List Details using Automatic View-Switching and Query

The previous examples showed you how to do auto-switch views. This example makes the code even easier, by telling the details-view to pick up the details-item from a query. You can see the query and how it's configured to the right.

You now see the details page. The code is even shorter, because it is using a query, which already does the look-for-id. The image to the right shows where this configuration is applied to the view.

<ul>
  @foreach (var person in AsList(App.Data["Persons"])) {
    <li>
      <a href='@Link.To(parameters: CmsContext.Page.Parameters.Set("id", person.EntityId))'>
        @person.FirstName @person.LastName

<a href='@Link.To(parameters: CmsContext.Page.Parameters.Remove("Id"))'>back to list</a>

View Configuration

This is how this view would be configured for this sample.

  • Content/Item ContentType: Persons
  • Content/Item Data:
    1. George (ID: 48838)
  • Query: Data-ViewSwitch-Query-Details
Details for Query: Data-ViewSwitch-Query-Details

This query gets a single person for the view which shows the details. It will look for the person matching the ID in the url.

View-Switching based on URL Parameters

This requires the view configuration to be set to activate the details view if id is specified in the url, using id/.*
