    Correct data storage

    Developing Umbraco 7 packages
    Umbraco 7

    Hi everyone.

    I am developing a Taxonomy module for umbraco v 7.2.

    When creating Taxonomy Data Type, I keep a tree structure which has a guid and name.

    When I place this type in the Document Type and create pages based on this Document Type, I can save selected items in several ways:

    1. Save only the giud of the selected item.

    2. Save object in which there are giud and name

    Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

    Which way is more correct?

    Thanks.

    I would store only the guid. If you also store the name you will need something to update all documents where it is used when somebody changes the name of the item.

    Hi Dave.

    Thanks for the answer.

    All other information will have to get through DataTypeService?

    Thanks

    You don't need the datatypeservice. This is for retreiving the information of the configured datatype in Umbraco.

    I don't quite understand.

    If we save only the guid, where developer will receive the data associated with that guid value (name)?
