MOSS 2007 pages and Query String Parameters


Most of the time it might require for us to edit the SharePoint pages using browser.
Incase if the pages is created using a specific layout or other ways we can use "Edit Page" option from "Site Action" menu.
But what if we need to edit application pages like DispForm.aspx, AllItems.aspx...etc. Can you use "Edit Page" option from "Site Action" Menu the answer is unfortunately no :(.
Then how to edit the page...


Dont worry there are always ways to acheive the solution for problems,


use Query string variable to solve the problem:


append the page with the query string parameters
http://...../dispForm.aspx?ToolPaneView=2&PageView=Shared


below are some of the other options

Mode=View/Edit (View or Edit)

DisplayMode=Design

ControlMode=Edit

ToopPaneView=1/2/3 (1 or 2 or 3)

PageView=Shared/Personal (Shared or Personal)

and many more....
try using permutations and combinations of these you will see the magic...
