Pipeline Browse Command

Description

This module adds a command that allows the user to open an item from the Sitecore content tree in a new browser window.

Sitecore does not offer this out-of-the-box, except for the Preview command which has the effect of entering preview mode. This module will do exactly the same but without entering Preview mode.

Installation

The Sitecore package \Release\ParTech.Commands.Browse-1.0.1.zip contains:

• Binary (release build).
• Configuration include file.
• Core items that are required for this module.

Use the Sitecore Installation Wizard to install the package. After installation, the command will be available from:

• The context menu in the Content Editor Tree.
• The Navigation chunk in the ribbon.

It will not require any further configuration.

Release notes

1.0.0

• Initial release

1.0.1

• Added handling for default device configuration on elements. The command will now try to use the default device for the first site it finds that hosts the selected item and attempts to use the host name that is associated with that site. If none found, it uses the default preview website as it did before.
