I thought I had but it may have been lost due to other issues with my rules. Thanks for the confirmation !

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

Thank you ! That worked brilliantly 🙂

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

Ah ha ! I just worked it out by adding a | 🙂

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

Yes. In my case I have set the linkToItem value on a field in order to use a field other than the title field as the link.

(ie. the fullname field in a contacts list instead of the lastname/title).

What I have discovered is that I needed to add the LinkTitleNoMenu field into each of my views in order for the moved link to include the contenttypeid= value.

In SharePoint Designer I then edited all of my views and added Explicit=”TRUE” as a field property for the LinkTitleNoMenu field in order to hide it.

I could not find any easier way to do this but hopefully this helps if anyone else finds themselves down the same rabbit hole 🙂

Apologies for the forum spam.

I think I have a lead on my issue. I have been moving the item link in a default sp2013 contact list from last name to ‘fullname’. I think if I do this and have a view that does not also include the lastname(with link to item) in it, then my link does not have the contenttype in the url.

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

This seems to be related to using tabs in the display form. I have just made a basic tab and left it to show all fields.

This particular list is a sp2013 contacts list with some extra columns , event handlers etc. So content types are active.

Does the following indicate DFFS is having trouble determining the content type ?

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContext.GetContentTypeThroughQueryString(String strIdx) +384

If I select the item and use the ribbon to edit it works.
If I select the item and use the ribbon to view and then use either the ribbon or the DFFS button to edit it works.

If I click to view the item and then try to use either the ribbon or DFFS button to edit it fails with that error.

This is the address bar when turning off modal forms and clicking the edit button on a dffs display form.

This is the link to the display form (I am using modal forms).

Here is the url of the modal with the error –>

As best I can see by starting with a blank configuration, just adding a DFFS display form with a tab causes the error above. Removing the tab and all seems to be well.

Should display forms be able to use tabs ?

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

In case this helps someone else…

This is the styles I used to mostly line up two columns of side by side fields on a ‘new’ form. This is entered in the ‘misc’ section.

.sbs_FieldTable{
width:260px;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formlabel{
width:auto !important;
padding-left:20px;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formlabel h3.ms-standardheader nobr{
white-space:nowrap !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formbody{
width:100% !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable input{
width:100% !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable select{
width:100% !important;
}

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

Apologies. I had a typo on whitespace. Should have been white-space.

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

I think I have gotten closer :

.sbs_FieldTable{
width:300px;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formlabel{
width:auto !important;
padding-left:10px;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formlabel h3.ms-standardheader nobr{
whitespace:nowrap !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable td.ms-formbody{
width:100% !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable input{
width:100% !important;
}
.sbs_FieldTable select{
width:100% !important;
}

Except I am having trouble getting a nowrap working on the label as it seems to be overridden by a style coming from DFFS_FrontEnd.css.

Thank you for the help ! The .sbsFieldTable got me heading in the right direction.

[Benjamin Hawcroft]

Thanks Alexander ! I tried that but it does not seem to be getting the fields. I will play around some more but have also attached a screen shot of what I am seeing after applying that with 50px each on a new form.
