TabStrip extension

Vote:
 
Hi! I have build an usercontrol which is placed on the Edit-Panel. Currently this tab is displayed on every page. The tab should only be displayed when a special PageType Property is on that page. Just like the formdata tab only is shown on pages with a FormProperty. How do i achieve this? Best Regards, Christian Grønbæk Jørgensen, Denmark

Hi Christian! Just implement the ICustomPlugInLoader interface, and in the List() method you simply check the undrlying pagetype, and if its not yuore expected type, return an empty PlugInDescriptor array, otherwise return an array containging your plugin. Something like this: [ GuiPlugin(...)] public class MyEditPlugIn : UserControlBase, ICustomPlugInLoader { public PlugInDescriptor[] List ( ) { if ( !CurrentPage.PageTypeName == "MyPageType" ) return new PlugInDescriptor[0]; else return new PlugInDescriptor[1]{PlugInDescriptor.Load(typeof(MyEditPlugIn))}; } .. } Regards, Johan

This doesn't seem to work for me.. inside the List()-procedure CurrentPage and also this.Page is null so I can't check the type of it.. I guess the UserControl is not actually loaded by my template page (but instead by some logic which builds the edit panel) when I am in edit mode..? Or why doesn't it work..?

This should get you started.

public class TabRemover : PlugInAttribute
    {
        public static void Start()
        {
            EPiServer.UI.Edit.EditPanel.LoadedPage += EditLoaded;
        }

        public static void EditLoaded(EditPanel sender, LoadedPageEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Page.PageTypeName == "News Archive Page")
            {
                if (e.Page.Property["PageCategory"] != null)
                {
                    e.Page.Property["PageCategory"].DisplayEditUI = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }
