When a form is saved via a button, I want to also create a new document using the form "MSG", which has fields for message title, body and recipient. At first I thought it might be possible using only a JS library, but now I am unsure. What about opening an unrendered XPage which is bound to that document's form, and inheriting the values into it?
I hope I understand your question right: try inserting code like this in XPage's datasource (e.g. document1) postSave event:
var doc:NotesDocument=database.createDocument();
doc.replaceItemValue("Form","msg");
doc.replaceItemValue("title",document1.getItemValueString("title"));
...
doc.save(true);

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 am trying to keep image in configuration document, in order to change the image dynamically i am not able to do like that.or Is there any other way to keep images in forms or pages without entering into code everytime?
If I understand correctly, you want to dynamically change/replace the Image in the form/Page design element without using the notes designer.
In Notes, all Design elements are treated as a document and each design element have a unique UNID. The "$Body" field stores the content of the form or page
You could do this by taking the UNID of the page or form and use db.GetDocumentByUNID() method to get handle to the Page or Form design element. Then modify the content of "$Body" field in lotus script to update image or any other data (table/text) in the Form/page. The changes will reflect in the Form/Page.
The UNID of the Page/form can be found in notes designer.
Let me know if this helps.
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:.
Background: One xpage bound to document1. On this xpages is a tabbed table contain several tabs. Each tab contains an panel bound to other data sources incl document2. Document2 is created and made a child of document1. In each panel is a table to allow the user to create the new document, as well as two view controls. Everything works beautifully...until...
Problem: I was asked to add a way to upload an attachment to the child document. I first created an rich text field on the bound document called "ScannedInvoice". I then create a File Upload Control from the core controls and bound it to document2/ScannedInvoice. By rule, I only want a single attachment, otherwise I would consider the openNTF upload control.
I cannot figure out why nothing appears on the back end when I upload a file and create a new document. Everything else works, but there is no attachment in the ScannedInvoice field and also no $FILE fields attached to the document either.
Thanks in advance for any tips. I have searched quite a bit and have not found any answers. - Steve
<xp:fileUpload id="fileUpload1"
value="#{document2.ScannedInvoice}" useUploadname="false"
style="font-size:8pt" filename="scannedinvoice.jpg"
mimetype="image/jpeg">
</xp:fileUpload>
Note: The field ScannedInvoice on the Invoice form is rich text.
Code to save button: document2.save()
Document2 has scope=request and ignoreRequestParam=true. Both of these have to be set like this in order to work. parentID=# document1.getNoteID()
a file upload needs a full refresh of the page to be able to upload the file. Make sure that you are doing that.
======================================
Update Domino 9.0.1 supports partial refresh uploads
I have 2 xpages that interact together. The first acts as a homepage and allows the user to create a new document and fill out some basic header information. The button to create the new document, sets a sessionScope var with the NoteID. It then saves document1 and opens the same document using another xpage.
The second xpages is bound to document1, and uses the sessionScope to edit the document. This xpages contains and editPanel bound to document2. I want to create a child document to document2. This works but what happens is document1 is also saved as conflict. It is also saved as a second main document.
I DO NOT want to save document1 at all, but can't seem to prevent it. The button that creates document2 uses the simple action save document, and specfies document2.
HELP, I have tried everything, and have been stuck on this for 2 days.
Thanks!

To bind to multiple datasources, on your XPage, under Properties expand Data and set "Ignore Request Params" to TRUE
If you change the type of your buttons, to a simple button instead of a submit button, and handle the doc.save() yourself should solve your problem.
The Save Document simple action accepts the name of the data source to save as a String argument. If supplied, it will only save that specific data source.
