Umbraco 4.5 Tree action open a document

Hi all,

For the first time I'm creating a custom action for a 4.5 tree and I want to do this in the prefered way. I need to open a page in the ContentFrame. Thought parent.UmbClientMgr.mainTree().changeContentFrameUrl might be usefull for this, but so far I get No errors and No page is loading. Below you find the source I wrote.

Does anybody knows what I'm doing wrong or does anybody knows where I can find some good info

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I think the javascript function is just: parent.UmbClientMgr.contentFrame('/johndoe.aspx');

FYI, I also found you can use the .NET wrapper of the API to do the same thing, which (might) be even more of a preferred way :)
```
get { return "function OpenDocType(){" + umbraco.BasePages.ClientTools.Scripts.ChangeContentFrameUrl("/janedoe.aspx") + "}"; }
```

HI Tom,

Massive thanks for your replies. I needed to post the NodeId also, so I went for a complete Javascript String instead of using the ClientTools. Got it working now using the following code:
```
  public string JsFunctionName
{
  
get
{
  return "OpenDocTypeHandler();";
}
}
  
public string JsSource
{
  
get
{
  return "function OpenDocTypeHandler(){UmbClientMgr.contentFrame('" + umbraco.IO.IOHelper.ResolveUrl(umbraco.IO.SystemDirectories.Umbraco) + "/handlers/OpenAssociatedDocType.ashx?nodeid='+UmbClientMgr.mainTree().getActionNode().nodeId)}";
}
}
 
```
Quick tip for anybody that wants to pass the Id of the menu node. You can retrieve this by UmbClientMgr.mainTree().getActionNode().nodeId

Thanks again,

Richard
