    Creating a custom context menu item in Umbraco 6

    I'm trying to find out how to create a context menu item for the content tree in Umbraco 6.

    I want to be able to right click a node of a particular type and present the option of automatically creating some child nodes.

    I've seen it talked about for most Umbraco versions other than 6.

    Can someone point me in the right direction of an example?
    Perhaps there's a project somewhere with has the source available?

    Failing that there's this article relating to v5, would it the same?

    Regards,

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    I am not a .NET developer, but maybe this documentation can help you to build a custom context menu item in Umbraco 6.

    Try to see example number 3.

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

    Hope this can help you in the right direction.

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    I'd seen that page and it's all v4 stuff. It might prove useful but I'm trying to avoid spending time on the old documentation that may not apply.

    Regards, Matt

    Hi Matt,

    The documentation I linked to seems to be good for build a custom context menu item for Umbraco 6.1.6

    Try to see this thread

    http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/45168-How-to-create-a-custom-context-menu-item-i-Umbraco-616

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Yes, I saw that thread too before posting.

    It uses ApplicationBase which is the old way of doing things.

    Regards, Matt

    I followed the method in your link in the end Dennis.

    The code is full of 'Obsolete' warnings but it works fine and there's no documentation on the new stuff.

    Regards, Matt
