Display custom field next to node name in the node tree
Hello all,
I know it sounds very custom, but just I'd like to know if there is a solution on that.
I have a custom field called "nodeCategory", is there anyway to display that field next to the node name within the node tree under th econtent section.
ie. - Home -- Articles --- Node name (nodeCategory)
You can to alter the node text using the BaseTree.BeforeNodeRender event (http://www.richardsoeteman.net/PermaLink,guid,f470b6cf-40da-4aa9-a0d9-7b984fe9bf59.aspx)
Something like this (I haven't tested this, but I am doing something similar):
Private Sub BaseContentTree_BeforeNodeRender(ByRef sender As XmlTree, ByRef node As XmlTreeNode, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If (node.NodeType.ToLower() = "content") Then
Dim d As New Document(node.NodeID)
Dim u As User = umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent()
If d IsNot Nothing AndAlso d.ContentType.Alias = "Page" Then
node.Text = d.Name &" ("& d.getProperty("nodeCategory").Value &")"
End If
End If
End Sub
Here's also a blog post explaining the same idea using similar code that Sean posted. It shows how to show the value of a datepicker next to the node name in the tree:
Following that Tom's post was a good way to start.
Actually was a bit more complex because there was just the nodeId in the the record. So I needed to bring the category name from the nodeId. And some nodes have more than one categories. Anyway we did the job.

Thanks both of you,
It seems that can be done, I just need to try this out.

Hello,
I have it ready
