I have got ublogsy along with umbraco configured for a news websites. I have customized quite a bit. Editors publish content on it daily and most of the times also schedule to publish for few days later. However we dont ahve any way to remember who set which article to be published later other than manually recording it.
So I am thinking of making a page or tab to an existing page inside umbraco backend (not frontend on the website!) that would basically list all the documents that have not been published but have a 'publish at' date set. I can so easily do this if I wanted to using frontend stuff but not sure what I should do for backend. Is my option a data editor control and then using that custom data type?
you could do this quite easily if you added a tab to the dashboards. (look in config/dashboards.config for info.)
These files are just standard ascx pages, so you could build a basic page that enumerated the publish dates and lists them out. the ediors would then just have a list of pages from a tab on the root of your content section.
you can use the edit link "/umbraco/actions/editContent.aspx?id={pageid}" to give editors a quick link back to the node.
hey Kevin, that solves my problem pretty much. Thank you very much!
I am writing the code for it now. However there is something strange that I noticed that inside Umbraco.Web.UI project all the dashboard built in user controls like latestEdits.ascx etc they have a codebehind syntax but I cant seem to find the codebehind file anywhere in the solution. Is it added as a library?
i think the core - the code behind is in one of hte dlls, you can either produce a code behind user control and put your dll in the bin folder - (or you might be able to put the code file in app_code) - or you can do it inline. it should work
What are the possible options?

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks mate! I will go down the app_code route and if that doesnt work then dll. Inline coding is not exactly my strength :)
is working on a reply...
