Add Web Parts to DispForm, EditForm or NewForm.aspx
Posted
09Dec08 by Erwin in Setup
One of the users of our SharePoint project asked if it was possible to show an “Item List” on the “View Item” page.
My first reaction was: “Of course it is, add a Web Part displaying the “Item List” to the page and we’re done”.
But when I browsed to the “View Item” page and clicked the “Site Actions” I noticed that there wasn’t an “Edit Page” option available. Strange, but after some -Googling- I found the following sollution:
- Open IExplorer and navigate to your “View Item” page (DispForm.aspx)
- Replace everything in the URL after “?ID=#“ with “&PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2″ (without the quotes of course) and press <Enter>
After adding a Web Part to the page and saving it, the “Edit Page” option will be available the next time you click “Site Actions” on that Page.

[...] Eric Bastiaensen thought that maybe I found this information from his blog entry Add Web Parts to DispForm, EditForm or NewForm.aspx. I think it is possible, so credits go to Eric.

I noticed that any web parts added don’t allow connections between them

Has anyone else found that dropping a web part on the Edit form causes it to break?
I wanted to add some show/hide script as I do on the New form, but the Edit form gets a really funky format and does a lot of complaining about navigating away from the page and in the end will not save any changes. Total meltdown.
Our environment is kind of ‘special’ so I’m curious to know whether this behavior occurs for anyone else.

I wanted to do the same, and I notice that too …
I succesfully added my script to the Edit form (fighting with messages as : “the content has changed …”). But then, when I edit an element, the page is in shared mode and I can’t save it.
Has anybody got an idea of what is happening?
By the way for the New form that’s a good trick!! Thanks!
