Adding a Button - implementation ideas/thoughts needed Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I would like to add a button to the Contact Details page. I know I can edit the ContactDetails form under forms under contact entity and add a button that way. The question is this, if I do that and the create a bundle to install our customizations what happens if other customizations also modify ContactDetails form ? What I really want is to have a form with one button on it, that i could programmatically render on the contact details page in a certain area... is this possible?

what is the best method for this type of customization? idea / suggestions ?

If what you're wanting to do is include a change to the ContactDetails form and then bundle it so that it won't loose customizations to an existing ContactDetails form when the bundle is installed then that isn't exactly possible (well, the person installing the bundle could use a merge tool to merge in the change - but that might require more knowledge than typical case).

If you can touch the ContactDetails form to add a browser control (which is really an iframe) you can load a SmartPart into that programatically. Also, you can modify the master page template to include a new workspace section, like TopDetailRight, that you could add SmartParts to.
