Hi Fuji,

Are you still using uComponents?  If so, check if you have the "uComponents.Legacy.dll" in your /bin folder.  If so, then you could do this:

namespace Our.Umbraco
{
    using uComponents.Core.DataTypes.MultipleTextstring; // for v4.x
    // using uComponents.DataTypes.MultipleTextstring; // for v5.x
    using umbraco.editorControls;
    using umbraco.MacroEngines;

    [RazorDataTypeModel(DataTypeGuids.MultipleTextstringId)]
    public class MyMultipleTextstringModelBinder : MultipleTextstringModelBinder
    {
    }
}

Copy-n-paste that into a separate C# class (either drop it into your /App_Code folder - or if you already have other compiled code, put it in there)

What this does is convert the Multiple Textstring into a list of strings. Then you can use it in your Razor scripts, like so:

@foreach(var t in f.GetProperty("caption").Value)
{
    <h1>@Library.StripHtml(t)</h1>
}

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

No am using the custom Multiple TextString in v4.9.1. So i just need to make use of the namespace uComponents ? or do i need to install uComponents?

Hi Fuji,

No problem - don't worry about installing uComponents :-)

You can add in the custom Razor Model Binder code (from uComponents) https://ucomponents.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#uComponents.Legacy/DataTypes/MultipleTextstring/MultipleTextstringModelBinder.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;
using umbraco.MacroEngines;

namespace Our.Umbraco
{
    [RazorDataTypeModel(DataTypeGuids.MultipleTextstringId)]
    public class MultipleTextstringModelBinder : IRazorDataTypeModel
    {
        public bool Init(int CurrentNodeId, string PropertyData, out object instance)
        {
            var values = new List<string>();

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(PropertyData))
            {
                var xml = new XmlDocument();
                xml.LoadXml(PropertyData);

                foreach (XmlNode node in xml.SelectNodes("/values/value"))
                {
                    values.Add(node.InnerText);
                }
            }

            instance = values;

            return true;
        }
    }
}

Do keep in mind that if you use this code, it will convert all of your Multiple Textstring values into a proper strongly-typed model. :-)

Cheers, Lee.

Any Specific naming convention for this Lee ?? Or i just drop it in my App_code folder ?

Thanks 

Just call it "MultipleTextstringModelBinder.cs" and drop it in your /App_Code folder.

Cheers, Lee.

Hmm, Am getting an ugly server error though

CS0103: The name 'DataTypeGuids' does not exist in the current context

namespace Our.Umbraco

Line 6:  {

Line 7:      [RazorDataTypeModel(DataTypeGuids.MultipleTextstringId)]

Line 8:      public class MultipleTextstringModelBinder : IRazorDataTypeModel

Line 9:      {

Ah, change it to:

[RazorDataTypeModel(umbraco.editorControls.DataTypeGuids.MultipleTextstringId)]

Thanks Lee but still not working though

This 

@foreach(var t in f.GetProperty("sliderImageCaption").Value){ @Library.StripHtml(f.GetProperty("sliderImageCaption").Value) }

Output 
t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2t 1 t 2

Instead of t1 t2 

and if  i change it to @Library.StripHtml(t) i get some errors while saving

error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'umbraco.MacroEngines.Library.RazorLibraryCore.StripHtml(System.Web.IHtmlString)' has some invalid arguments

Could try removing the @Library.StripHtml?  (I'm not sure what it is expecting for an input)

Am basically using this in a javascript. When removing the symbol * for the split to work i get this

@foreach(var t in f.GetProperty("sliderImageCaption").Value.Split("*".ToCharArray())){ <h1>@Library.StripHtml(f.GetProperty("sliderImageCaption").Value)</h1>  }

output 

<h1>t 1 *t 2</h1>   <h1>t 1 *t 2</h1>

And if i use this 

@foreach(var t in f.GetProperty("sliderImageCaption").Value.Split("*".ToCharArray())){ <h1>@Library.StripHtml(t)</h1> 

<h1><values><value>t 1 </h1>   <h1>t 2</h1>

But am looking for and output like 

<h1>t 1 </h1>   <h1>t 2</h1>

Hi Fuji,

I'm assuming that you now have the model binding code in place?  If so, then you don't need to split the string yourself - that will already be done for you.

So this should work...

@foreach(var item in f.GetProperty("caption").Value)
{
    <h1>@item </h1>
}

If that doesn't work - then I'm not sure what the answer is. :-(

Nope this output :(

<h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> s</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>   <h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>   <h1> t</h1>   <h1>  </h1>   <h1> 1</h1>   <h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> /</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>   <h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>   <h1> t</h1>   <h1>  </h1>   <h1> 2</h1>   <h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> /</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>   <h1> &lt;</h1>   <h1> /</h1>   <h1> v</h1>   <h1> a</h1>   <h1> l</h1>   <h1> u</h1>   <h1> e</h1>   <h1> s</h1>   <h1> &gt;</h1>

Hmm... doesn't seem like the model-binder code is working. :-(

Let me find some code which might help :-)

I found this other forum post about using Multiple Textstring values with Razor... quite a few code snippets in there:

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/21753-@foreach-value-of-Multiple-Textstring-uComponents-

Ive tried those as well!!

But here am using DynamicNode. Forgot to mention if a down make use of the Split * in the TextString it doesnt split up.

is working on a reply...
