Is it possible to create a link to a Property Tab in the current page?

Anders Bjerner

As far as I know, no. But would be useful

Dean Leigh

Or even just the current page in the back office? Maybe a query string?

Anders Bjerner

@Dean Leigh not sure I follow the last question? Wouldn't that be something like

/umbraco/#/content/content/edit/1234

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:46 PM

yes but I need a generic for the current page e.g.

/umbraco/#/content/content/edit/current

if one exists

Anders Bjerner

09/04/2023, 5:52 PM

In what context would you need that?

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:53 PM

I have some blocks that require editing outside the block e.g. the page tile and description are in the page properties

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:53 PM

I could possibly make them editable in both places however it would be out of context with other page properties such as the short title and thumbnail

Anders Bjerner

09/04/2023, 5:54 PM

Where are they edited then?

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:55 PM

In a tab called page properties through a composition

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:56 PM

So I could compose it into the block as well

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:56 PM

I think

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:57 PM

Yep I could

Anders Bjerner

09/04/2023, 5:57 PM

I'm still not sure I follow. Where does the link to the current page come in?

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:57 PM

So I am currently using a label that tells the user to edit the Title and Desription in the Page Properties tab

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 5:58 PM

I would love to make Page Properties a link to the tab

Dean Leigh

But just refreshing the page works as it is the first tab

Anders Bjerner

09/04/2023, 6:01 PM

Refreshing seems like a viable solution. In theory you could use

SendingContentNotification

in C#, and edit the property description with a link to the current page. But I'm fairly certain nothing much will happen as the Angular route doesn't change (assuming I understand your case correctly)

Dean Leigh

09/04/2023, 6:02 PM

Yes the url does not change with each tab

Anders Bjerner

09/04/2023, 6:06 PM

At one point it wasn't possible to deep link to dashboards either, but IIRC someone created a PR for that. Might be worth looking into whether that code may be re-used for tabs on content and media.

I will thank you. I hope in the new UI we will be able to target any state
