Purpose of AreAuthCmdsVisible() in CMS 2001

Hi all

I am currently in the process of converting a CMS 2001 site into an ASPX 
enabled CMS 2002 site - what is the purpose of the AreAuthCmdsVisible() 
function being called within the 2001 ASP pages and is there an equivalent 
function in CMS 2002?

Thanks as always

Hi Shivonne,

this method allows you to determine if the authoring commands in the edit 
console are visible.
E.g. Authoring Preview, Save, Save & Exit, Cancel

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan

Is there a similar function in CMS 2002 that I can use at all?

Hi Shivonne,

sure: please check the WebAuthorContext.Mode property.
If this property has the value WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringNew or 
WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringReedit you will see these controls. You even 
could see if you are seeing the save new or save & exit button.

Cheers,
Stefan
