From what I can see with this, i don't think its possible. I have done a little research and if anyone comes across this problem, swap the data type for one of the xml pickers in nuPickers which worked perfectly.

Hi Craig,

You can also use examine as source of your nuPicker. This works faster. And nuPickers allows you to template the items in the list, giving you a better editor experience.

I have written a article about replacing MNTP with nuPickers for content picking.

Brilliant.....Thanks Dave, will take a look at the article through lunch today.

Hello,

With a little hacking it's also possible. For the Hybrid Framework I set the start node of the media picker dynamically: https://github.com/jbreuer/Hybrid-Framework-for-Umbraco-v7-Best-Practises/blob/master/Umbraco.Extensions/Utilities/WebApiHandler.cs#L82.

I've also done the same for MNTP on a new project. I don't have the source code online yet, but I'll add it to the Hybrid Framework later.

Thanks Jeroen,

I've seen the demonstration you done on the Hybrid Framework, so will take a look at lunch today.  Really appreciate the feedback from both.

Thanks

Here is a little code snippet that I'm using to set the MNTP start node with the WebApiHandler:

string startNode = "{'type': 'content','id': " + contentOverride.Value + "}";

//Set the start node id.
if (mntp.Config.ContainsKey(contentOverride.ConfigAlias))
{
    mntp.Config[contentOverride.ConfigAlias] = JObject.Parse(startNode);
}
else
{
    mntp.Config.Add(contentOverride.ConfigAlias, JObject.Parse(startNode));
}

It works a little different from the media picker start node because the media picker start node value is a single value and for MNTP it's JSON.

Thanks Jeroen, going to look at the full thread at lunch today.....again really appreciate the time you've both taken.
