Next and previous item by ID

[Zaruba.Ivan]

Hello Alexander,
is it possible to add buttons for next and previous items from the list? Could be sorted by ID. I would like it for dispform and editform.

Thank You
Ivan

Hi,
This code will work if you don’t have any holes in your number series (no deleted list items). Add this to a HTML section in DFFS:

<input type="button" onclick="traverseListElements(false)" value="Previous item" /><input type="button" onclick="traverseListElements(true)" value="Next item" />

And put this in the Custom JS:

function traverseListElements(up){
    var id = Number(GetUrlKeyValue("ID")), url;
    if(up){
        url = location.pathname+"?ID="+(id+1);
    }else{
        url= location.pathname+"?ID="+(id-1);      
    }
    if(GetUrlKeyValue("IsDlg") === "1"){
       url += "&IsDlg=1";
    }
    location.href = url;
}

Hi Alexander,

excellent work, that’s what I (and users of course) dreamed about.

Thank you!

Hate to resurrect an old thread but it is applicable to my request.

Can this same logic be applied to a specific view rather than by ID?

[Alexander Bautz]

Not sure what you mean by view – are you in a form enhanced with DFFS, or in a list view?

Display form enhanced by DFFS that is being accessed from a specific list view. This view only display list items based on specific column data.

Remedial Example: Status field with Open, Pending, Completed

Display form is opened from a list view of items where Status = Open

Next / Previous button will navigate through those items *only* rather than by ID increment.

Sorry for the late reply. You can do it like this:

var arrOfIDsInView = [];
var res = spjs.utility.queryItems({ "listName": _spPageContextInfo.pageListId, "viewName": "{8E016900-8594-45D0-8837-4AFD952C3375}", "viewFields": ["ID"] });
jQuery.each(res.items, function (i, item) {
    arrOfIDsInView.push(item.ID);
});

function traverseListElements(up) {
    var id = GetUrlKeyValue("ID"), newId, url;
    if (up) {
        newId = arrOfIDsInView[jQuery.inArray(id, arrOfIDsInView) + 1];
    } else {
        newId = arrOfIDsInView[jQuery.inArray(id, arrOfIDsInView) - 1];
    }
    if(newId !== undefined){
        url = location.pathname + "?ID=" + newId;
        if (GetUrlKeyValue("IsDlg") === "1") {
            url += "&IsDlg=1";
        }
        location.href = url;
    }else{
        alert("No item found");
    }
}

You must replace “{8E016900-8594-45D0-8837-4AFD952C3375}” with the view GUID of your list view. To find it, you can bring up the dev console (hit F12) when you look at the list view, and then type in this:

ctx.view

Hi,
I have a lot of document libraries, and I need to traverse documents and edit custom fields in EditForms. Can I get GUID of the current list view as variable?

var res = spjs.utility.queryItems({ "listName": _spPageContextInfo.pageListId, "viewName": "{8E016900-8594-45D0-8837-4AFD952C3375}", "viewFields": ["ID"] });

Thank You.

Yes, use ctx.view like this:

var res = spjs.utility.queryItems({ "listName": _spPageContextInfo.pageListId, "viewName": ctx.view, "viewFields": ["ID"] });
