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.

Details using Automatic View-Switching
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.

View Configuration
This is how this view would be configured for this sample.
- Content/Item ContentType: Persons
- Content/Item Data:
- Ed (ID: 48843)
- 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/.*
