Hi all,

When I set the Default Template Gallery for a channel and I click on "Create
New Page", the "Select Template Gallery" dialog opens with "View as List" as
the default.

But when I set the Default Resource Gallery for a channel and I click on
"Resource Manager", the "Select Resource Gallery" dialog opens with "View as
Tree" as the default.

How do I ensure that when I want to create a new page, the "Select Template
Gallery" opens with "View as Tree"??

Hi Dangeriz,

I have written a solution for this:

Hi Stefan,

Thanks! That's an awesome solution!

Just a typo in the word doc with this line:



should be:



And I still have 2 questions please:

1 - What are the dependencies of other CMS projects on the same server? I
know that they must have your DLL in the bin folder, but do they need to all
have the appSettings in their own web.config files? What happens if you don't
put the appSettings in? Does the site in question revert back to the standard
CMS dialog settings?

2 - The default Template Gallery and default Resource Gallery settings for a
channel never seem to work properly. Before I implemented your custom
dialogs, if you set the default Resource gallery, the Resource Manager dialog
will open in Tree view and the treeview will expand up to the Resource
Gallery you have chosen as the default, you still have to click on the
resource gallery to open it and it will then display "Select
Attachment/Manage Resources". Shouldn't it have that gallery open because it
is the default?

And the "Select Template Gallery" dialog (when you create a new page) opens
up with "View as List" as the default setting, and the selected Default
Template Gallery appears in the list, Microsoft should have initially made
the Template Gallery open so that the user doesn't have to click on it again.
And if I use your custom settings and change the default view to Tree, then
the treeview shows from the tree root, disregarding my selected default
Template Gallery which I've specified in Site Manager.

Please let me know if I'm missing something or implementing it wrong.

This functionality is important because when a CMS server really gets huge,
the content authors will struggle to find the correct Resource/Template.

Regards,
