    Checkboxlist - Get all values available not just set values.

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 7

    I want to make a list of tags, which can be chosen from the checkboxlist, so when i create a page, i can then select which tags is associated to the page.

    But i also want to be able to display all available tags in the list, which is created in that datatype "checkboxlist", so not just the ones that have been chosen.

    It is so i can display them on a page, so i can search with the tags.

    But how can i manage this ?

    Hi Andre

    You can get all prevalues of datatype with this code:

    var dataType = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetDataTypeDefinitionByName("My Datatype Name");
var preValuesFromDataType = library.GetPreValues(dataType.Id);

    Thanks,

    Alex

    i added your code to my controller, but when i try to write it out in my view, through my model, with this: 

    @foreach (var item in Model.AllTags.)
    {
          <td><a href="#">@item</a></td>
    }

    It says item is an object ? and it doesn't appear to hold any of the values i have added.

    code from my controller:

    var dataType = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetDataTypeDefinitionByName("tags");
            var preValuesFromDataType = library.GetPreValues(dataType.Id);

            model.AllTags = preValuesFromDataType;

    Hi Andre

    Try this code:

    @{
    var dataType = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetDataTypeDefinitionByName("tags");
    var preValues = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetPreValuesCollectionByDataTypeId(dataType.Id).PreValuesAsDictionary.Select(x => x.Value).ToList();

    var allTags = preValues;
}
@foreach (var item in allTags)
{
    <td><a href="@item.Value">@item.Value</a></td>
}

    I tried your new code, but all i get is a "default" value, and nothing else.

    In umbraco it looks like this:

    This is in umbraco

    but all it writes out are "default".

    Checkbox in umbraco backend

    on the image you can see the values i have saved in the "tags" datatype.

    Check please here - .GetDataTypeDefinitionByName("tags");

    tags - it should be the name of your datatype

    Datatype setup:

    This is the datatype And the doctype setup: Doctype setup

    So i should write "Article Tags" instead of tags ?
