Notes 8.5.2 FP2 and Lotus Connections Plugins Might Not Play Nicely Together

Back in February I blogged about the Lotus Connections Files and Status Updates Plugins for Lotus Notes.  These are excellent plugins that I use every day, and I would recommend them to anyone running both Lotus Notes and IBM Connections.

If you are running Notes 8.5.2 with Fix Pack 2, apparently a fix to the Connections code in Fix Pack 2, broke the Files and Status plugins, from the technote:

    One Curious Guy –

    I too like the file and activity plug-in. Are there any other Connections plug ins for the Notes client? For example Forums.

    Thanks
    Also curious

      Henry – today the integration between the Notes client and Connections for Plugins is Status, Files, and Activities. There is also the ability to search Connections from the Notes client, as well as use the RSS reader to subscribe to Communities, forums etc..

      If there is something specific you want to see as a plugin we can certainly bring it to IBM as an enhancement request (or build it ourselves)
