Drag and drop block, clone instance or same instance? Extend existing dojo-components?
Hi,
Sure, you just have to inherit the current implementation (see "epi-cms/contentediting/editors/ContentAreaEditor" and "epi-cms/widget/overlay/ContentArea") and create an EditorDescriptor for ContentArea type with EditorDescriptorBehavior set to OverrideDefault. I usually unzip "~/modules/_protected/CMS/CMS.zip" so I can check the default implementation. The files are located in "{version-number}/ClientResources/epi-cms" folder in the zip file.

Hi,
Me and a few colleagues of mine discussed if it would be possible to extend the "drag and drop" features of blocks for EPiServer..
Basically our scenario would be that we have a bunch of shared blocks across our site, these blocks are all templates of content/blocks.
Once an editor drag and drop one of the blocks we would like to show a dialog with a message asking them if they want to use the same instance of the block, or a cloned instance of the block.
I assume this would be possible to achive using an EditorDescriptor, however.. is it possible to extend the javascript/dojo-component of the current implementation of a content area somehow?
