Examples: TemplateName property

  1. This script gets the template name of DISCUSS4.NTF. The TemplateName property returns "StdR4Disc."
    Dim db As New NotesDatabase( "", "discuss4.ntf" )
Dim template As String
template = db.TemplateName
Messagebox( template )
  2. Given a user name, server, and file name, this sub creates a new mail file for the user from the mail template. It uses the TemplateName property to find the StdR4Mail template.
    Sub createMailFile( user As String, server As String, _
file As String )
  Dim templateDb As NotesDatabase
  Dim mailDb As NotesDatabase
  Dim directory As New NotesDbDirectory( server )
  Set templateDb = directory.GetFirstDatabase( TEMPLATE )
  While Not ( templateDb.TemplateName = "StdR4Mail" )
    Set templateDb = directory.GetNextDatabase
  Wend
  Call templateDb.Open( "", "" )
  Set mailDb = templateDb.CreateFromTemplate _
  ( server, "mail\"+file, True )
  mailDb.Title = user + " Mail"
  Call mailDb.GrantAccess( "Administrators", _
      ACLLEVEL_MANAGER )
  Call mailDb.GrantAccess( user, ACLLEVEL_EDITOR )
  If ( server <> "" ) Then
    Call mailDb.GrantAccess( server, ACLLEVEL_MANAGER )
  End If
End Sub

    A sample call to this sub might look like this:

    Call createMailFile( "Brandon Herkle", "Pyongyang", _
  "brandon.nsf" )
