I have a view that has XPage Associated with document form set.
The form property has the xpage associated with the document.
If I click on the link in the view the proper correct xpage is displayed as expected.
But if I close the browser, and paste the URL to the document into the browser, I get the error, Unable to get document page name for (and the unid). As long as I remain logged in the url will work without error or if I set anonymous to Reader the url will continue to work. But if I close the browser where I would be prompted to login then I get the error but I get the error before being prompted to log in.
The url for assocated forms looks a little different than when the view is used to display the xpage.
myserver/mydb.nsf/$$OpenDominoDocument.xsp?documentId=12B571F2B03E3764852573690041E273&action=openDocument
The view has various types of forms so I need to associate the form with the xpage or I suppose I can compute the xpage for the form. But any idea what would be causing this issue?
If you are opening a document from a view, the associated form could be overriden by a form formula of the view. When opening the document directly with $$OpenDominoDocument.xsp the original form stored in the document is used instead.
The form can be associated with a XPage in different ways:
For XPiNC there is a field $XPagesAltClient in the form
For web access there is a field $XPagesAlt in the form
There is a entry in the xsp.properties file.
For example this entry...
xsp.domino.form.xpage.foo=bar
...will open a document with the value foo in the Form field with the XPage bar.xsp.
Hope this helps

Ok, this is weird. I created an xpage input form. After the form is filled out, a document is created. I then create an email to notify people that the document has been created. I drop a doclink to the newly created document in the body of the email. During testing, I noticed that when I click the link in the email, the wrong Notes Form is opened. Instead of the 'TrainingRequest' form displaying the fields, the form 'Feedback' opens up instead. Here's what I checked:
- On the xpage data section, the 'form' is set to 'TrainingRequest'.
- When I open the document via the doc link, the field 'form' has the value 'TrainingRequest', which is correct. Yet it's displaying the 'Feedback' form.
- When I check the other field properties of the document, all the correct fields from the 'TrainingRequest' form are there and populated correctly.
- When I open the document via the view, the correct Notes form 'TrainingRequest' opens.
- There is no default form in the database design.
Has anyone seen this before?
thanks

Doc links are always created using the default view of your application. If there is a form formula in this view then this overrides the form in the document. Remove the form formula of the default view and it works.
I almost NEVER use form formulas in my application because of the side effects.
Source code would be useful. But initial best guess based on what you're saying is you have two datasources on the XPage, neither have ignoreRequestParams set, so you're editing the same document with both data sources. ignoreRequestParams missing will ignore any properties you define.
I have an XPage that displays fields in a document. I also have the ability to pop out a new window that displays those same fields. I'm implementing a document locking scheme so that the two instances can't cause conflicts (and this is how I'm testing it).
A problem I've run into is that when the user edits the document in the pop out and saves it, a partial refresh of the panel containing those same fields in the original page doesn't show the updated data.
The save in the pop out was successful, and I can see in the Notes client that the document does indeed have the new value, but the original page simply won't show the new value. A complete page refresh using the reload button in the browser works, but I'd like to trigger this programmatically and as quickly as possible, hence the partial refresh.
Does anyone know what is going wrong? Is the NotesXspDocument in the original page getting out of sync with the backend document? I read about document1.getDocument(true), but that doesn't seem to do anything.
(As usual, I can't supply source code unfortunately....)
Once the NotesXspDocument is loaded with the XPage, a partial refresh does not update the xspDoc from the back-end DB, but from the in-memory DataSource.
You will need to refresh the XPage:
Reload the url from browser or in ssjs with a context.reloadPage()
I have a Form called 'Contact Level\Customer Contact | Customer Contact', which is a response document, and in the properties I have associated the customerContact XPage to the form. In all view panel controls I have use the 'XPage associated with the document's form' property.
On server A the XPage is opened correctly using the $$OpenDominoDocument.xsp method from any view control.
