Maybe I should explain what I want to accomplish :-)

I created an Umbraco 7 Custom Section with a menu tree.

When I rightclick a menu item I want to be able to add a new item.

Therefor I need to pass the id of the parent node to my angularjs controller, so I know to which parent node I need to add the new node.

Is this id available somewhere? (in $scope or $routeParams or somewhere else?)

Or do I need to pass it myself using the example above?

I can't find any documentation about this.

Thank you for any help.

After a long search I found my additional data (named "parent" in my example) in the dialogOptions :-D

var dialogOptions = $scope.dialogOptions;
$scope.ProductCategoryPK = dialogOptions.currentAction.metaData.parent;

Is that the correct way to retrieve it?

Thanks. K.

Hi,

I am trying to do the exact same thing...

Here is my menu item

private void ContentTreeController_MenuRendering(TreeControllerBase sender, MenuRenderingEventArgs e)
        {
            var item = new MenuItem("exportCsv", "Export to CSV");
            item.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/App_Plugins/exportCsv/index.html");
            item.AdditionalData.Add("parent", "1234");
            item.Icon = "save";
            e.Menu.Items.Insert(e.Menu.Items.Count, item);
        }

Here is my html

<div class="umbracoDialog umb-dialog">
    <p>Click <em>export</em> to download items to CSV</p>

    <script>
        var dialogOptions = $scope.dialogOptions;
        $scope.ProductCategoryPK = dialogOptions.currentAction.metaData.parent;
        alert(dialogOptions.currentAction.metaData.parent);
    </script>

    <div class="umb-dialog-footer btn-toolbar umb-btn-toolbar">
        <a href="/Umbraco/Backoffice/Api/NewsItemExport/Export?nodeTypeAlias=jobClassificationIndustry" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">
            Export
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

How do I access the $scope.dialogOptions; as in your example. Is this through javascript or am I understanding something wrong?

Any assistance would be appreciated

I was working in javascript, indeed.

is working on a reply...
