Hi Guys,

Have any of you created you own Editor for Items yet?

I'm looking for inspiration/sample code for creating a new EditorField that works much like the standard File selector, eg.:

- you click a button
- you browse aroud a new window
- you click an element
- the selected elements value is moved to your item editor field.

Are there any built-in helpers for this that we can use?

// Martin

Hi Martin

I can give you any source code from Dynamicweb if you would like that. You can use our filemanager or reuse (parts of) the filemanager control.

Take a look at "Implementing your own field editor" on http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/documentation/for-developers/item-based-structure/using-field-editors.aspx. Basically you just have to implement the BeginEdit and EndEdit methods. In Dynamicweb 8.5 it will also be possible to implement a custom RenderValue method that will control how the field value is actually rendered in the frontend.

Best regards,
Mikkel

Hi Nicolai,

I'd like to see some code for the FileManagerEditor,

Is the filemanager editor created via the public EditorField API aswell?

Hi Martin

Attached the code that we use. It uses Gui.Filemanager internally. Let me know if you need that code as well.
