Adding Tab to Content Editor Taskbar
Q:
Is it possible to add a new tab to the Content Editor taskbar?
A:
Follow the steps below to add a new tab for the Security Editor application on the Content Editor taskbar (see the screenshot below):
- Switch to the Core database.
- Create a new item named 'SecurityEditorForm' under Sitecore » System » Settings » Content Editor » Applications.
- Point the Source Field value to the ASPX page which defines the tab (see below).
Creating the .html file for the tab:
- Use the following page: \sitecore\shell\Applications\Workbox\Default.html as a basis for your .html page. (You may create any other page of your own or modify the existing one)
- Locate the <td id="WorkboxFrame"> section on the newly created page and replace the existing line with the one emphasized in bold below:
<td id="WorkboxFrame">
<iframe src="default.html?xmlcontrol=SecurityEditor" width="100%"
height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</td>
