Sitecore Page Editor - How to Extend the Page Editor Toolbar

Question

You need to add the “publish” function to the page editor, section editing element. (In the Advanced section, it would be ideal). How can i do this?

Answer 1

First you need to create a class of commands. The easiest option:

using System; using Sitecore.Shell.Applications.WebEdit.Commands; using Sitecore.Shell.Framework; using Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands; namespace my.assembly.namespace { [Serializable] public class Publish : WebEditCommand { public override void Execute(CommandContext context) { if (context.Items.Length != 1) return; Items.Publish(context.Items[0]); } } } 

Register a new command in Sitecore.config (or Commands.config ):

 <configuration> <sitecore> <commands> <command name="my:publish" type="my.assembly.namespace.Publish,my.assembly"/> </commands> </sitecore> </configuration> 

Then:

• Enter Sitecore Desktop
• Switch database to kernel
• Duplicate /sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Common Field Buttons/Edit related item
• Rename the new item to Publish related item
• Set the Click property of this element to my:publish
• Change other properties of the element ( Header , Icon , Tooltip )
• Switch database back to master
• Open the Page Editor and test the new command (it should open a standard publication popup with the corresponding ID element as a parameter in the URL).

Answer 2

We can achieve this without changing the code.

 <command name="webedit:publish" type="Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands.PublishItem,Sitecore.Kernel" /> 

Add the above entry to the Commands.config file. This file is available in the include folder.

• Login to Sitecore Desktop
• Switching the database to the kernel
• Duplicate / sitecore / content / Applications / WebEdit / General field buttons / Edit related item
• Rename a new item to publish the associated item
• Set the Click property of this element to chrome: common: edititem ({command: "webedit: publish"})
• Switch database back to main
• Open the page editor and test the new command (it should open a standard publication popup with the corresponding element identifier as a parameter in the URL).
