When a document is opened from a view control

the document ID is added to the URL as a request parameter. If you have disabled that then it just opens the form with the default behavior of a new document

adding on to Paul's comment

What Paul said is right and the way to fix it is to get the url parameters yourself and use them in the documentid property of the data source to see the unid of the document to open. You can also set the mode to open in read or edit mode.

Code Example?

Does anyone have a code example, please? I am in a view control (within a panel) with a column in which the data source has a link. When I click on the link I need to bring up the document in edit mode. I understand I need to get the URL, but don't have an inkling on how to get the URL for that particular document. It's obviously not "selected documents", since the linked document is just coincidentally in that view. So where do you get the URL so you can bring the doc up?

Many thanks!

Beau

Just use the var variable

In your view data source you define var, which is a variable that points to each view entry (line). Use that to get the document UNID and build your url to either supply your own url paramter (http://myserver/mydb/myxpage.xsp?openxpage&mydoc=(docid). Then in your universal id of the document XPage get the mydoc url parameter.
