Show property descriptions in the edit view

Tuesday, January 08, 2008 by Administrator

One of the things that never got implemented in umbraco for some odd reason was showing property descriptions when you edit a page. As you might know, you can add a description on a property when editing a Document Type. This could contain handy information that could be of great use for the editors.

However, in the current released version of umbraco it's not used at all, which I got reminded by an "umbraco Pro" customer who asked why? The answer is simple - it was simply forgotten. The fix was easy and I've just committed the change to CodePlex.

Now there's an option in /config/umbracoSettings.config to show descriptions as text, help icons with tooltip or no descriptions at all :

description-text

description-icon

This change will be a part of the 3.1 distribution. I hope you like it and if there's similar things you wonder about, make sure to submit a frustration!
