Hi,
     I need to extend the datalist page to be able to navigate differents views of one datalist.
     I want to display 6 views of the datalist, where they offer different arrange of properties and controls, maybe a different datatable component…
     2 views are editable where the other 4 are view only….
     I've been told that in order to do that I should declare differents form id in the forms config, so this is what I did:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="model-type" condition="pmtdl:WorkplanItem">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="pmtdl:OrderID" />
               <show id="pmtdl:TaskType" />
               <show id="pmtdl:Name" />
               <show id="pmtdl:Description" />
               <show id="pmtdl:Teamwork" />
               <show id="pmtdl:Importance" />
               <show id="pmtdl:BaselineStartDate" />
               <show id="pmtdl:BaselineDueDate" />
               <show id="pmtdl:BaselineDuration" />
               <show id="pmtdl:Assignee" />

After doing that, someone told me that Share always call the default form, and I should modify the form url to call each form id…
Have anyone tried to do this, where should I modify in order to display in the datatable the differents views?
I am thinking to copy the datalist page and customized,  define a region with a list of the views, or a combo box, that when selected one the datatable should render the view with the correspondent id…

If anyone could help me or guide me a little bit I will appreciate it a lot
cheers

I'm doing this via an AJAX request for the form. It sounds like you may need to do something similar from your datalist view.

As background, I updated my share-config-custom.xml in the same manner you did, by adding a new <form> element with an id attribute of "test-template-id". Then, I created a custom field control by copying the "/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/association.ftl" Freemarker template for an association field and updated it to add a "Create" button that will request the create form for the associated object to display on the page. I would like to be able to select from a variety of form configs based on the formId parameter. To do this, I pass in an ID to tell it what type of creation form to display for the associated object:

Alfresco.util.Ajax.request({
   url: Alfresco.constants.URL_SERVICECONTEXT + "components/form",
   dataObj: {
      itemKind: "type",
      itemId: "${field.endpointType}",
      formId: ${templateId}, // This is populated from a user-selected field on the form
      mode: "create",
      submitType: "json",
      showCaption: "false",
      editInline: "true",
      destination: "${form.destination?html}",
      mimeType: "text/plain",
      htmlid: "${fieldHtmlId}"
   },
   method: "GET",
   successCallback: {
      fn: function() { 
         // Display returned form
      },
       scope: this
   },
   failureCallback: { … }
};
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This call will format the GET request with the "formId" parameter:

http://localhost:8081/share/service/components/form?itemKind=type&itemId=p%3Asco&formId=test-template-id&mode=create&submitType=json&showCaption=false&editInline=true&destination=workspace%3A%2F%2FSpacesStore%2Fe66c4f40-8efa-4851-9c21-feefa6f162f0&mimeType=text%2Fplain&htmlid=template_x002e_create-content_x002e_create-content_assoc_p_loSCO
‍‍‍

I'm on Alfresco Enterprise 3.4.6 (I don't think the formId parameter was being picked up for earlier versions of Alfresco - https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-4951)
