Customising the Quick Info Section in the Content Editor of Sitecore

问题

Is it possible to customise the quick info section in the content editor to show additional information about the item? Thanks

I think this would be quite tricky. If you look at Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentManager.Editor (in Sitecore.Client.dll), you'll see there is a RenderQuickInfo method. The HTML gets pieced together manually and is added to an EditorFormatter object as a literal control. All the classes involved are tightly integrated in to the application - there's no easily identifiable customisation point.

There are some pipelines associated with the rendering of the Content Editor,

renderContentEditor
getContentEditorFields
getContentEditorSkin

But I don't think these will provide an easy way in.

In general, I always think that if Sitecore haven't made part of the application easily customizable, then they probably did it on purpose.

One option could be a more js approach. The whole of the content editor is in the dom, albeit rather nested. It's slightly different but highlights the concept (http://blog.boro2g.co.uk/ever-edited-sitecore-web-db-mistake/).

I'd suggest if you use the example below in anger you make the xpath better - this was simply stolen from chrome dev tools.

As an example: with the following script pasted into the content manager.aspx file you can access some of the elements:

<script type="text/javascript">     
    window.onload=function(){ 
        var text = getElementByXpath('//*[@id="EditorPanel"]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]');
        if (text) {
            text.innerText = "hi";
        } else {                
        }
    };        
    function getElementByXpath(path) {
        return document.evaluate(path, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
    }
</script>

Which then allows you to update text (see screenshot): quickinfo says hi
