Defaulting the editor to the favourites tab in edit mode
I have customers that have expressed a wish that when a editor enters edit mode the favourites tab should be the default instead of showing the page tree.
I found a post by Allan Thraen which added an extra row to the context menu with using a PagePlugIn but I didn’t get it to work.
So I ended up with adding some code to the onload method in my own pagetemplate class which inherits from TemplatePage, modyfying the url for the editmode option.
1: if (ContextMenu.IsMenuEnabled)
2: {
3: RightClickMenuItem item = null;
4:
5: item = EPiServer.Web.PageExtensions.ContextMenu.Current.Menu.Items["EditMode"];
6: if (item != null)
7: {
8:
9: item.Url += "%26tabid=1";
10: }
11: }

So many times, I've thought I should try this. Nicely done.
