    Controlling the back-office UI in Contour with new field types?

    I'm trying to add some field types to Contour, and are struggling a bit with the back-office UI.

    Can I somehow control the number of input fields (and their labels) that are shown when creating a new field (I'm thinking Caption, Tooltip, Invalid Error Message, Default Value) ??

    Any good examples of doing this?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    We'll you'll always have a couple of fixed ones, but you can add addtional settings to your fieldtype

    Check this example:

    http://www.nibble.be/?p=89

            [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Culture", 
                description = "Enter the culture")]
            public string Culture { get; set; }

    Okay, thanks! I guess that helps me a bit.

    Is there any documentation to be found on the Setting attribute?

    I'm looking at a way to dictate the field shown in the back-office UI? Maybe the "control" parameter could be used for that? But what to put in it?

    Thanks
