I’m working with the XML representation of views at the moment, and found a strange thing that has to be categorized as a bug. In my opinion at least.
Whenever I use ?ReadViewentries on a view, I get all documents and categories in the view. Which is what I expect.
However, if the View Property “Collapse all when database is first opened” is clicked, only the top categories are shown in the ?readviewentries. No documents.
As Ben said, it is not a Bug. That’s the way readViewEntries and other URL commands works.You can use the following URL command, in order to show the whole view:
view_name?readViewEntries&expandView
For more help, look at “URL commands for opening servers, databases, and views” on Designer Help Database.
