    Is it possible to read content nodes information from Contour?

    Hi.

    I need to create a "Profile page" where a logged member can update his profile.

    One of the fields is a dropdown list containing categories created using "Content" section. I mean, i created a document type named "Category" and a datatype called "Categories" using "Ultimate picker" to display a dropdownlist with all categories defined. Any member must select his favourite "Category" but don't know how to get it working using Contour.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ivan,

    Well in contour you can create a prevalue source that is linked to content documents, then one that prevalue source is in place you can attach it to a dropdown/checkboxlist/radiobuttonlist

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for your reply. With your suggestion I've tried the following alternatives:

    1. Create a new "Prevalued Sources" of type "Umbraco datatype Prevalues" using my custom ultimate picker datatype as "DataType".
      • I get the following "Prevalues overview":
        ID: 17 Value: DropDownList|1080|Location|True
      • After assigning this prevalue type to a dropdown list within "my profile" form, i don't get rendered ultimate picker values but only "DropDownList|1080|Location|True" what is not what i am looking for.

    2. Create a new "Prevalued Sources" of type "Umbraco Documents", setting my root node and document type.
      • I get the following "Prevalues overview":
        ID: 1081 Value: Barcelona
        ID: 1082 Value: Sevilla
        ...
      • Assign as Default value {member.location} (member location field is of type ultimate picker but also tried content picker).

    With the second alternative i've got two problems:

    • I don't get rendered grandchildren location type nodes, like Barcelona -> Badalona.
    • Using "My Profile" form location's dropdown list i can update member profile's location but whenever i load the form, location's dropdown list is empty (don't remember selected value).

    Any ideas how can i get it working using Contour?

    Kind Regards,
    Ivan
