    Dashboard tab buttons

    Hello,

    I'm creating a dashboard and above the dashboad there is always a tab. I'd like to add a save button to that tab. Does anyone have an example? Thanks.

    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,

    This code is based on the Custom Section Video on Umbraco TV:

            protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
            {
                base.OnInit(e);

                ImageButton save = Panel1.Menu.NewImageButton();
                save.ImageUrl = umbraco.GlobalSettings.Path + "/images/editor/save.gif";
                save.AlternateText = "Save";
                save.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(save_Click);
            }

    Hope it helps

    Jeroen,

    Firstly, use a page event to tap into the Load event of umbracoPage object.

    umbracoPage.Load += UmbracoPageOnLoad;

    Also check what page it actually is, as this event is firing for editContent/editMedia/dashboard.axps.

    var page = (umbracoPage)sender;
    var path = page.Page.Request.Path.ToLowerInvariant();
    if (!path.Contains("dashboard.aspx"))
    {
     return;
    }

     And then some code to add a button to the menu bar of a specific tab page. Parameter passed in is the page object from above code snippet

     private static void AddDashboardMenuItems(Control control)
            {
                var contentPlaceHolder = (ContentPlaceHolder)control.FindControl("body");
                var tabView = FindControlRecursive(contentPlaceHolder, "dashboardTabs");
         
          if (tabView == null)
                {
                    return;
                }

            var tabPages = tabView.GetPanels().Cast();

          if (!tabPages.Any())
                {
                    return;
                }

            var mediaTabPage = tabPages.Last();
           var uploadImageButton = mediaTabPage.Menu.NewIcon(0);
         uploadImageButton.ID = string.Format("{0}_uploadImage", mediaTabPage.ID);
         uploadImageButton.ImageURL = SystemDirectories.Umbraco + "/images/editor/upload.png";
         uploadImageButton.OnClickCommand = "javascript:UmbClientMgr.openModalWindow('Dialogs/Dialog.aspx?nodeId=x', 'title', true, 600, 300, 0, 0, '', '');";
             uploadImageButton.AltText = "Alt";
            }

     Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Thanks Matthew I've done that before, but this isn't a custom section. It a dashboard and I don't know how to get the webcontrol which I need to add the button.

    Must say that I'm only having 2 dashboard controls and the second one is the one I had to add the button to... therefore the hardcoded

    var mediaTabPage = tabPages.Last();

    Thanks for the code Dirk. This is how I solved it:

    public partial class CreateNews : UserControl
{
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnInit(e);

        var tabView = Page.FindControlRecursive<TabView>("dashboardTabs");
        TabPage tabPage = (TabPage)tabView.GetPanels()[0];

        ImageButton saveButton = tabPage.Menu.NewImageButton();
        saveButton.ID = "ImgBtnSaveNews";
        saveButton.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(SaveButton_Click);
        saveButton.AlternateText = "Save";
        saveButton.ImageUrl = GlobalSettings.Path + "/images/editor/save.gif";
    }

    protected void SaveButton_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        //Todo save data.

        //Show the bubble that the data has been saved.
        BasePage.Current.ClientTools.ShowSpeechBubble(BasePage.speechBubbleIcon.save, "Saved", "The data has been saved succesfully");
    }
}

    In this example I use my own version of FindControlRecursive which I already had :-). There is only one dashboard control so I need to fetch the first TabPage. I added this code inside the Dashboard usercontrol.
