More than 1 Dispform for List

Question

I have 2 groups of people which should have access to different versions of a DispForm of a List. For 1 of these groups all links should be disabled and they should see the content with another masterpage.

Can i create a second Dispform and link one group to this custom page? How to accomplish this with SharePoint Designer?

Or do i have to stick with 1 Dispform and have to switch the contents by getting the usergroup? How can i change the masterpage in this case?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can create as many DispForms as you'd like for a list. In SharePoint Designer, copy the existing Dispform and rename the copy. Hide the default form on the page by setting the IsVisible and IsIncluded flags to false. Then add in a Custom List Form web part. Customize as desired based on your requirements.

Then through navigational control and or audiencing, point the desired users to the appropriate forms. I do this all the time when I need to create User Views and Administrator Views for dashboards and such.

Answer 2

no more than one DispForm for a single list at one time. You can try to redirect user on a custom application page from a dispForm based on security group.

Answer 3

There is a feature called SPListDisplaySetting available on CodePlex. It allows you to show/hide display field in a specific form (new, edit or display) based in which group user belongs to, however this won't allow change the masterpage for list.
