Custom View of a Discussion List |
|
|
Greetings!
I'd like to create a custom view of a discussion list that would
resemble a two-zone web part page. The left hand side would be a column
of subjects, while the rest of the page would show all of the posts for
any subject that was clicked on in the left hand side.
There needs to be a link at the top of the left hand side to create a
new discussion subject and there needs to be a link in the right hand
side to reply to the thread of discussion shown there.
I've gotten pretty close using a data view web part on the left hand
side connected to another view on the right, though I can't narrow it
down to just one line per subject - if there are three posts in reply
to one thread of discussion, I get the same subject line repeated three
times on the left. And I can't figure out how to get the "new subject"
and "reply" links set right.
This page should also be the default view, so whenever the user creates
a new subject or replies to an existing one, he's returned to this
page.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried the SDK, but I'm
having problems digesting it. I'm not sure what I'm looking for there.
I looked up Custom Views, but I ended up in a section about Boxed
versus Newspaper, which doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure if I need to
make a custom front end to a discussion list (or how) or if I need to
write my own web part from scratch.
Any help/links/idea appreciated.
Thanks! |
