I typically use the control @Edit.Toolbar(Content, actions:"edit,new,remove,instance-list") on the items themselves. Then the user can edit the entire list from click the button on any of the items. Logically, it would make more sense for them to click the instance-list button from the ListContent

In previous versions of 2SXC, the user could hover over the DNN black and white pencil icon and click "Edit List" which made a lot of sense. This control is not available in newer versions of 2SXC so they have to edit the list by going to any of the list items.

I tried using 'instance-list' in the ListContent controls but it doesn't seem to be available there. Is there a way to give the instance-list control to the ListContent control?

I have a scenario where this is especially important. On some lists that I have, I prefer to force my user to use the Edit List to enter a list title but also edit content from the list interface rather than me putting the around every link.

The instance-list is the correct button, just ATM it doesn't offer the additional buttons. I believe others have requested it as well, we just haven't found time to implement it. You can open a new issue, but code-contributions would work even better :)

  • Any update about this topic? We recently updated our DNN installation from 7.2 to 9.2 and, consequently, 2sxc from 6.6.5 to 9.32. We made extensive use of this feature in the past, populating a "database" of elements and then showing elements on a page while hiding them in another page. Seeing this feature as gone really left us distraught. – SteveVg Mar 19 '19 at 16:24
  • Sorry, I don't really remember what this is about. Could you maybe post a new issue with more details? – iJungleBoy Mar 20 '19 at 17:48
  • Briefly, in old versions 2sxc provided the button "Edit list", on top of the others while editing, that permitted to edit a list of items to show (see https://imgur.com/a/HrxOnWl). Newer versions seem to have removed this option. Currently, we have resolved by porting sxc 6.6.5 to DNN 9.3 – SteveVg Mar 22 '19 at 10:38
  • This still works - it's in the second set (list-buttons) https://imgur.com/a/Iqt2lmb – iJungleBoy Mar 25 '19 at 10:19
  • It seems that I can't see all that stuff from my module: the only buttons I see are these, in an animated gif: https://imgur.com/oFLnyPP – SteveVg Mar 25 '19 at 16:20
  • One of two things happend. Either your template doesn't have a toolbar - so you are just seeing the fallback toolbar provided to ensure you can access admin etc. OR your template isn't configured to be a list. I would suggest adding @Edit.Toolbar() anywhere in the file and probably you'll get the toolbar you want :) – iJungleBoy Mar 26 '19 at 18:40
  • No luck with @Edit.Toolbar(). And the template is a list https://imgur.com/a/5mFARhK – SteveVg Mar 27 '19 at 09:24
  • sorry, the empty Edit.Toolbar also just gives a default toolbar. To get the one with the list, you need to use @Edit.Toolbar(item) - where Item is an entity from the list. It can be the default `Content` object or an item inside your loop. – iJungleBoy Mar 28 '19 at 10:37
  • Now it works! Thank you very much for your support! – SteveVg Mar 28 '19 at 13:50
