Thanks, that worked great :)

Another quick question - how can I stop the openModalWinodw() from going to the EditMember.aspx page hwne it has finished with the "Create" page?

I can create a new member group, using the dialog which is now called via my code. However, open creating a new member group, the site tries to redirect to EditMemberGroup.aspx, but I don't want it to do that. Can I override this behaviour?

I belive you would have to create your own page (ie. CustomCreateMember.aspx) that does the member creation (via the API's). then use the same javascript to load the new page:

UmbClientMgr.openModalWindow('/umbraco/CustomCreateMember.aspx&rnd='+Umbraco.Utils.generateRandom(),UmbClientMgr.uiKeys()['actions_create'],true,480,380);

I would also take a look at the /umbraco/create.aspx page and be sure to use the same Masterpage

Turns out I've just found a solution.

I have coped the "MemberGroupTasks" class from the Umbraco source and compiled a new version of it in my own code (i.e. the ReturnUrl property of this class now points to wherever I want it to go). To use this new version of MemberGroupTasks, I edit the ui.xml file and set thigns like:

<create assembly="MyAssemblyName" type="Tasks.MemberGroupTasks" />

So when I now create a new memebr group, my code is executed and not Umbraco's MemberGroupTasks.

Thanks for the response though, much appreciated :)

Right, one final (I hope) question:

There is still a "Create" option being displayed when I right-click on the "Member Group" content node item in the tree. How can I remove this "Create" item from the menu?

I did try removing the entire ui.xml config for this:

<nodeType alias="initmemberGroup">

    <header>membergroup</header>

    <usercontrol>/create/simple.ascx</usercontrol>

    <tasks>

      <create assembly="Pathfinder.Web.BusinessLogic" type="Tasks.MemberGroupTasks" />

    </tasks>

  </nodeType>

but the "Create" menu item still appears. Can you suggest how I can remove this please?

You should be able to "hook" into the AfterNodeRender event of the BaseTree for the member section and remove the create option.

see example 3:

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/using-applicationbase-to-register-events/event-examples

something like this:

node.Menu.Remove(umbraco.BusinessLogic.Actions.ActionNew.Instance)

Cheers for your help, much appreciated.

I will have a crack at this tomorrow, using your suggested ideas with the hooking of events.
