A coworker has been struggling with this problem.
The desired result is an installable plugin for Notes that will add a button emails with attachments that will let users save the attachment to a document management system.
Finding documentation on doing this for Notes has been an uphill battle to say the least.
Writing the actual java to do the work isn’t a problem, but figuring out how to extend Notes is.
So, is there a way to add a button/icon to the toolbar, or is it just a matter of adding a new toolbar? If we add a new toolbar then can we make it only visible (or just grey it out otherwise) when no email is open?
Both Lotus Notes 8+ and Lotus Symphony use the IBM Lotus Expeditor Toolkit.
If you get the Lotus Symphony SDK here.
Their are one or two examples dealing with adding button’s to the symphony toolbar.
They should translate almost identically to Notes.
Good Luck,
