    Creating a custom datatype with 3 controls

    Hi,

    Is it possible to create a custom datatype which is a combination of 2 textbox and one media picker?

    It should be like

    Textbox1                  MediaPicker1                    TextDescription1

    Textbox2                  MediaPicker2                    TextDescription2

    Textbox3                  MediaPicker3                    TextDescription3

    Textbox4                  MediaPicker4                    TextDescription4

    Textbox5                  MediaPicker5                    TextDescription5

    Any, idea on how can I achieve this?

    Thanks,

    Sherry

    Hi Sherry,

    Have you looked at using the Embedded Content or the Repeatable Custom Content packages ?

    Cheers,

    Hendy

    Hi Sherry

    I think you can create any kind of datatype you would like. So it should be possible. You could checkout http://umbraco.tv/products/umbracotv to see videos on how to create your own datatype.

    But from what you have posted about I'm thinking that you could maybe actually create an XSLT macro with the above parameter set? Dependent on the use case of course...just a thought...

    Hi Jan,

    I've watched the video but then it shows how to save values for one control. So somehow, i'm confused on that part because the custom data type that we need consist of maximum 15 objects.
