I'm customizing the DisplayForm of a list, and I want put a button on footer to EditForm, but in the ctx has no edit form url and no CurrentItem.ID.

How can I do this?

    ID can be retrieved from the Query String in URL

Getting from ctx

var itemId = ctx.FormContext.itemAttributes.Id;

I have executed above code under OnPreRender & OnPostRender both. So you can use it where you need it.

I think it is easier to get from Query String rather than from ctx.FormContext.

As per Asad's comment, Getting from Query String

var itemId = GetUrlKeyValue('ID');

Have a look on this answer by Danny Engelman to read more about Query String.

  • Which one you have used? query string or ctx.FormContext.itemAttributes.Id? Nov 24, 2015 at 13:24
  • For now query string. But is good to know about FormContext.itemAttributes. :D

  • use console.dir(ctx) in OnPreRender and see what's in it. I just find it (ctx.FormContext.itemAttributes.Id) this way Nov 24, 2015 at 13:28
  • Author is in ctx.ListData.Items[0].Author. Nov 24, 2015 at 13:31
