Adding a "Copy Notes:// Link" button to Lotus Notes

To add a button to the Notes  toolbar which copies a notes:// style link to the current document to the clipboard

• Go to File -> Preferences -> Toolbar -> Customise
• Click New -> Button...
• Set fields as follows:

Caption text - "Notes: Link"
Popup help "Copy  'notes:' link to clipboard"
Formula:

serverNameAbb := @Name([Abbreviate];@Subset(@DbName;1));
serverNameCommon := @Name([CN];@Subset(@DbName;1));
serverDNSName := @DbLookup(""; "":"names.nsf"; "Connections"; serverNameAbb; "OptionalNetworkAddress"; [FailSilent]);

REM {For server names that contain spaces, always use the DNS name instead, because notes:// links do not work when the server name contains spaces.};
serverNameCommon := @If( @Contains(serverNameCommon;" "); serverDNSName; serverNameCommon );

REM {Database, View and Document url links.};

serverNameCommonEncoded := @URLEncode("Domino";@LowerCase(serverNameCommon));
urlDatabase := @LowerCase( "notes://" + @URLEncode("Domino";serverNameCommon) + "/" + @WebDbName );
urlView := @LowerCase( urlDatabase + "/" + @URLEncode("Domino";@Subset(@ViewTitle;-1)) );
urlDocument := @LowerCase( urlDatabase + "/0/" + @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) );

urlDatabaseDNS := @ReplaceSubstring(urlDatabase; serverNameCommonEncoded; serverDNSName);
urlViewDNS := @ReplaceSubstring(urlView; serverNameCommonEncoded; serverDNSName);
urlDocumentDNS := @ReplaceSubstring(urlDocument; serverNameCommonEncoded;serverDNSName);

REM {Additional text to appear in the dialog box.};
databaseTitle := @Subset(@DbTitle;1);
documentTitle := @If( Title != ""; Title; Subject != ""; Subject; databaseTitle);
REM {Dialog Box messages};
dialogTitle := "Lotus Notes URL";
dialogMessage := "Press Ctrl-C to copy this URL.";
REM {Choices to appear in Dialog Box};
dialogChoices :=
@Unique(@Trim(
@If( Form=""; ""; ("(doc) " + documentTitle + " - " + urlDocument) ) :
("(db) " + databaseTitle + " - " + urlDatabase) :
("(view) " + databaseTitle + " - " + urlView)
));

REM {Display the Dialog Box};

@Prompt([OkCancelEditCombo]; dialogTitle; dialogMessage; @Subset(dialogChoices;1); dialogChoices)

• Change the icon to something appropriate, I usethis one:
• Finally, add the button to a toolbar which is widely used (e.g. Universal).

Thanks to Alex Lepofsky for this.

Essential Firefox Plugins

Have experimented with Chrome and like it - particularly the amount of screen real-estate it renders - but am running into a number of sites without Chrome support, so it's back to Firefox, plus plugins to give a Chrome-like experience.

The essential Firefox plugins for me are: 

Adblock Plus - obviously :-)

Tab Utils Lite - Adds tab duplication

Easy DragToGo  - opens tabs by dragging links

Pimpoflage - Hides top bars and status bars (also the menu bar can be hidden from standard Firefox toolbar customisation and displayed with the Alt key)  Mini-UI is a simple alternative which hides / reveals using rhe Ctrl key.

LastPass - Password manager that syncs passwords across browsers


Other invaluable add-ons: 

Gmail manager - Shows number of messages for multiple gmail accounts (check here for latest fixes)

Forecastfox weather -  Brilliant weather icons in the status bar


Delicious Bookmarks - Social bookmarking at its best

QuickProxy - Easily turn on/off proxy settings

Kaboodle - Sharing shopping lists


IBM add-ons:
Foxear - IBM internal delicious equivalent
IBM CCK - Internal search engines and password management
