    Anyway to create a single media picker in Umbraco 7?

    Hi!

    I need a way for my editors to select a single image from the media library.

    I have noticed that there is this checkbox for the Media Picker-property-editor that you could leave unchecked if your creating a new data type,

    however.. this checkbox doesnt seem to work (as in.. it doesnt matter if you check it or not.. the editor can still pick multiple medias, can anyone confirm that as well?)

    So.. anyone that has figured out a way of doing this?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi lnx51

    I just tested the media picker and the multiple media picker in version 7.1RC and they're working as expected. The ordinary media picker let's you choose 1 single image and the multiple media picker let's you select multiple images.

    Don't know if it may have been an issue reported for earlier versions perhaps.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Yes. You are right that the 'new' media picker only supports multiple selections. Even if the select multiple selections checkbox is unchecked it is still possible to select multiple media files. But there is another mediapicker which is the legacy media picker. This one does support the single selection. It just feels not right to use a legacy property editor. But it is working for now.

    Side effect in using the legacy media picker is that the log gives you this warning:

    WARN  Umbraco.Core.PropertyEditors.LegacyPropertyEditorIdToAliasConverter - [Thread 16] A legacy GUID id was generated for property editor Umbraco.MultipleMediaPicker. This occurs when the legacy APIs are used and done to attempt to maintain backwards compatibility. Consider upgrading all code to use the new Services APIs instead to avoid any potential issues.
