    How to get document culture in controller to use in grid when using split view

    Hi all.

    How do i get the document i am currently editing culture in an angular property controller?

    I have created a custom property controller that are used in the grid, inserted with DocTypeGridEditor in the package.manifest like this:

    {
  "propertyEditors": [
    {
      "alias": "Custom.PropertyEditor.Culture",
      "name": "Readonly Culture",
      "icon": "icon-readonly color-red",
      "editor": {
        "view": "~/App_Plugins/CustomPlugin/propertyEditors/readonlyCulture/readonlyCulture.html"
      }
    }
  ],
  "gridEditors": [
    {
      "name": "List",
      "alias": "Custom.GridEditors.List",
      "view": "/App_Plugins/DocTypeGridEditor/Views/doctypegrideditor.html",
      "render": "/App_Plugins/DocTypeGridEditor/Render/DocTypeGridEditor.cshtml",
      "icon": "icon-bulleted-list color-green",
      "config": {
        "allowedDocTypes": [ "ListView" ],
        "nameTemplate": "",
        "enablePreview": true,
        "overlaySize": "small",
        "viewPath": "/Views/Partials/DocTypeGridEditor/",
        "previewViewPath": "/Views/Partials/DocTypeGridEditor/Previews/",
        "previewCssFilePath": "",
        "previewJsFilePath": ""
      }
    }
  ],
  "javascript": [
    "~/App_Plugins/CustomPlugin/propertyEditors/readonlyCulture/readonlyCulture.js"
  ]
}

    My controller looks like this:

    (function () {
    "use strict";

    function readonlyCulture($scope, $routeParams) {

        $scope.model.value = $routeParams.cculture || $routeParams.mculture;   
    }

    angular.module("umbraco").controller("Custom.ReadonlyCulture.EditorController", readonlyCulture);
})();

    There is a $routeParams.mculture and a $routeParams.cculture.

    When i am editing the main language i am only getting mculture as expected.

    And when i change to another language i am getting the cculture as expected.

    But when i am using splitview, i get am getting the same result on both documents.

    Example:

    URL: http://localhost:64556/umbraco/#/content/content/edit/1056?mculture=da-DK&cculture=en-US

    Split View: Left -> en-US. Right: da-DK enter image description here

    When i access the grid on both documents i am getting mculture=da-DK and cculture=en-US and can no longer tell the difference, because i do not know which one i am editing.

    I hope someone know what to do :)

    Hello!

    First things first, the answer is:

    $scope.model.culture

    I'm on Umbraco 8.8.0, if that makes a difference, and it works both when changing the editor language and opening split view in my experience, and I tested it with the contentResource like this:

    contentResource.getChildren(nodeId, { cultureName: $scope.model.culture })

    I have to tell you, I stumbled upon your question having the same problem with split view, and I thought I had finally found the solution, and I was very distraught that no one had answered you yet. So I dived into the angular.directives.js file of Umbraco to try and see how the variant editors work, and I got lucky!

    In version 8.7.0 the $scope.model.culture is always null.

    The property exists but is just null.

    I am gonna try to upgrade to 8.8.0 now and see if it changes anything.

    I now upgraded to 8.8.0 and the $scope.model.culture is still null.

    Its because i use it in a property inside a DocTypeGridEditor element in the Grid.

    When i use it on a property directly on the document it works.

    Hi, that could be a bug with DTGE, I suppose. I tested it in a standard grid editor controller.

    Does it work in your property editor outside of DTGE?

    Yes it works directly on a property.

    So i asked the same question to DTGE here https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/doc-type-grid-editor/doc-type-grid-editor-feedback//103967-how-to-get-culture-in-doctypegrideditor
