Notes Server Login - How to redirect to Ext.Nd Login

[Mike Amberg]

Is it possible to intercept the standard Notes Server Login form and display an Ext.nd Server login form? Currently when I right-click on a view to edit a document the Standard Server Login form is displayed. I would like to present an Ext.nd style of form.

Environment:
Ext Version: Ext.nd 2.01 Beta
Notes Server: Release 6.5.5FP2 on Windows NT 5.2

(This may be a silly question, but I just need to know...)

Why's the login form coming up? Are you viewing the view with a different login that you'd use if you edit a doc?

[Mike Amberg]

The database has maximum internet access set to "editor", the form has an author field, restricting who can edit the document (in this case users with the role "admin").

Anyone can view the documents (its our companies global addressbook of our offices and partners) but only specified individuals will be allowed to edit selected documents.

When we merged Domino YUI (Rich), Domino Web Tools (me), and DExt (Jake Howlett), there was a 'login' method that Jake had that when called would open a modal dialog asking for your username and password to log you in. We never converted that to work with our Ext 2.x version so I'll look into what it would take to do so and see if we can get it in an upcoming release (maybe the next beta if it isn't too difficult)

Well, I don't know the accepted solution in Ext.nd is, but my awful hack for this situation is to:

1) Run an ajax request for the document you're trying to load in edit mode (with the whole ?EditDocument business on the end).

2) Test the responseText to see if it's the default login page (just search for action="/names.nsf?Login" ).

3) If it is the default login page, present your pretty Ext one, fire away a request at "/names.nsf?Login" to get the server authorization, and then try and load the original requested document again.

Seriously, though -- don't do this.

Hey, doesn't look bad -- I was lazy though, so I just tacked mine on to the "requestcomplete" handler of the global Ext.Ajax object. :P

So how is it coming along? Are you still at 85 percent?
