Yogi -

It's difficult to tell your approach from the bit of code you provided, but the umbraco approach to this is via 'tasks.'  You'd implement:

umbraco.interfaces.ITaskReturnUrl

and then set your return value to True for the Save() Event - here's an example from Commerce for Umbraco:

        public bool Save()
        {
            Category thisCat = new Category();
            thisCat.CategoryName = _alias;
            thisCat.Save();
            int id = thisCat.CategoryID;
            m_returnUrl = string.Format("commerce/editCategory.aspx?c={0}", id);
            return true;
        }<span style="color: #2b91af; font-size: x-small;"></span>


If this isn't helping. I'd recommend grabbing the source from the Commerce for Umbrao project (http://commerce4umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx) and peeking in the .adminSection VS project for some hints on one approach.

Wow - the formatting in this RTE is always a surprise - second try:

Implement:

     umbraco.interfaces.ITaskReturnUrl

and the set your return to True for success:

        public bool Save()
        {
            Category thisCat = new Category();
            thisCat.CategoryName = _alias;
            thisCat.Save();
            int id = thisCat.CategoryID;
            m_returnUrl = string.Format("commerce/editCategory.aspx?c={0}", id);
            return true;
        }

One last tip - the notifications are called 'Speech Bubbles' in Umbraco-speak.

-Paul

Hi Yogi,

As Paul mentioned you can use the SpeechBbubble Method on the Basepage. I've wrote a blogpost with source about this a while back   http://www.richardsoeteman.net/PermaLink,guid,03a7169e-7710-4775-b9a4-435dc5c4da11.aspx

Below the snippet to show the speechbubble

if (Page is BasePage)  
{  
((BasePage)Page).speechBubble(BasePage.speechBubbleIcon.info, "Header","Some more info");  
}

Hope this helps you,

Richard

Nice solution Richard...a bit more direct than my suggestion - which really only applies to a new Admin Section and related tasks. 

Thumbs up for you!

-Paul

Just for peoples reference, v4.1 will change the best way to launch a speech bubble, the new ClientTools class (which is available off BasePage) has a SpeechBubble method to call

@paul thanks,

@slace So that will break in 4.1? Or is it duplicate? I will not be to happy to have two versions of my packages that use a speechbubble. Allthough I have to do that anyway for version 5.

@richard - no it wont break anything (we try not to break anything on version releases. Note I said try :P), it just obsoletes the old method. Shannon is just trying to consolidate all the client API calls into a single API as it's a lot easier to maintain. Currently there's a lot of different ways to interact with the admin client model, and it's hard to maintain.

hiya,

Thanks for all the replies folks.It certainly doesn't hurt for me to get an idea of how it works in this version.
