Aside from doing a lot of XPages development, I recently worked on a tool to add mail signatures. The aim was to provide a solution that adds the signatures on a server to avoid to push information to the profile in the users mailfile.
Using a server based solution also makes sure that the signature will be added to any kind of outgoing mails, regardless if it is send from the Notes Client, WebMail or a mobile device.
A signature configuration can be used for an individual user ( or group of users ), a department ( */dev/emea/us ) or fo all users in the company. Within the signature configuration you can use placeholders that are filled at runtime. You can also use a log0, that can be prepended or appended to the signature. You can also use the logo anywhere inside your signature using a {{LOGO}} tag.
This gives you a high grade of flexibility creating the signature.
There can be another signature that is used when sending mails internally.
Signatures are designed using a RichText item; the content is then “translated” to HTML. If you are familiar with HTML/CSS, you can create and style your signature in the HTML item directly.
The tool runs on Windows 2003/2008 32/64bit and Linux ( tested with SLES 11/32Bit )
Hey Ulrich,
Looks very good.
Werner
Very cool , Can you shear it ?
For the first time in my dev life, I have to say: “No, I can’t”. This is work that I did for my company, and we would be glad to sell it and make some money. 🙂
Hey eknori,
great work – please send information about licensing costs, when available !!!
Rainer
@Rainer: forwarded your request to sales dept.
Hey Eknori,
Good work! How much would a license cost for a company with 50 users?
I see you have a version on openntf.org. Is that version free, and how does it differ.
Many thanks for your help.
David
The versions are the same and the ONTF version is free. The company I did this for no longer exists.
Thanks Eknori. I will give it a try!
