development. Here are the slides from that session. Demo code will be available soon as we have a few tweaks to make before posting that link.
An Effective Use of the 'attr' Property on xPage Elements
By Shean McManus | 1/11/16, 10:16 PM | - | Added by John Oldenburger
JQuery is a common javascript library today that can be used for any number of client side operations. Sometimes it can be difficult to construct the right selector with xPage elements due to the way the engine renders the id tag. Sure it is common to use the elements class attribute as a selector but sometimes that can only serve to muck up your design as you may already have several style sheets used for design.
Converting HTML Tags to XPage Tags

As xPages becomes a common platform for other modern web frameworks, you may find yourself writing a lot of standard HTML (such as Twitter Boostrap markup) in your Domino Designer source panel. Here is a convenient reminder that most HTML tags can be converted to xPage tags by adding the xp: prefix.
Using a placeholder with Select2 in xPages
By Shean McManus | 9/17/15, 7:46 AM | - | Added by John Oldenburger
Select2 is a fantastic component that provides for a very nice alternative to the classic combo box. While working with it this week I ran into an issue where I was unable to get the placeholder option to work. Turns out you need to seed your values array with a null value or else the placeholder won't display.

In my last post I detailed a technique I used to hack the design of the xPages Extension Library DataView control to enhance a printable page of our corporate directory. In this post I'll show an alternative method that does not use any xPage controls.
Hacking the xPages Data View CSS to Enhance Display

A few weeks ago I was tasked with creating a new printable version of our corporate directory for use in production areas where phones were not located near workstations. Until this point this list had been maintained manually.
Using Twitter Bootstrap to Create a Mobile Schedule for a Youth Sports League

This baseball season I am the coordinator for my son's second grade league. I decided to create an app for all the parents that would include field information, schedules and coaches contact information. Using Twitter Bootstrap makes this really easy because most of the components are responsive and will work with any size screen.
My First Contribution to Openntf.org

I created the xGroupToolbox that has a couple tools that can be deployed and accessed by anyone in your organization. The tools provide a drop down list of applications and returns the groups listed in the ACL, group adminstrator(s), and links to both the group and administrator.
