Customize DataFormWebPart Question

Question

Hello,

On a DispForm.aspx form I replaced the default ListFormWebPart with a DataFormWebPart using SharePoint Designer 2010. The ListFormWebPart  has an Attachments column that displays all of the attachments (with links) in this particular folder.  My question is – how do I copy that functionality  into my DataFormWebPart? What control would I use?  When I choose the Attachments column using “Add/Remove Columns” in the ribbon – it gives me a boolean field…

Answer 1

Alternatively if I could hide the Close button on the ListFormWebPart that would work just fine but I cannot find any settings that will hide the button...

Hi

Create a new DispFOrm.aspx ( forom SHP Designer , connect to your site, ope the list, goto right side and there you will see all forms associated to the list. CLick on button " Add" ) for your list, make it as default

Open that new form, and there you will can customize it

Instead the regular code to display the list field:
<xsl:value-of select=”@Attachments”/>
Use this code:
 

<xsl:element name="SharePoint:AttachmentsField">
    <xsl:attribute name="runat">server</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="FieldName">Attachments</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="Visible">true</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="ControlMode">Display</xsl:attribute>

    <xsl:attribute name="ItemId">
        <xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:element>
