opening a url instead of document form in LN embedded view - lotus-notes

I know this is a bit old Lotus Notes question but I will still ask this here since I haven't found any solution on the web about my query.
I have an embedded view in a form that I launch in via web, what I want to do is when I click on a record on the embedded view instead of opening the document of that form, it will open another form that contains another embedded view. I hope my question is clear enough for everyone to understand, but if its not I will revise it if needed.
Is this possible or not? thank you in advance.
I haven't tried this ever since. So sorry if it's a bit newbie.

Not sure if you want to open the document with another form or if you want to open another form only...
If you want to open the document with another form:
In the embedded view you can specify a form formuly in Domino Designer. Type in the name of the form that you want to open and from nowon all documents will open with the form specified here. Of course you can alos specify more complex formulas with certain conditions.
If you just want to open another form you can change the link column with html code to generate a link. The HTML must be specified in sqared brackets. The following sample generates a link o http://www.openntf.org in a column of a notes view.
"[custom link label]"
Updated: use field value as link label
sample to open a form in another database (just replace , and with real values):
"[" + <yourfieldnamehere> + "]"

The easiest thing would be to change the "Form"- formula of the embedded view to use the new form when clicking the link.

Create two edit button with different settings

I've created a version tracking that will show all the edited document inside view. What if I want to make all document be draft at the same time, and during that, document can't be edit. And after I click save, all draft document will be saved at the same time.
Edit 1
I have one more question when I do version tracking, how can I make all response document cannot be edit? only current document can be edit?
UPDATE QUESTION
Currently, I am using version tracking to show all list with all edit document. So for now, every time I click EDIT, it will show all history of updated.
So I want create a situation where I have 2 edit option which is EDIT and PC Specification. I want to set PC Specification after edit document, it updated all history under version tracking, but for EDIT I don't want it update under version tracking. Because, for EDIT function, it only for edit one or two information BUT for PC Specification, it is to update all information. For example, I have 3 documents inside the "Computer" view.
When I open one document, it will show document details. On top menu, I have two buttons which are Edit and Close Windows. So can I add one more toolbar? Which is PC Spec as below?
So I will click the PC Spec button on the toolbar then the documents will open as a new document with same document information. Same as edit function. After I click save, it overwrite document + show edit history
For another situation where I click EDIT, same as PC Spec but after I click save, it overwrite document only.
As shown below, the history is when document edit using PC Spec only.
Another question, I have "Archived" view. How can I show only history of document inside "Archived" view?
Hope you guys can understand this. Please ask me anything if you not understand. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! :)
Regarding your second question, to make all response documents non-editable, you will have to
Give your regular users Author access instead of Editor access in the database's Access Control List and assign them a role, which I'll call "AppUsers".
Give yourself and anyone else who will be responsible for managing the app a role which I'll call "AppAdmins".
Add a hidden computed field with type "Authors" to the form and set the initial value formula to
#If(#IsResponseDoc;"[AppAdmins]";"[AppUsers]":"[AppAdmins]")
Note that this will not have any effect on existing documents until you refresh and re-save them.
Then, you're going to have to hope that automatic versioning refreshes the documents. I'm not sure if it does or does not. If it does not, then you're probably going to have to give up on using the native versioning and write your own version using LotusScript. As I recall, that's what was done in the standard Lotus document library template, because the native versioning is pretty limited in what it can do.
As for your first question, I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you're asking. I can't tell in some parts whether you are telling us what you have already done, or what you want to do. Here on StackOverflow, the best way to get useful answers is to show us very clearly what you have tried, tell us what happens, and tell us what you thought should have happened instead. This is a place for helping you fix your code, not a place to get tutorials that amount to explicit instructions on how to write your code in the first place.

Use SPFx to modify the 'edit form' from a modern document library

Right now I am learning SPFx for SharePoint Online. My customer wants to modify the 'edit form' of a document library in a way that if a user starts typing keywords into the Summary field, predifined keywords are displayed which share the same letters in the beginning.
I was wondering if I can use SPFx to geht this job done
I thought maybe I can bind the ID of the summary textbox to a javascript file which then does the heavy lifting.
Thank you for your help
Yes, you can create a edit form with SPFx, however, you can't replace the default edit form with the one you created with SPFx.
The only way to replace the default edit form is using PowerApps or InfoPath to create a new form, however, I don't think that we can achieve the goal with these two solution.
Maybe you should create your own list web part, and implement the edit button of the web part, such that the web part will show your edit form with the auto completion.

