    Custom DataType/DataEditor Question

    So I've watched the videos at Umbraco TV regarding custom Data Types/Data Editors here:

    http://umbraco.tv/help-and-support/video-tutorials/developing-with-umbraco/data-editors/adding-settings-to-your-data-editor

    And I have successfully created a new data editor with a prevalue setting as well.

    Now I would like to allow the user to add several "prevalue" values, exactly the same way that a Dropdown list does. Essentially a list of prevalues that can be easily added or deleted by a developer.

    IE.

    1) User Create a new datatype:
    2) User clicks Save
    3) User adds prevalue clicks save
    4) User does the same and can now see both values with the "delete" link next to it.

    I can't see how this would be set up in the code. I've looked throug the DB and can't work it out there either.

    Any ideas would be excellent!

    Thanks!

    Evan

    Hi Evan,

    Is that the only config option you need ? Then you can just use a default prevalue provider, take a look at the sourcecode for the dropdown datatype and you'll see how you need to use it

    Basicly it's this part:

     

    public override interfaces.IDataPrevalue PrevalueEditor 
         {
             get 
              {
                 if (_prevalueeditor == null)
                      _prevalueeditor = new KeyValuePrevalueEditor(this);
                   return _prevalueeditor;
               }
         }
