    Javascript for adding a node (of a particular type)

    Hi! My creative editors/writers like to have links on the dashboard for adding some common nodes. For example a shortcut for adding a new news node in the news folder.

    Create a news item

    Anyone knows how to do just that?

    Many thanks

    Jonas Eriksson

    Just create your own aspx and add them as dashboard control. In the aspx you can create nodes programatically.

    hth, Thomas

    Hi Jonas,

    Like Thomas mentioned, you should create your own usercontrol and add it to dashboard.

    Maybe Per's post about Blog 4 umbraco, 2.0.14 Easy blog creation helps you.

    Thanks, but I'm not sure that's what I want. I would just like the ui to pop up a new node-dialog, just as if the user right clicks the news-node and clicks Create.

    ok, maybe you want to look /umbraco/js/umbracoDefault.js

    function createNew()

    openModal("create.aspx?nodeID=" + nodeID + "&nodeType=" + nodeType + "&nodeName=" + nodeName + '&rnd=' + returnRandom(), uiKeys['actions_create'], 425, 600);

    Totally cool. The code became (on the dashboard)

    <button id="test" onclick="openModal('create.aspx?nodeID=1256&nodeType=content&rnd=12.3', uiKeys['actions_create'], 425, 600);">test</button>

    And on a document in the content window:

    <button id="test" onclick="parent.openModal('create.aspx?nodeID=1256&nodeType=content&nodeName=Nyhet&rnd=12.3', parent.uiKeys['actions_create'], 425, 600);">test</button>

    Thanks Jukka-Pekka!
