Hey folks,
I've been doing a fair bit of work with Ditto, Archetype & the Property Value Converters project Jeavon created. All in all great stuff. My one frustration is GetPropertyValue(alias, recursive) when grabbing ArchetypeModels.

A quick example of why I have such a setup. Say, I have a homepage with some authoring component for some footer logic which can be overwritten at a section lower down in the content tree. Currently GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("myFooterWidget", true) would return an ArchetypeModel with an empty fieldset. This is with the use of the "Start with Add" prevalue selected for the data type.

I believe the logic for grabbing such strongly type objects isn't as flexible as it should be. I've got a proposal gist here which allows the developer to provide a linq expression for determining how recursive values should be deemed valid for plucking.

Any thoughts/feedback would be welcome. I wonder if this should be added into custom property converters, but my current approach might have a bit more flexibility should it be required.

Thanks,
Jamie
