Custom AvailableContentTypes attribute

Does anyone know if we can create a custom attribute to show/hide a page type that depends on a custom condition? I would like to have an attribute like:

[CustomAvailableContentType]
public class ProductPage : StandardPage, IHasRelatedContent
{
}

Hi Francisco,

Yep. I wrote a blog post about a similar scenario. The post is about feature switching based on language but, as I say at the end, you can use any custom logic you like to decide whether to show the content type or not:

In short, you'd need to create an implementation of ContentTypeAvailabilityService which checks for the attrtibute and applies the relevant logic to determine whether the content type should be shown.
