In the Umbraco content section i have a node which is a parent to several childnodes that are all the same document type. In order to find the one with the right content i have to browse through every single node and look at its contents. What i would like is to place a gridview datatype on a tab of the parent node. Clicking it would enable me to see the childnodes in a grid. Much like the view the membersection does provide. Clicking a single node would navigate me there.
Is there a package or datatype that could help me achieve this?
I would suggest that you add a custom data type for this, create a new tab in your parent document type that holds that read-only data type and displays all child nodes. What are you trying to display? Is the @nodeName always the same?
I would be happy to provide some examples on how to create a custom DT, but here is a great article to start by Nibble.
Sadly i'm a Level 1 Certified webdesigner so building it is not a real option for me. Thanks for the reply anyway.
In this case my client gets a new node for every reply under the page node. Since there is quite a lot of activity lately i was requested to sum up the nodes in a certain way. The member section shows the members in a grid. That's the kind of view i'm looking for. The nodes are all the same therefor a grid with a couple of columns shouldn't be a problem. I was hoping for a standard solution in a package of some sort.
The only other thing I can think of that would help, without building somehting yourself is Richard's COntent Maintenance package. This allows you to see the nodes of a particular document type in a gridview fashion. Perhaps that will come close for you.
Gridview to show multiple nodes?
Hi Guys,
