Example 7 - Adding an in-line, highly customized view

  • Article

To add an in-line, highly customized view for a list:

  1. Using Microsoft FrontPage, create a new page in a Web site based on SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft.

  2. In HTML View, add the following <META> tag in the document's HEAD section:

    <META Name="Microsoft SharePoint Content Type" Content="Dynamic">

  3. Within the document's BODY section, add the following CAML source:

    <ows:XML>
  <SetList>Announcements</SetList>
  <View>
    <ViewFields>
      <FieldRef Name="LinkTitle" Explicit="TRUE"/>
      <FieldRef Name="Expires"/>
      <FieldRef Name="Body"/>
    </ViewFields>
    <ViewBody>
      <HTML><![CDATA[<h1>]]></HTML>
      <Field Name="LinkTitle"/>
      <HTML><![CDATA[</h1><ol>]]></HTML>
      <Fields>
        <HTML><![CDATA[<li>]]></HTML>
        <Field/>
        <HTML><![CDATA[</li>]]></HTML>
      </Fields>
      <HTML><![CDATA[</ol><hr>]]></HTML>
    </ViewBody>
  </View>
</ows:XML>

  4. Save and view the page.

    As a result, a new view of the announcements list is created. The LinkTitle field is specially handled in that it is displayed via an <H1> tag. All the other view fields are handled as list items inside an ordered list. A horizontal rule separates one list record from the next.

Note   This example assumes that the built-in Announcements list has not been deleted.
