I'm doing my first U7 site and a couple of questions. I've got a content picker on a media type.
Is the best way to have a "multiple" content picker to use Archetype with the default content picker? Is there some way to limit the picker to a document type or a node not in root?
I guess the right answer to your question is "It depends..."...
If you need a lot of pickers, then yes that sounds right to me then.
The default content picker can't be configured to select multiple nodes but that's what the multinode treepicker datatype is there for :)
It can be configured to have a specific start node in either media or content and it can be setup to only allow certain document types to be selected etc.
You can create an instance of it by going to Developer and choose "Create". In the dropdown list you can choose the multinode treepicker and configure it to suit your needs.

Hi Johan,
I totally agree with Jan, there is documentation and code samples for the multi node tree picker here
