Hi,

Sorry I missed your reply. The control that will generate the drop-down is:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="pageEditContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

Thanks,

Hi,

No that control will not display the other items. When the Admin Toolbar was added to mojoPortal, this control was changed to only show the workflow dropdown if the admin links were already on the page.

If the control is displaying the admin links, it probably due to the IDs for those controls being different than what mojoPortal is expecting.

The original intent of the user control I posted on this thread wasn't to hide the admin links from people who aren't admins. It was to hide other links like SiteMap, Search and user defined links from non-admins. While the solution only hides the links and doesn't secure pages, it is what the original poster wanted.

Are you including any of the controls below in your user control?

<portal:AdminMenuLink id="lnkAdminMenu" runat="server" />
<portal:FileManagerLink id="lnkFileManager" runat="server" />
<portal:NewPageLink id="lnkNewPage" runat="server" />
<portal:PageEditFeaturesLink id="lnkPageContent" runat="server" />
<portal:PageEditSettingsLink id="lnkPageSettings" runat="server" />

If you do, that will pose an issue. What I have done on other sites when I want to include links to other admin pages like "Content Manager" and "Add/Edit Pages" is put links to those pages inside of my user control and then add my user control to my layout.master in the location that the rest of my admin links appear. So if my links were in a simple list, it would look something like this:

<ul>
  <cc1:AdminOnlyLinks id="AdminOnlyLinks1" runat="server" />
  <li><portal:AdminMenuLink id="lnkAdminMenu" runat="server" /></li>
  <li><portal:FileManagerLink id="lnkFileManager" runat="server" /></li>
  <li><portal:NewPageLink id="lnkNewPage" runat="server" /></li>
  <li><portal:PageEditFeaturesLink id="lnkPageContent" runat="server" /></li>
  <li><portal:PageEditSettingsLink id="lnkPageSettings" runat="server" /></li>
  <li><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="pageEditContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder></li>
</ul>

 My User Control would look like this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="AdminOnlyLinks.ascx.cs" ClassName="AdminOnlyLinks.ascx" Inherits="Controls_AdminOnlyLinks" %>
<portal:LogoutLink id="LogoutLink" runat="server" CssClass="logoff" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:SiteMapLink id="SiteMapLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<li><a href="/Admin/ContentCatalog.aspx">Content Manager</a></li>
<li><a href="/Admin/PageTree.aspx">Add/Edit Pages</a></li>

When this renders in my browser, it would look like this:

<ul>
  <li><a class="sitelink logoff" href="/Secure/Logoff.aspx">Sign Out</a></li> 
  <li><a class="sitelink" href="/SiteMap.aspx">Sign Out</a></li>
  <li><a href="/Admin/ContentCatalog.aspx">Content Manager</a></li>
  <li><a href="/Admin/PageTree.aspx">Add/Edit Pages</a></li>
  <li><a class="adminmenulink" href="/Admin/AdminMenu.aspx">Administration</a></li>
  <li><a class="filemanlink" href="/Dialog/FileManagerDialog.aspx">File Manager</a></li>
  <li><a class="newpagelink" href="/Admin/PageSettings.aspx?start=0">New Page</a></li>
  <li><a class="pageeditlink" href="/Admin/PageLayout.aspx?pageid=0">Edit This Page</a></li>
  <li><a class="pagesettingslink" href="/Admin/PageSettings.aspx?pageid=0">Page Settings</a></li>
  <li><select class="ddworkflow" name="ctl01$pageEditContent$ctl00">
          <option value="WorkInProgress" selected="selected">Work in Progress</option>
          <option value="Live">Live Content</option>
        </select>
  </li>
</ul>

Hi Joe,

I think you may have misread my last post. I mentioned the id's of the admin link controls. Further, in my example the admin control links aren't inside of the user control.

I think we are thinking the same thing because I also mentioned that the original user control I wrote was specifically for hiding links from non-admins that aren't already hidden.

What alkos333 is trying to do is put all of his links including the admin control links inside of his user control which we have establish will not work. What he needs to do is put his special links that he wants hidden in his user control and all others including the pageEditContent ContentPlaceHolder directly inside the layout.master.

Thanks,
Joe D.
