    Looking for a new data type

    Hi all,

    I need a datatype that will store multiple "rows" of the following elements:

    • Image
    • Url
    The markup I want to be able to produce is like so:
    <ul>
    <li>
    <a href="someurl">
    <img src="/media/media.jpg" />
    </a>
    </li>
    <li>
    <a href="some-other-url">
    <img src="/media/media2.jpg" />
    </a>
    </li>
    </ul>
    What I'm wondering is whether anyone knows of a datatype that exists (ootb or downloadable) or whether I need to develop something.
    Thanks in advance
    Al

    Two datatypes I can think of that will fit your needs:

    uComponents DataTypeGrid

    uComponents Mulit-Url Picker

    Each of them allow you to store rows of data. Both store their information as xml so it's easicly accessible for xslt or razor.

    You could also try the Embedded content datatype - and create a 'child' doctype with a media picker and a content picker/textstring for the URL.

    The stored data is standard Umbraco XML so you can create your markup with an XSLT or Razor macro.
