Widget to the rescue of Widgets

Peter Smith  |     |  Tags:  proxy widgets rss  |  Comments (1)

One of the limitations of Widgets and RSS in the Standard Client sidebar is that if you are behind a proxy server, you need to enter the proxy information in the Notes location document (as Notes can't or won't detect the IE proxy settings).

Highly annoying (as I've said before). On my current project the customer has users who roam between US / EMEA / Asia and although we can preset a proxy setting when we roll the clients out, we don't want them having to change locations whenever they travel just for proxy info (which may change over time anyway).

So, we've come up with a scheme for a "where am I?" Widget, which allows users to select their location - which in turn updates the proxy info in their location doc. Proxy info will be held in the user's local CDC/MDC, as we can guarantee that everyone will have this database and we can amend and distribute changes centrally to it.

Ta-da! New functionality solving a problem that was of it's own making.
