So the contextpicker is an setting on your custom fieldtype, don't think that it fully supported at the moment, will take a look

Hi Tim,

Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes the content picker is a setting on the custom fieldtype, everything works except the edit field option.

I was just guessing at the editor setup above and was wondering if I should be using the content picker from the Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers namespace for the editor. The issue I'm having there is trying to get it output as some kind of WebControl as I cant embed that picker in a panel or return it directly in the getter.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Simon

Looking into this today so more details will folow shortly

Thought it was a bug but it is just not supported atm so will need some work to support the content picker, will do the updates this week

Hello Tim,

We are using version 3.0.9 and we have the same issue. Everything works great, except for the edit button that causes the javascript exception. Could you please look in to this? Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,

Kees de Wit

Here is the bug report for this issue: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/CON-328

Ok assigned it to the next maintenance release so a fix should be part of the 3.0.10 release

Many thanks! When do you plan to release the 3.0.10?

1 May or sooner

Is there any way (maybe if we pay some money) to get this fixed earlier?

Soonest I can look is Monday so more news will follow then, hope it's an easy fix 

Monday would be great. We just bought the license. Let's hope it's a minor fix.

Yup will keep you posted on the progress

Hmm just tested and don't get the bug, could you tell me what Umbraco version you are running

We are using Umbraco v6.0.3 (Assembly version: 1.0.4836.20227) with contour 3.0.9

Steps to reproduce:

• Add new form to contour
• Add field with content picker setting
• Choose content for picker
• Click add field button
• Click edit icon
• Javascipt error

I can also send the source code of the field that contains the content picker setting or any other sourcecode if that will help.

Ok thanks will try with that version

Ok can reproduce the bug if I'm using Umbraco 6.0.3

Hi Tim,

Just to muddy the waters we are using Umbraco 4.11.4 and Contour 3.0.9 but its the same steps as Kees to reproduce the issue and I can also provice source for the fieldtype if that will help.

Ok thanks for the extra details, looking into a fix now

Ok looks like it's due to some changes made in the core Umbraco content picker, fix eta today/tomorrow

Almost there, just need to do some additional tests but you can expect a fix later today

Great news! I've been waiting for this all day ;)

Ok looks good could you try your custom fieldtype with a 3.0.10 install

nightly.umbraco.org/.../

If that works you can upgrade 

our.umbraco.org/.../Upgrade

Hi Tim,

I updated a clone of my production site and I now when I add my custom fieldtype I get a javascript error and the field fails to show the content picker in additional settings. On previously created fields I get the same error when trying to edit.

Here are some details from an inital look

Its falling over when it hits the ClearPickerValue function with the error above. In the snippet above I'm dumping out the selected node and then the picker id after you have finished stripping out certain strings just before it trys;

Umbraco.Controls.TreePicker.inst[pickerClientId].ClearSelection();

I've checked and double checked my deployment of the wip patch and can't see anything I've missed.

Hope that helps a little.

Simon

Thanks for the details Simon, will test on the umbraco version you are running, 4.11.4 right?

Yup,

Thanks for the fast reply :)

@Kees any chance you can also try to see if your issue has been resolved on umbraco 6 

I'm temporarily on another project with priority so I can test this tomorrow morning. First thing tommorow.

@Kees ok thanks, but I'm pretty sure the content picker is working it's the content picker with xpath that is still giving issues

@Simon just tested and contentpickerwithxpath is also working in my setup 

Any chance you can share the code of your custom fieldtype?

Sure,

Its a bit of a mash up of bits I've found in the forum and in examples on contour.contrib so as I think I said right at the beginning of this thread I have no idea if I am calling the right picker types in here.

The relevent bits are

[Setting("Html To Show", prevalues = "",
           description = "HTML content to be displayed",
           control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers.Content")] 
        public string NodeToShow { get; set; }

and the editor is

private ContentPickerWithXpathOption cc = new ContentPickerWithXpathOption();
 
        /// 
        /// Gets or sets Editor
        /// 
        /// 
        public override System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl Editor
        {
            get
            {
                cc.ShowXPath = false;
                cc.ID = "cc_" + this.Id;
 
                if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(NodeToShow)) cc.Value = NodeToShow;
                return cc;
            }
            set
            {
                base.Editor = value;
            }
        }

I have emailed you the entire class file to your umbraco.dk address.

Ok found and fixed the issue, new build is up, so upgrade to the latest 3.0.10 WIP http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/3.0.10%20WIP/ make sure to clear browser cache since it involves a couple of js updates

That one worked a treat, you just made quite a few people here very happy.

Thanks for all your time on this one :)

Simon

Sweet, thanks for confirming!

I'm also glad to confirm that this fix works. Thank you very very much!

Great, thanks for confirming :)

Hi guys!

It looks like that I have a related issue with 3.0.18.

I've set up Umbraco 7 release and Contour 3.0.18 from http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/3.0.18/.

Everything works well until I started to use Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers.Content as control for my porperty from Additional settings, here is code:

[Setting("ParentNode", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers.Content", description = "Enter the parent node for prevalues")]

public string ParentNode { get; set; }

For example if I use Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers.DocumentType it works well.

The console throws exception of umbracoforms.js: 

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'inst' of undefined

 Am I doing something wrong?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I just hit this issue with Contour v3.0.21 on Umbraco 7.1.5

This happens when one of my Settings for a custom type is set to Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSettings.Pickers.Content.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'inst' of undefined

Simple types are fine.

Any help on this one Tim would be ace.

I am having the same issue as Peter

is working on a reply...
