Well after many hours of working on building a shopping cart app… I stumbled onto something that I never knew. I hope this helps someone else as well.
I like keeping my Notes forms and Web Forms seperate. The draw back is that you have to jump through hoops to Edit a document by key with the web form if the document was created using the notes form name.
I spent hours trying to find the cleanest way to get my document on the web into edit mode using the correct web form.
Anyway I learned that if you hide your notes form from the web. Then add the notes form name as an alias to the the web form name… BAMM! The browser will edit your document using the desired form. Yes there are URL commands that allow you to use a formname. But if you ever tried to get the job done using the
/view/keyvalue?EditDocument you will know what mess you can get into.
Maybe this was already common knowledge. But if not enjoy. You can have 2 views with the same name. But you can’t have 2 forms with the same name. Unless the duplicate name is an alias.
