Creating an initial configuration for your Editor

The configuration for your Editor specifies how you extend the GUI. To get started, first create a basic, empty Editor configuration file. You can expand it later as you add custom controls and behaviors.

Procedure

  1. Access a text editor that lets you edit an XML file.
  2. Create the following empty configuration file:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <Configuration 
    xmlns="http://www.sdltridion.com/2009/GUI/Configuration/Merge" 
    xmlns:cfg="http://www.sdltridion.com/2009/GUI/Configuration" 
    xmlns:ext="http://www.sdltridion.com/2009/GUI/extensions" 
    xmlns:cmenu="http://www.sdltridion.com/2009/GUI/extensions/ContextMenu">
      <resources>
        <cfg:groups />
      </resources>
      <extensions>
        <ext:editorextensions>
          <ext:editorextension target="CME">
            <ext:editurls />
            <ext:listdefinitions />
            <ext:taskbars />
            <ext:commands />
            <ext:commandextensions />
            <ext:contextmenus />
            <ext:lists />
            <ext:tabpages />
            <ext:toolbars />
            <ext:ribbontoolbars />
          </ext:editorextension>
        </ext:editorextensions>
        <ext:dataextenders />
      </extensions>
      <commands />
      <settings />
    </Configuration>
  3. Save this file under a name with extension .config (for example, MyOrgEditor.config), and add it to your Visual Studio solution in a folder called Configuration.
