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 )
  1. 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" )
