    Pick content of specific doctypes in grid

    Hi

    Pretty new to Umbraco but learning it fast :)

    For some specific doctypes I am using the grid property. For some parts of the grid I want to limit the user to insert content, which the user basically should be able to pick using the content picker. But I need this picker to be limited to a specific doctype.

    I have tried to setup this thingy http://goo.gl/rp8sJ1 , and it works, but I really don't like the fact that you have to search to be able to see content http://cl.ly/141V2t2x2x3X

    Any suggestions or links.. or maybe even finished packages?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    You could try the Multinode Treepicker. It's a standerd property editor in Umbraco 7. Usually it's used for selecting multiple doctypes, but you could also limit it to only select 1. It also has an allowed doctypes option. See the "Filter out items with type" field. There you can enter the the allowed doctypes aliases.

    Documentation: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/multinode-treepicker

    So just create a new datatype.

    Hi

    No issues in creating the new datatype and limiting it to my specified childnodes, but as I need to be able to use this datatype in my grid, then I guess I will have to create a macro to use this datatype. But, when creating a macro I can only create a parameter of the default umbraco types and not the newly created datatype. What am I not seeing here?

    Thanks

    Hi

    I have already tried the "Doc Type Grid Editor", but it simply gives the user an option to CREATE an item in the grid. I want the user to be able to PICK an item.

    I will have a look at LE Blender.

    Thanks

    Hi again

    So Le Blender didn't do the trick as well. The fact is, that I need to filter / set a specific doctype for the user to chose elements from. And as far as I can see after installing, then Le Blender doesn't support this.

    Thanks
