Tridion UI on Dynamic Page

Question

I have created a Page Dynamically which query the broker database and and based on filter displays the component presentation on run time. I have used Tridion UI on the page to edit the components.

Now as the content on the Page is Dynamic, I do not want to use the "Create and Insert Content" functionality as it will create the component and it will try to insert that on Page which I don't want here.

Is there any way so that I can disable the "Insert Content" and "New Page" functionality for the page using dynamic CP's?

All I want is to in able the "Create Content" which uses required Content Type.

Answer 1

Buttons in Ribbon Toolbar has associated command with it. By click on the Button, Command will be invoked. There exists a supported way of extending existing Commands. So you can create Commands extensions for Insert Conter and New Page Buttons, which will override "isEnabled" method.

Answer 2

I believe there in no out of box functionality to disable these option on any specific template type. You may need add GUI Extn to disable these option.

Meenakshi. You can disable and/or hide these buttons/functionality with config settings. As Vikas points out, in terms of disabling them within a specific context you'll have to look at a GUI Extension of some sort that, on presenting the interface checks the context of the page/cps and acts accordingly.
