How can I add action to Actions of the ContentItem and hide a certain action of the ContentItem,please?

You should be able to make a ContentDisplayDriver for SummaryAdmin views that targets ActionsMenu .

public class MyAdditionalActionButtonDriver : ContentDisplayDriver
{
    public override IDisplayResult Display(ContentItem contentItem)
    {
        return Shape("MyAdditionalActionButton_SummaryAdmin__Button__Actions", new ContentItemViewModel(contentItem))
            .Location("SummaryAdmin", "ActionsMenu:10");
    }
}

And then just add the driver to your Startup.cs and add your view.

I am not sure the best way to hide an action button. Maybe a placements file?

Hi @douwinga ,

Where can I find all targets like ActionMenu , please?

[douwinga]

I don't think there is a place to find all of the targets. I just look at the views/drivers in the OC source and find something that I know does something similar to what I am trying to do.

Hi @douwinga ,

These codes can run, but there is a question that my additional action present in ActionsMenu of any content type, I hope that my additional action only present in ActionsMenu of the specific content type, how shoud I do,please?

You should be able to use RenderWhen to handle showing a button only for a specific content type. Something like this

 return Shape("MyAdditionalActionButton_SummaryAdmin__Button__Actions", new ContentItemViewModel(contentItem))
     .Location("SummaryAdmin", "ActionsMenu:10")
     .RenderWhen(() => Task.FromResult(contentItem.ContentType == "MyContentType"));
