A customer who had started a proof of concept wanted to develop and deploy the app as a production application. However, the page title (seen in the tab of the browser) showed the old name and they didn't know how to correct it. Also, they wanted to change the project name itself. Read on if you've ever come across the same issue or want a guide to point your new business developers.
Rich Text Editor Woes
During the last few weeks I was brought in to a new Mendix project to help troubleshoot and fix production bugs. One issue that was especially difficult to figure out involved the creation of a document based on a template with a whole lot of tokens. For those uninitiated, tokens are attributes that you can use in your application for emails or document generation to allow the dynamic values to populate instead of fixed text. Once I figured out what was causing the issue, I found what I believe is a limitation of the “generateDocument” action in a Microflow. I’m creating a ticket about this but if you’re interested in the problem and short-term solution, read on and I’ll explain.
How To Make Your Mendix Application Environment Aware
While perusing the Mendix Forum this week I saw someone post the question as to how to make their Mendix Application aware that it was in Dev, Test, or Production. It had already been answered with a technique I use but for the novice Mendix user I’m not sure the answer was clear enough to be followed. I’m going to share what I do and what I’ve learned about this in greater detail to hopefully clarify the opaque answers given in the forum.
