Page Parameters

Mode (mode=x)

A Page is normally called without specifying any mode. This is the normal method and all the normal information is returned.

If you are using the content for another purpose, maybe an AJAX call, you might want to change the mode.
In this case, the mode should be passed as a parameter in the URL such as mode=SIMP.

These are the valid page modes:-

  • not set - Normal Mode (0)

    Normal mode loads default Components

  • SIMP - Simple version (1)

    This will return the relevant simplified version of the page. It will include any Sub Templates required for the requested object, but exclude the Site and Main Template.
    All JavaScript and CSS will be provided in such a way that it can be included dynamically if it is not already included.
    This is usually used to make AJAX calls for page content.

  • DATA - Data version of page (2)

This will only return the data using the Sub Template specified with the subtemp= parameter. No JavaScript or CSS will be returned

  • XML - XML version of page (3)

Adds XML header and causes UDB lists to be returned in XML format. Needs the subtemp= parameter pointing to a template containing surrounding Tag information

  • EMAIL - Email version of page (4)

CSS inline, No JavaScript, Links with user ID. This will default to the Email Sub Template but one should be specified.

  • EDIT - Edit page (5)

Same as normal mode but loads Edit Components and template.

  • SIMP_EDIT (6)

Same as SIMP mode but loads Edit Components and template. Use this for embedding an edit form in a page with an AJAX call.

Sub Template (subtemp=x)

This specifies the ID of a particular Sub Template to use instead of the default.

Convert Page (CONVPAGE=x)

Return the page in one of the following formats.

  • CONVPAGE - XLSX, XLSXN, PDF,
  • XLSX - An Excel File (Works on the first table on the page)
  • XLSXN - An Excel File with no links (Works on the first table on the page)
  • XLSXF - The url to an Excel file of the page (Works on the first table on the page)
  • CSV - A CSV file (Works on the first table on the page)
