• data view empty

    By Uwe E. Jandt 1 decade ago

    Hi experts,



    I am still quite new ("fighting" since a few weeks with xpages ;-) ) - and I'm not sure if this forum is the right place to ask questions:



    I just want to implement a data view (xe:dataView) on my page, dragged it on the page, define a source DB and view - but only get an empty page.

    A dynamic view with exactly the same settings shows the (notes) view.



    Must be a rookie mistake - but I do not see it.



    Thanks for any help in advance - or if this is the wrong place to post this: thanks for showing me the right one :-)

    • Did you pull out the data?

      By Simon McLoughlin 1 decade ago

      The dataview allows you to display contents of a view but you have to specify what it is you want to see. For example you create the dataview, add a datasource and then add what columsn you want to see. Like this:

       

       

      <xe:dataView id="dataView1" var="viewEntry"

binding="#{viewStateBean.dataIterator}" collapsibleRows="true"

collapsibleDetail="true" openDocAsReadonly="true"

columnTitles="true" rows="10" pageName="document">

 

<xe:this.data>

<xp:dominoView var="dominoView"

viewName="xpByMostrecent" dataCache="full" >

</xp:dominoView>

</xe:this.data>

 

<xe:this.categoryColumn>

<xe:viewCategoryColumn columnName="Date" columnTitle="Date">

</xe:viewCategoryColumn>

</xe:this.categoryColumn>

 

<xe:this.summaryColumn>

<xe:viewSummaryColumn columnName="Topic" columnTitle="Topic">

</xe:viewSummaryColumn>

</xe:this.summaryColumn>

       

      you should take a look at the demo app or the updated templates that come with the ExtLib to see these controls in action

      • thx :-)

        Thank you, Simon,

        I thought that it does it similarly to the dynamic view control.

        Was too fast … now i am working through the example…. with some success ;-)



        BTW: viewEntry["Abstract"] is a fixed expression, to show (which) abstract of a document?

        • viewEntry["Abstract"]

          By Fero Kossuth 1 decade ago

          This fetches property "Abstract" from object (map) viewEntry. Abstract may be column programatic name or title.

I used the define the view source,COLUMN TITLE, SUMMARY COLUMN, EXTRACOLUMNS setting fine. but with details not working.

        Appreciate any help.Thank you in advance.

        • Have you looked at the demo DB?

          By Philippe Riand 1 decade ago

          If so, and it is still failing, please attach your DB to this thread with the steps to reproduce.
