    core property editors.. overriding fromEditor and toEditor

    I see that we can override the propertyValueConvertors in umbraco 8... by removing and registering an alternative.. https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/property-editors/value-converters

    Is there a corresponding technique to override the corresponding PropertyEditor : DataEditor?

    such as... https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/v8/contrib/src/Umbraco.Web/PropertyEditors/GridPropertyEditor.cs

    I'd like to extend the fromEditor/toEditor for our specific needs.

    ta.

    Hi Mike,

    I would also like to extend the fromEditor to dynamicly set the pasted image folder for the grid rte. Did you find a solution for this?

    Best regards,,

    I looked for information in Google, but my attempts were not crowned with results :(

    Very late to the party with this one, but I recently wanted to create a custom view for a Textbox property editor (late-ish into a project so didn't want to go through and change the property editor to a custom one). This was done in v10, but the idea is the same.

    First make your new property editor, changing the setup that points to the new view:

    using Umbraco.Cms.Core;
    using Umbraco.Cms.Core.IO;
    using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors;
    
    namespace Something.PropertyEditors
    {
        [DataEditor(
            Constants.PropertyEditors.Aliases.TextBox,
            EditorType.PropertyValue | EditorType.MacroParameter,
            "Textbox",
            "/custom_backoffice/views/propertyeditors/customtextbox/customtextbox.html", // This is the path to the view, 
            Group = Constants.PropertyEditors.Groups.Common,
            ValueEditorIsReusable = true)]
        public class CustomTextboxPropertyEditor : TextboxPropertyEditor
        {
            public CustomTextboxPropertyEditor(IDataValueEditorFactory dataValueEditorFactory, IIOHelper ioHelper) : base(dataValueEditorFactory, ioHelper)
            {
            }
        }
    }
    

    Then add your custom view to /wwwroot/custom_backoffice/views/propertyeditors/customtextbox/customtextbox.html. This can be whatever you want but as I am overriding the core Textbox I used that as a base (found here)

    Lastly remove the core property editor from the collection (otherwise Umbraco will have 2 TextboxPropertyEditors referenced and throw a runtime error when it comes to rendering). You can do this in a composer:

    using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Composing;
    using Umbraco.Cms.Core.DependencyInjection;
    using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors;
    
    public class CoreComposers : IComposer
    {
        public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
        {
            builder.DataEditors().Exclude<TextboxPropertyEditor>();
        }
    }
