How to Publish a List View

 

To publish a list view, go to your Joomla admin Menus tab and select the menu section you want to display the form in.

Choose a Menu  

Click on the NEW icon to create a new menu item.

Create New Menu Item 

 

On the screen that appears, select xForms Display Records as the Menu Item Type.

Create Menu Item xForms 

You will then be prompted to choose one of two layouts: Details Layout or List Layout.

Choose Layout 

 

Details Layout

The Details Layout enables you to publish the details of a single form record. To do so, click on the Record Details link. In the Parameters (Basic) section on the right-hand side of the screen, select the View that you want to publish. (In our example, it is the "My First List" view.)

Record Details Menu Item 

Next, select the Record ID that you want to display. In the example above, we have chosen to display the details of Record ID 99. You can also specify whether the detail view should include a back button or not.

Now complete the Menu Item Details as usual, and then click on the SAVE icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to save your entry. You should now be able to access the record view on your menu.

 

List Layout

The List Layout view enables you to publish all of the records from a single form. To do so, click on the List View link. In the Parameters (Basic) section on the right-hand side of the screen, select the View that you want to publish. (In our example, it is the "My First List" view.)

Once you see the results on the page, you can go back and make changes to the layout, if necessary.
