    I want to develop a taxonomy module

    Hello everyone!

    I want to develop a taxonomy module for our project, since I could not find a ready-made counterpart.

    The module will be of a tree of elements with any number of levels.

    For example:

    1) Locations (group):

    Europe:

    Austria

    Belgium

    ...

    North America:

    USA

    Canada

                    ...

    ...

    2) Languages (group):

    Arabic

    Bengali

    Cantonese

    ....

    How can I better organize this module?

    I want:

    1. Control module structure of the CMS, but also I should be able to get the data in the code .cs (where and how to store the structure?)

    2. I need a new Data Type, in which I will be able to choose a group (Locations or Languages) as well as to specify whether it is multiselect. (I already have experience in creating its Data Type, but I do not know where and how to store and how to organize the structure of group selection.)

    3. When I create a new page that hosts the Data Type, I should be able to show the user a tree structure (Europe:Austria,Belgium,...  North America:USA, Canada ), as well as give an opportunity to choose one or more elements.

    I will be glad of any information, how to write a module.

    Thanks.

    Hi Vitaly,

    If you are using Umbraco 4 or Umbraco 6, you should take a look at this new package delveoped by Morten Bock called Taxonomy Picker https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/taxonomypicker.

    And if you are using Umbraco 7, I think you need to build your own property editor, but maybe you can get some inspiration from Morten´s package.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    I use umbraco 7.2

    I saw this plugin to 6.x and was surprised that there is nothing similar to 7.x.

    Thank you.

    Ask additional questions:

    1. Better to create a custom section (Taxonomy like Content, Media, Setting) and to keep the whole structure in a custom table or create a Property Editor and save the entire structure as a JSON object?

    2. If I choose custom table, I can easily get all the structure using an SQL query. Can I get a JSON object from a Property Editor, knowing his name?

    3. How to make a similar list in the right window, but for my data?

    Hi Vitaly,

    You could take a look at the Categorisation package?

    https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/categorisation-for-umbraco

    I believe it was built for Umbraco v4/v6, but the source-code is available on the project page - if you wanted to use that as a starting point?

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks, I will look at how this plugin.

    But you do understand that a lot has changed in version 7, especially working with the UI.

    Thanks
