Anyone?
To add a datatype to Courier (1.2) I need the alias. I cannot find this in the database or anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think datatypes have an alias.
They have a GUID and a name.
Can you use the GUID to register it?
The courier config file needs the GUID and the alias. Although, it's the control alias not the datatype. Still no idea where that comes from
Don't know what you mean by "control" ?
I mean the 'control' you render when you create a datatype
Ah, so you're talking about custom dataTypes then..
I had a look in the uComponents.Core.dll and can't find anything.
I also looked in a custom control I created in umbraco.config file and there doesn't seem to be an alias.
I'm not sure where excatly custom data types are stored, can't find them in db either but this is going to annoy me now!
I don't think there is an alias for the control though but sorry I can't be of any help :)
I don't think this key/alias relates to your datatype in any way, I think you can make up your own value as long as it's unique.

Kewl. Leyt's try that then..
According to the documentation I've found, that should be the case. Hasn't worked though. I'm going to blame that on the old version being used.
Richard: I'm not sure what the distinction is you are making with 'custom datatypes'. All datatypes render a control
Only distinction I can see is that custom dataTypes aren't registered in the db whereas the standard Umbraco ones are
