Customising the Quick Info Section in the Content Editor of Sitecore

Is it possible to customise the quick info section in the content editor to show additional information about the item? Thanks

I think this would be quite tricky. If you look at Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentManager.Editor (in Sitecore.Client.dll), you'll see there is a RenderQuickInfo method. The HTML gets pieced together manually and is added to an EditorFormatter object as a literal control. All the classes involved are tightly integrated in to the application - there's no easily identifiable customisation point.

There are some pipelines associated with the rendering of the Content Editor,

• renderContentEditor
• getContentEditorFields
• getContentEditorSkin

But I don't think these will provide an easy way in.

In general, I always think that if Sitecore haven't made part of the application easily customizable, then they probably did it on purpose.
