News: Free 'Web 2.0' Template for QuickPlace!
Category None
I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of QDoc, a free template for IBM Lotus QuickPlace 7 that provides Web 2.0 capabilities to QuickPlace users. An upgrade to the standard QuickPlace templates, QDoc makes significant enhancements to QuickPlace:
QDoc can be deployed several ways - as a placetype itself, as a customization to existing places or placetypes, or its code may be incorporated into existing custom themes, css and placebots. All these options are documented.
QDoc is free, open-source code developed and maintained by SNAPPS (the official IBM Design Partner for QuickPlace) in cooperation with IBM. Technically speaking, it contains a number of innovations that are quite interesting to developers for their own Domino and QuickPlace applications - so taking it apart will be fun. For users, it gives QuickPlace a great new look and a very responsive and intuitive interface, enabled with Ajax controls. We've used some of the same technology that is going into QuickPlace 8.0, but you can deploy it today on QuickPlace 7.
To download QDoc, and for information about the availability of two more free advanced templates QWiki and QBlog, see www.snapps.com/qptools. We are working on a mechanism for you to submit bugs and make feature requests...this will be ready by the time QWiki and QBlog are done. In the meantime please feel free to email me questions.
Look forward to a couiple technical articles on QDoc and the other templates, and an interview with Viktor Krantz, the chief architect behind them!
Thanks and enjoy...

- A streamlined custom theme
- Enhanced folders - better navigation, no refreshes, and a selectable number of documents to view (10, 30 or 50 at a time)
- Expand/Collapse controls on discussion folders (we've wanted this so long that we built it!)
- A brand new way to view QuickPlace folders - "Synopsis View", with direct access to abstracts, metadata and the attachments straight from the view
QDoc can be deployed several ways - as a placetype itself, as a customization to existing places or placetypes, or its code may be incorporated into existing custom themes, css and placebots. All these options are documented.
