can i use a macro in a custom form layout?

Hi, I'm writing a custom tool to streamline the process of populating related documents.

I want to insert a link under the 'form' tab to open a pop-up window in the 'form' tab of the document type.

I'm thinking that i should be able to use the 'custom form layout' to insert the link and pass across the 'documentid' as a url parameter.

But i'm having trouble getting the documentid to display in the 'custom form layout' - can i use a macro in 'custom form layout' ? or some other method?

thanks for your help
Mark

RE:can i use a macro in a custom form layout?

Hello,

Regrettably, only localization macros are resolved in the custom form definition. To add a custom link you will need to customize the page that generates the Form tab which is located here: ~\CMSModules\Content\CMSDesk\Edit\Edit.aspx.cs and add a new link manually. Moreover, the current NodeID is stored in the Url parameter and it can be accessed using this code:

int nodeId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("nodeid", 0);

Best regards,
Michal Legen
