A document is where you can view the details .
And a form is something like a document where you can put inputs, choose whatever you want in a dropdown, fill up textfields and etc.
How can I put a link that will redirect to a form, and can be filled up?
Do I need to use appendDocLink?
And I'm very new to Domino Designer, please bear with me.
Add a Button, Action, or hotspot to your form, and give it a formula like this:
#Command[Compose];"": ""; "TheNameOfYourFormGoesHere");
You can find the syntax of the Compose command here.
I recommand not explaining what a form or a document is, but only ask you question...
In order to responde to your question tel us "where you want to put a link" (web / notes client ?)
You don't need appendDoclink.
Look at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Domino_URL_cheat_sheet/ you can make a (web) link to "redirect" user to create a new document = fill a form : http://Host/Database/FormName?OpenForm

I'm familiar with SharePoint but would like some guidance on developing a custom page.
I have 1 list and have created 3 different views.
On my Page, I have added a webpart to show the list.
I'd like to be able to add some form items - possibly radio buttons/ a picker/ or just text links at the top that would allow the user to switch views on the list below.
I'd like to add some other information and make the experience more intuitive for the user.
In short, is there a way to add a list web part and some options to choose the view of that list in another section of the page?
Sure, just do something like this
var dview = MyList.Views["YourViewTitle"];
dview.DefaultView = true;
dview.Update();
MyList.Update();
Each view has its own URL so you just need to use some HTML and JavaScript. When a box is checked or a button is clicked then you can load the URL of the view.
I have an Xpages application that pulls data from another .nsf file. I have a view panel linked to a view in that db. The view has documents with several different forms in it. I want to be able to open each document in it's own form(xpage).
How do I write a computed At Runtime, open selected document using: statement that will select the correct Xpage to present the document.
If you use the Data View component instead of a View Panel, you can compute the pageName attribute, referencing the var attribute to return a different value for each row based on the document that row represents. The flexibility of the Data View component also makes it easier to make your app look more like a modern web application and less like an Excel spreadsheet. As an additional bonus, the mobile theme invokes a renderer that makes each Data View instance look like a native mobile list, so using Data Views instead of View Panels simplifies mobile development.
You have 2 options:
use "use xpage associated with form" and edit the form's property
use a SSJS formula to compute the Form. You provide a variable name in the view control var to access a view row as XSPViewEntry. If the Form is in a view column even one you don't display you use .getColumnValue otherwise getDocument.getItemValueString
Does that work for you?
Maybe this mothed can help you: Unable to get document page name for
Hope this helps

I had a similar problem today. I use only one form but 3 different xpages for associated with this form. I have 3 different document types in the view. I used rowData the get the type of the document.
try{
var v=rowData.getColumnValue("form");
if(v.indexOf("x")> -1){var page ="x.xsp"}
else if(v.indexOf("y") > -1){var page = "y.xsp"}
else{var page = "z.xsp"}
}catch(e){
var page = "x.xsp"
}
So to your view you can create a column with the value of the form and you can use it.
I have used the extension library Dynamic View control which has an event you can code to get a handle to the NotesViewEntry which was selected. See the demo database page Domino_DynamicView.xsp and the Custom Event Handler tab for an example.
Note, in 8.5.3 (I have not upgraded yet) if you add or edit the eventHandler for onColumnClick it will be added to the XPages source as an xe:eventHandler. It needs to be an xp:eventHandler to work. The way to do it is to copy the code in the source from the exiting event and delete it. Recreate the event and update the code. Then go back into the source and change the tags within the eventHandler to xp:.
I have created a view which displays some informations.
Also, on top of view I created an action bar containing 2actions: New entry & Delete entry. There is also a form called 'formmain', where I have some fields & listboxes where I insert the informations that will appear on the view.
What I want to do and I ask for your help: I want when i click the action button 'New entry', the form called 'formmain' will open/be displayed. Thank you!
You can use the #Compose Formula command for this. Here's an example for your specific form:
#Command([Compose]; ""; "formmain")
I will recommend that you take a look at the Lotus Domino Designer Help database which is part of your Notes installation. It has a lot of useful information including code examples.
Does anyone know the syntax, or the way to redirect a sharepoint "New Item Form" to a URL and pass values from the form as parameters in the URL?
So if the form as a "lastname" field, I would want the redirect to be something like http://path_to_other_page?name=lastname
I know I need to use something like:
onclick="javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent(concat('__commit;__redirect={path_to_other_page.aspx?name=',/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row/#LastName))}"
Except that's not working for me - I think the "/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row/#LastName" is not correct - I was just trying to guess from other posts I had seen here...
Anyone?
That looks like something that would work on an edit form rather than a new form - that data is loaded when the page is loaded, not when it is submitted. To get the data in javascript you will need to access the textbox directly - jquery may be helpful.
I think you can use the SharePoint's build in Modal dialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff410058(v=office.14).aspx). Within the modal dialog, you can callback function that will get the parameters from the form page.
I would like to change the destination URL when clicking on a list item / item title so it will no send me to view the item but will send me to a different URL base on the item.
I am not looking to replace the Links list but to use the list title as URL query filter.
Thanks
You will need to do it using the custom Page / Customize the View Page in the SharePoint Designed. Please refer to this article on how you can achieve it using the SPGridView control
I'm not totally clear on what you'd like to do (maybe screenshot mock ups would help?), but here's some general advice.
If you want to change the behaviour of a control then investigate the properties of the control as kusek has suggested. If the properties don't do what you need then try overriding the control to change what is rendered.
If the above doesn't work out or you want to change how these links render no matter where they appear on the page, then you need to look at a page-level solution. The most common are jQuery that can dynamically replace the URLs with JavaScript, or an HTTP module which is much more low level and will actually alter the HTML rendered to the page.
Hope this helps.
