Basically it's simple, but yet no one has ever done something similar. Only thing that needs done is implement an interface IMacroGuiRendering... Richard has put up a sample on his blog for inspiration
Yes, i have read Richards blog post which helped me with the basics of creating a Custom Macro Parameter Type. I guess I have to dive deeper into implementing an IMacroGuiRendering interface if i am going to create a Multiple Content Picker Macro Type Paramter that works kinda like the Multi-Node Tree Picker from uComponents. Feel free to share your thoughts and/or good ideas. It would be much appreciated :)
I too look for this feature, so please share if you'd got any further.
I really don't get why there is a bunch of single content picker types shipped with Umbraco (contentAll, contentPicker, contentRandom(?!), contentSubs, contentTree), when they seems to be doing exactly the same thing...?
I'll let you know if I develop a own multiple content picker type.
Multiple Content Picker Macro Parameter Type
Hi!
I need to develop af Multiple Content Picker Macro Type, so i am able to pick multiple content nodes (like the uComponents Multi-Node Tree Picker).
With the Content Picker Macro Type it is only possible to pick one node at a time.
Do you think this is possible, and does anybody have any good ideas where to start/look?
Emil,

Hey Emil, did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same need and interested to learn from your experience.
Thanks!

This would be handy for me too.
I also question the difference between the "contentAll" and "contentPicker" types. Anyone know?
hey matt the easy answer is :