Customizing the "Upload Document" Form in SharePoint 2010 based on Content type

When you click on the name of a library, go to the documents tab, click on "upload document".
An upload form appears that is created using the dialog framework. The 1st choice on the form is content type.
I need to instead launch a custom infopath form that will allow me to dynamically populate a 2nd dropdown box on the page after the content type (still 1st) dropdown is populated.
I feel like I'm really grasping at straws here. At this point I could use a reference to a relevant section of a book, a link to a relevant post or even just the correct terms to put into a google search. What is the correct name for that form?
I found this which seems to teach you how to insert a customized aspx form: http://microsoftsharepointandbeyond.blogspot.com/2009/10/customizing-ootb-sharepoint-forms.html
But I'd really like one that uses Infopath instead.
Any advice or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure doing this with infopath is not possible, the forms are bound to a (codebehind) class in the SharePoint object model, which handles the actual upload (add to list, set field values etc. etc.).
A custom aspx page would be possible though, exactly as the post you mentioned descibes. I agree with the post's author that an HttpModule would be best, because:
editing the OOTB upload.aspx in the 14 hive would make your environment unsupported (i.e. if anything brakes, MS will have you revert your farm to a supported state before they come and help you.
The next time you install an update for sharepoint, your changes could be overwritten.

Hyperlink to Document Library by Id?

In Sharepoint 2007, when linking to a folder or file in a Document Library, the url is long and cumbersome. Is it possible to link by the ID field?
e.g., http://domain/path/doclib/Forms/AllItems.aspx?ID=275
Whats the problem with http://domain/sites/whatever/Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmoss2007dev%3A20000%2Fsites%2Farcnet%2FLists%2FAnnouncements%2FAllItems.aspx
If you remove the Source parameter your left with Whats the problem with http://domain/sites/whatever/Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=1. The only problem you'll have then is that the cancel button will not necessarly return you where you came from. (The cancel button would send you back to the default view as far as I know..)
On the other hand you could sneak in some code which does the redirect from a view or actually opens the document.
I know you asked specifically about 2007, but SharePoint 2010 has a cool new Document ID feature that will allow you to refer to any document in the Site Collection using the following format:
http://[sitecollectionurl]/_layouts/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=[documentID]

Sharepoint Custom List with custom new forms not able to add to folders

I have a custom list which has customized edit and new forms which were required by the user.
I then tried to add a new item to a folder (folders have the text of the year e.g. 2010) and when I click save on the customized new form it saves correctly but always to the root of the list.
I am wondering if there is a fix or a work around for this as it is highly annoying.
Alternatively can anyone recommend a way to implement a field which will auto calculate + 1 year from creation date, which might be a possible alternative however it will have to take into account the following.
Where the current year runs october to september.
Thanks for any help this has been driving me mad trying to find a solution.
Can't help much without knowing what you based the custom form on, but for a new form the folder to save to usually shows up in the query string.
The form is a basic custom form list which I have then just modified parts to remove fields that are not required or need to be read only.
The original form worked perfectly and allowed items to be added to the list subfolders.
The new one has no additional code and is using the standard sharepoint DataFormWebPart to create the custom list form and so I have no back end code to insert the item etc, although I may have to resort to this...will I?
You need to be careful when modifying standard forms. I recommend you go back to a copy of the standard form and verify that that saves correctly. Remove the "unneeded" fields until it stops working.
Sometimes with this sort of customisation you need to use css rather than server side changes to modify the form so that the functionality remains in place after the component is hidden.
It is definitely not an issue with the removal of fields as I created a new copy of the original and then changed it to a custom field saved it and tried to add an item.
It went straight into the root.
I tried the original form and it saves to the sub folder correctly.
Okay only work around I have for this at moment (I am currently in discussion with MS) is this.
http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2007/06/13/using-javascript-to-manipulate-a-list-form-field.aspx
I used the method getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title)
This returned the element I was after and then I basically went to the row dom node and deleted it.
I am hoping to have a nicer method but at least it is a work around for now.
