Hi Mike,

There's a ticket in the issue tracker for this... Go up-vote it! :-)

Cheers,

Ah so there is I've upvoted, and I had added another issue earlier.. (will get listed as duplicate soon I don't doubt)

Will def upvote// only just realised that validation now stops you part completing a content node.. :-( not a breaking change but all my editors now complain ;-) I fill everything in but don't know the internal ref.. so now I have to start all over again.

blueprints was so much better from a segregation point of view.. searching contentTemplates doesn't find that issue and searching Content Templates just hits on all the standard templates and content issues.

Just looking at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Our.Umbraco.TemplatableGrid/0.9.0-alpha https://github.com/lars-erik/our.umbraco.templatablegrid/commits/master

along side https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/attackmonkey-grid-locker/

to see if that will satisfy my client more.. though having no access to nuget install due to firewall restrictions making that hard.. as not published on our :-) so trying to work out how to break apart the nugetpackage and manually add

I'd also seen http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10578

maybe this could be a token replacement of #default# in textstrings at least to remove those mandatory content things client side prior to first save/publish of the template?

Thought not sure where in the pipeline these tokens are replaced, so could still fall foul of the validation....

Also just noticed [7.7.4]..

http://localhost:55722/umbraco/#/settings/contentBlueprints/edit/1135

url is still Blueprints.. and the sourceCode too... ;-) bit of naming confusion there

deleteBlueprint: function (id) {
      return umbRequestHelper.resourcePromise(
        $http.post(
          umbRequestHelper.getApiUrl(
            "contentApiBaseUrl",
            "DeleteBlueprint",
            [{ id: id }])),
        'Failed to delete blueprint ' + id);
    },

wrote a bit of a hacky plugin.... esp that timeout! (only works for textstrings but could be extended?)

$(window).load(
        function () {
            // once the main view is loaded, inject the service
            angular.element('#umbracoMainPageBody').scope().$on('$viewContentLoaded', function () {
                //only run if in the content section and a blueprint
                if (location.hash.indexOf('&blueprintId=') > 0) {
                    // need to watch for a broadcast for editcontent controller loaded, rather than a timeout?
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        $('[ng-controller="Umbraco.PropertyEditors.textboxController"]>input').each(function (i, val) {
                            var $input = $(this);
                            // test if we start with $$
                            if (/^\$\$/i.test($input.val())) {
                                $input.val("");
                                $input.trigger('input'); // Use for Chrome/Firefox/Edge
                                $input.trigger('change'); // Use for Chrome/Firefox/Edge + IE11
                            }
                        });
                    }, 1500);                
                }           
            });
        }
    );

Found a better approach.. after seeing http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-2670#comment=67-25903

using System;

    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel += (sender, e) =>
            {
                // we are creating from a blueprint so reset the values indicated
                // NB actual editing of contenttemplates/blueprints doesn't seem to utilise the SendingContentModel so is unaffected
                if (e.Model.IsBlueprint)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        var clearFromBlueprintProperty = e.Model.Properties.Where(p => p.Alias == "clearFromBlueprint").FirstOrDefault();

                        if (clearFromBlueprintProperty != null)
                        {
                            foreach (var prop in (clearFromBlueprintProperty.Value as string).Split(','))
                            {
                                var property = e.Model.Properties.Where(p => p.Alias == prop).FirstOrDefault();
                                if (property != null)
                                {
                                    property.Value = null;
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    catch { };
                }                
            };
        }
    }
}

prob also extend to hide property/tab clearFromBlueprint for all but the contenttemplate editing... Could also do with a propertyeditor to multi select the available nodes from that specific doctype, don't suppose you have one tucked away from your uComponents days? nuPickers doesn't seem to have a property picker :-)

We need Content templates for Nested Content and Stacked Content!

is working on a reply...
