Learning XPages Part 22 : Creating The User Document
Tags : Lotus Domino XPages

So far our XPages Phonebook application is really starting to come together, we have designed out layout, shown you how to display information from a view in the Domino backend on the XPage using a repeat and also shown how to restrict the view to a single category. Over the next few parts we will explore the display of a notes document in the XPage and also explore a different way of linking one XPage to another without having to pass parameters on the URL like we did to link the sidebar to the single location XPage.
Lets start by creating a brand new XPage and Custom Control. Just like we did for the single location XPage and content_Location custom control we are going to do a little component reusing by copy/pasting some existing design documents and renaming them. Start off by copy/pasting the content_Location custom control and then use the F2 key to rename it to content_Person. Once it's renamed go into the source view and remove everything except the 'lotusContent' panel, I have added some additional place holder text so mine now looks like this :
Save and close it and then go to the XPages view in the design and copy/paste one of the existing XPages and press F2 to rename it to 'Person'. Now go into the source of the XPage and look for the 'lotusMain' DIV and change the reference to the existing custom control to your new custom control. Below I originally copied my 'Location' XPage and then changed the reference to the content_Location custom control.
If we save and close the 'Person' XPage at this stage and preview it you should now see the OneUI layout that we have created and the place holder text appearing in the main part of the page.
Now that we have our new XPage and custom control setup in the next part we'll associate it with a notes document
