Page linking | Dynamic DCR loading

PayalGarg

Hi All,


I'm facing some issue in page linking.
In my first page, I've a component that displays a list of urls. Upon clicking these urls, I need to open another page that should load the DCR depending upon the url clicked. For example, if url says "David", then this url should take me to another page,that loads David's contact details, from a DCR called "David.xml".

Any help on this would be appreciated....


Thanks a lot

Very high level approach should be something like this:

1. Create a .page file -- i.e. contact-detail.page (for this example we'll use that).
2. On contact-detail.page, have a component which will extract query string parameter and grab the appropriate DCR. This component will probably require a Java External to retrieve the DCR based on the query string parameters.
3. On your first page (we'll call it "contact-listing.page"), when you create your URLs, it'll something like this: $PAGE_LINK[contact-detail]dcr=path/to/dcr.xml. You can also use IDs or other mechanism if you dont want to expose DCR Path.

I would also suggest that if you have not reviewed the SP dev guide then please do.

HTH!
