    Troubles with Multinode Treepicker

    Hi,

    I need a Contentpicker to select one item from a certain documenttype.
    Because i can't predefine the documenttype in a Content picker, i'm trying to use the Multinode Treepicker.

    Using Umbraco 7.1.4 there are 2 major problems with it:

    1. The Max number of Items is set to 1, but i still can select unlimited items
    2. When a documentType has his childs rendered as Listview, the childs are not visible to select.
    Are other people facing the same issues and do they have solutions?
    Can i use antoher data type to achieve the same?

    Hi Rubinho,

    1. I have tried to set a Max number of items to 1 and Minium items to -1, and then I only can select one item, but if I set to 3 for example, then I can select more than three items, but when the user try to save the page he or she will get an warning: You can only have 3 items selected, and therefor page can´t be save, before the user only have picked three items. So for me it works like it should
    2. Yes there is a issue with the Multinode Treepicker using the list view at the moment. You can wote for the issue here: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4381

    I can´t think of any alternative data type right now for picking one item of a predefine the documenttype  if you can´t get the .Multinode Treepicker working.

    I am using the Umbraco 7.1.4 assemply: 1.0.5261.2812

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi,

    I wonder if I can suggest an appropriate picker in nuPickers ?

    The Lucene and Xml ones can easily be configured to use content items of a particular document-type, and besides the dropdown and radiobutton pickers, the typeahead and prefetch list pickers can also be configured to only allow one item to be selected (and all work with list view).

    HTH,

    Hendy

    Thanks Dennis and Hendy,

    1. You're correct, this way i can only choose 1
    2. Have to wait some more time on a solution for this

    Because of this, i tried Hendy's solution by using the nuPickers, and this works. I will continue using the nuPicker in this situation.
    The nuPicker seems as a good replacement for uComponents in V7.

    Many thx,
    Rubinho
