This is the SQL Function to retrieve the list of datatypes used... My question is : why isn't there a way to find a function to get that list ! I'm really pissed of ! If you need to display this list in the CMS, WHY IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO GET THAT LIST with a simple call to a simple F**** function !
How portable is it to write my own function ? I'm losing hours and hours just to find things that exists or not, that doesn't work at all, that are implemented as apes, or whatever ...
I can understand a developer getting frustrated by the lack of documentation, or struggling to find the right API call - it is frustrating!
For me, when I learned my way around the Umbraco API, I literally sat there with Reflector open, searching for the various API calls - figuring out how it all worked. But that takes time and effort. Aside from that, it was the community & forum that helped me with other problems.
No one likes F-bombs or rants... so if you need help, then just ask - seriously we all love to help here.
I'm doing the same with the original source code open... I should have started with that... Google didn't helped, and the search on umbraco just found 2 items that has nothing to do with "List of datatypes".
I spent a lot of time with reflector to extract piece of of for other components, or just to fix bugs of those components. It's a full time job just to get the pieces together.. .But I'm getting through my first page in a extra section of umbraco... 3 days to find info and just a few minutes of coding :-)
List of datatypes
SELECT umbracoNode.id, umbracoNode.trashed, umbracoNode.parentID, umbracoNode.nodeUser, umbracoNode.[level], umbracoNode.path, umbracoNode.sortOrder, umbracoNode.uniqueID, umbracoNode.text, umbracoNode.nodeObjectType, umbracoNode.createDate FROM umbracoNode INNER JOIN cmsDataType ON umbracoNode.id = cmsDataType.nodeIdThis is the SQL Function to retrieve the list of datatypes used...

Hi Laurent,

Cheers, Lee.
PS. We've got some groovy XsltExtensions in uComponents... take a look, they might help?
