    Use existing value converter with custom property editor ?

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 7

    I made a custom property editor that returns crop data in JSON format, exactly like the image cropper does. I read about value converters but can't figure out how exactly I can tell Umbraco to return the data in the form of ImageCropDataSet, like the imagecropper does. (So I can use the property in razor as if it was an image cropper, Model.croppedImage.Src for example)

    I tried going through the code to see how Umbraco does this, but I can't apply this to my custom property editor.

    Thanks in advance !

    I figured it out, I made a class that inherited from the ImageCropperValueConverter and made some changes

    [PropertyValueType(typeof(ImageCropDataSet))]
public class CustomImageCropper : ImageCropperValueConverter
{
    public override bool IsConverter(PublishedPropertyType propertyType)
    {
        return propertyType.PropertyEditorAlias == "CustomImageCropper";
    }
}
