Drag-N-Drop Files support for Quickr 8.5

I have been using Quickr 8.5 since quite some times. I am really impressed with Quickr 8.5 performance enhancement, i did blogged on the same. Quickr 8.5 does not support drag and drop functionality, as IBM removed java dependency.

I have seen lots of post on drag and drop support with Quickr 8.5. Though i understand that it was a good feature but, that required ActiveX component. For large environment iinstallation of ActiveX component was additonal overhead.

I personally do not prefer ActiveX rollout or having ActiveX support for Quickr. Specially on locked user access environment.

For those who still wants to use Drag and Drop functionality with Quickr 8.5, Good news !!! You can now customized Quickr 8.5 to have drag and drop functionality, needs to have ActiveX installed.


Refer Quickr Wiki for detailed step by step customization guide.

Lotus Connections Files and Status Updates Plugins for Lotus Notes

For those who have Lotus Connections implemented in their Organization, there is a reason to smile. Status Update and Files plugins are now available as Notes side bar.

I am using that's since last few weeks. For plugin details visit IBM Business Solutions Catalog for additional plugins and widgets.

There`s a nice presentation from Mitch Cohen available here.

Extended Directory Catalog and misleading field title "Replication history"

Recently while working on Extended Directory Catalog issues, i noticed a interesting thing. If you edit Extended Directory profile and go to advance tab, you will notice a field "Replication history" and clear button next to it.

Here is the confusion, ideally as per the field title this is suppose to clear the Replication history. But, this is not the case. Clear button actually clears the Catalog aggregation history and not replication history.

If you click on Replication history field for help, it will clearly explain about clearing aggregation history.

 Incase of Condensed Directory Catalog this field is correctly labelled as Aggregation history.
 

Looks like IBM developer forgot to rename field corectly. This title Replication history is misleading and creates confusion specially for new admins. Hope this post helps to rectify the same.
