One custom backend usercontrol referring to another ?
I was just wondering what your approach is when you have two usercontrols in the backend that need to refer to eachother?
So we have a large "digitalArchive" that has it's own management control (item in a custom section), and another one "digitalArchiveCategories", that does what it pretty much sais.
Normally (in our old custom CMS), we'd have seperate URL's for the two controls, so we could have links from "digitalArchive" items towards "digitalArchiveCategories", and the other way around...
Because of the way umbraco works in it's backend ( umbraco/umbraco.aspx#DigitalArchive -> javascript and iframes ) i don't immediatly see how we'd do this? Any suggestions?
I recall doing something similar where i had one dashboard usercontrol, this had 4/5 links each of these needed to goto a different usercontrol. In non cms asp.net you would have pages with those controls on and link to those pages. What i had was post back and depending on option selected loadusercontrol method to load the usercontrol see http://forums.asp.net/t/1222567.aspx or do google on dynamically loading usercontrols.
