Help with Datatype creation - Brand/Model relation
Hello
On a node I would like to be able to add a property where I can choose a brand, and after that a model which is related to that brand.
I figured for the brands I could just make a dropdown where the brands are created as options.
The same could be done for the models, but then there is no relation. When creating a model I would like to be able to select a parent brand.
When using the above on a node I would like it to be possible to first select a brand, and then be able to select models related to the specific choosen brand.
How would you guys go about implementing somthing like this in Umbraco?
I am not sure whether there is a combo-box datatype anywhere, but i tend to do the following:
set up the 'brand' and the 'model' documentTypes
create the appropriate product structure with brands and their child models [this can either be done in the site e.g. products section, or seperately in a 'shared resources' section
use the multi node tree picker to select models - because of the structure you can get the parent brand from every model

Hi, what sort of content is a brand and what sort of content is a model? Charlie :)
