Icons in the page tree

A critical vulnerability was discovered in React Server Components (Next.js). Our systems remain protected but we advise to update packages to newest version. Learn More.

There are several ways to add icons in the page tree in EPiServer. And here is one more :)

If you are using strong typed pages you can implement one of two interfaces

Code Snippet
 public interface IHaveStatusIcons
{
    List<Image> StatusIcons();
}
public interface IHavePageIcon
{
    Image PageIcon();
}
 

Then its easy to add icons inside the page type , since you can override the icons generated, and/or add your own. The code bellow will at an icon on pages that everyone have not access to,

Code Snippet
 public class BasePageType : TypedPageData, IHaveStatusIcons
{
    #region IHaveStatusIcons Members
    bool IsPageForEveryOne(PageData page)
    {
        foreach (KeyValuePair<string, AccessControlEntry> pair in page.ACL)
        {
            if (pair.Value.Name == "Everyone" && ((pair.Value.Access & AccessLevel.Read) == AccessLevel.Read))
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
 
    public virtual List<System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image> StatusIcons()
    {
        List<Image> list = new List<Image>();
        if (!IsPageForEveryOne(this))
        {
            Image icon = new Image();
            icon.ImageUrl = "/images/noaccess.jpg";
            icon.Height = Unit.Pixel(11);
            icon.ToolTip = "Everyone have no access";
            list.Add(icon);
        }
 

The whole code is not very long, and you need to register the page adaptor like this

Code Snippet
 <browsers>
  <browser refID="Default">
    <controlAdapters>
        <adapter controlType="EPiServer.UI.WebControls.PageTreeView" adapterType="Itera.Adapters.PageTreeViewAdapter" />
    </controlAdapters>
  </browser>
</browsers>
