Hello, I’ve added a custom attribute to dmx and I want to hide this attribute during the upload/create-process of documents or directories. I.e. I want to skip the 'custom'-step when a document is currently uploaded und just show the custom attribute if the attributes of an existing document are edited. How cloud I realize this? thanks

This is only possible if you created your own control for the attribute. Then you can show/hide stuff based on the context you are in. Peter

Thanks for the quick reply. I‘ve created my own *.ascx but I don’t know how to access the ‘upload-wizard’. My 1st approach to solve this problem was: `public override void LoadSettings() { if (this.EntryId < 0) this.Visible = false; //... }` With this solution, I was only hiding the control and got an empty custom-page where the user has to click 'next'. So, I want to skip this step to avoid an empty page.

I think you got as far as you could. There is no way to flag the wizard that you're invisible. But you can switch to single edit screen for the edit control and you don't get the wizard. Maybe that helps. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