On server B, which has a replica of the server A database, the XPage does not open from any of the views using the $$OpenDocumentDocument.xsp method. The error I see on the server log is 'HTTP Web Server: Item Not Found Exception [db.nsf/$$OpenDominoDocument.xsp?documentId=......&action=openDocument]'.
I have removed sections of code from the XPage to track down whereabouts the error is happening and it was the domino document settings that cause the problem.
I have checked the form properties and they are correct.
If I change the $$OpenDominoDocument.xsp section of the URL to customerContact.xsp then the document opens without error.
If I change the view panel property to explicitly open the customerContact XPage then again the document opens without error.
I have tried changing the form and XPage so it opens the 'contact' XPage instead (an almost identical non-response version of the same form) and the XPage still errored.
I tried saving a document in client but the XPage still errored.
I changed the form name to include a new alias of CustomerContact and modified a document to use the new form name, and this document opened without error. That made me wonder if the space in the Customer Contact name was causing the error, but there are many forms / XPages on the database in question, some others with spaces in there alias, and this is the only form that errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there another Form or Subform that has the same name or has "Customer Contact" as an alias? I have a feeling I read a blog some time ago that mentioned $$OpenDocument picking up a subform instead of a form, but I'm not 100% sure, so that may be wrong. If it's working on a newer server, that issue may have been fixed.
I am building a mobile app for iPhone using the mobile controls in the XPages Extension Library.
The first page displays a list of categories (happens to be a list of user names). When a category is selected the second page is displayed listing all documents belonging to the selected user.
The URL to open the second page includes a parameter with the user's name. The second page has a page heading control and on the "label" property I have added the following code:-
if (param.get("User") != null) {
sessionScope.put("UserName", param.get("User"));
}
return sessionScope.UserName;
I'm doing this so that I have access to the user name on subsequent pages, e.g. the third page is displayed when the user opens a document from the list on the second page.
When I test this in Chrome everything is fine. When I test in Safari I can see that the sessionScope variable is set when the second page is opened. However, when I select a document and the third page is opened the sessionScope variable is disappearing. I can't see any code that would explain this and when tested in Chrome the sessionScope variable is still there on page 3. Unsurprisingly I get the same issue when I test on an iPhone.
The problem this gives me is that, when navigating back from a document (p.3) to the list of documents for the selected user (p.2) I don't know which user was selected originally.
Anyone seen this before or have any explanation as to what might be going on?
Thanks for any suggestions.
you might want to refrain from the parameter approach unless you are sanetizing your input first, so instead of the URL write the userName directly into the scope - or even easier - bind the first field with the categories to the sessionScope. Did u try to modify your code to use a different variable name?
I have two web parts in my sharepoint aspx web page. One is Content editor web part and the other is data form web part.
In data form web part, I have a data view and I need to pass a parameter "id" to this dataview which will show the project details in the data view. I tried to use a value from a control as a parameter and never had a success. I did googled a lot last few days and haven't found any solution. It would be great, if someone show me a way to use the text from a control (may be a text box or select control). if someone have a working sample, please share. Alternatively I have used a query string as a parameter (eventhough I prefer to use text from a control). We need to pass a query string called id. For example, I am navigating to http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=7. This will show the project details of project id 7 in data form web part. this works fine.
I need to provide an option to user to enter the project id instead of modifying the query string in url. To achieve that I used content editor web part and I have a text box text1 and a submit button (html controls). The user will enter project id in the text box provided and will click the submit button to view the project details in dataview. The submit button javascript code has the following code:
url = 'http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=7';
alert (url); //alerts as http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=7
window.location = url;
For testing purpose, I just hardcoded the url. However, clicking the submit button is not redirecting to http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=7 or something happens during redirect. The page just reloads once. i.e., if I am in http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=12 and clicking the submit button reloads the page http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=12 instead of navigating to http://localhost/pages/1.aspx?id=7.
Without data form web part, the redirect works fine. Kindly help.
Thank you
