devCode

Recently a BE.NET user was requesting a link list widget that supported multiple group which is not available in the current 'Link List' widget. Therefore, I have spent some time to create a new widget by using the ASP.NET treeview control to have a better UI grouping presentation.

Throughout the development cycle, I thought of it will be added value if I exposed some of the basic settings to the user like list below,

• Main node title.
• Group node image.
• Link node image.
• Show/Hide the main node.
• Show/hide the dotted line.
• Expand/collapse node capability.
• Cutomize the group and link node style.
• The easy way to rearrange the group and link order.
• Show/hide individual group/link.
• Support multiple sub group.

Screen shot below show the major 'Treeview Link List' widget settings

While the following screen shot is the look and feel of this widget.

Now you may download and start using it in your personal blog that used .NET BlogEngine as the base engine.

 I notice the current 'TextBox' widgets come with the BlogEngine.NET was trim off some of the JavaScript. Therefore, I have decided to create my own Html/javaScript widget. Which I just change the code edit to a normal Textbox control instead of the TinyMCE WYSWYG editor used in the TextBox widget.

How to

1. After download and unzip the HtmlBox-Widgets.zip
2. Copy into the 'Widgets' folder in your BlogEngine.NET web application root folder
3. Now you can start using it. ;)
