In a previous post*, I mentioned the idea of Custom Experience Buttons. In this post I thought I would take a closer look at how to implement one.
Sitecore supports FieldRenders for fields such as rich text, single-line text image and general link, however, other fields such as droplists, treelists, multilists, etc. are not easily represented in Experience Editor mode.
In the screenshot below, you can see that my Reference Component allows for the editing of the title field directly inline. However, the datasource of the component also contains a reference field called Reference items which is not editable inline.
Out of the box, the easiest way to get to this field is to either go to the content editor or use the Edit the related item option under the More drop-down. Both options are more cumbersome than necessary. Here's how you can create a custom button directly in the menu in the illustration above.
I hope this helps you out the next time you are trying to improve your content author experience.
