RE: Help with Corporate Welcome Page Deployment ~Sean Ekfanamaroden 22.May.03 04:05 PM a Web browser Domino Administrator 6.0.1Windows 2000, Windows NT
For what it's worth, once we got the corporate welcome page out to the clients, updating it is no problem. In fact, we use a frameset on our welcome page, and the items are of course updated as they change, dynamically. We put "time critical" information in its own database/view on the server and that shows up in one of the frames when there's something there, otherwise that frame is blank.
One other hint: We put the actual frameset for our welcome page in a separate database on the server (let's call it database B). The actual welcome page that gets pushed to the users (in database A) simply is a frame that references the frameset in database B. So I can update the frameset to my heart's content but the welcome page only has to get pushed to the users once - it always points to the database B frameset. One trick I had to do to make this work is to add the main frameset (in database A) to the bookmark.ntf file on the server, and have the users refresh the design of their bookmark file from the server to get the frameset.
Note: Changes to the design of the frameset (in database B) only appear when the users: a) start Notes, b) change locations, or c) swap welcome pages to something else (like Basics) and then back again. This isn't a problem for us because most users reboot every morning, and the frameset design is fairly static once we got it where we wanted it. Changes to the elements in the frames are shown immediately, of course, like any database changes normally do.
