I think it would be good to extend the package to able to select multiple nodes.
I tried to extend it but facing an issue. I rendered a checkbox list instead of dropdown to select a child. And the issue is that I am not sure what should be the id of the checkboxes so that the checked items are bound back to the model so that the values are stored in database.
I think this could be a good add on as I could not locate such add as of now in Umbraco 5.
I am also thinking about a multiple node selector and wondering whether to wait for the Multi Node Tree Picker(MNTP) that Shannon Deminick is planning to implement
My thoughts on Warrens Child Content Picker would be to use a ListBox, but I haven't attempted it yet
Any updates on MNTP or hints on how to extend this one from Warren would be greatly received
I just want to let you know that there is an announced session for CG12 about MNTP for Umbraco 5 - So I have a feeling that a MNTP for v5 will be released after CG12 :)
Is there any way I can get source code, I don't mind having to build the binary myself and deploying the razor view in to my views
I pretty much tried that already with Warren Buckelys child editor but the GetSerialzedValue() only saves one hive id when I need multiple from a multi select ListBox
Or if there is an override for Warrens then that would be cool
I have a project that requires the ability to arbitrarily select multiple nodes to be rendered on CurrentPage
Yes, you are right I have hardcoded "caseStudy" for doctype alias since I developed this for a project. I will remove this and upload it again.
About missing Razor view, my understanding is view is embedded into the dll, so I think it would be throwing null exception because of the caseStudy. But I will check it out and upload it after making it a generic control.

Hi Guys,
I have developed sample for Multi-content picker. It lets user to select multiple nodes in a listbox.
I have uploaded the package at NuGet. Here is the link for the package: https://nuget.org/packages/MultiContentPicker.Umbraco.PropertyEditor/1.0.0
Please feel free to post me a message if anybody face any issue with this.
Thanks for taking the time
But it throws a null exception after I install and try to make content page using the DocType containing the MultiContentPicker
I had a quick look and I think the Razor View is missing from the package :)
scratch that you have caseStudy hard wired in your doctype alias
Hi Steve,
Thanks for taking out time for trying this out.

Ok thanks Rahul
Hi
I have uploaded the updaed version of MultiContenPicker.
It can be found here: https://nuget.org/packages/MultiContentPicker.Umbraco.PropertyEditor/1.0.1
Hi Rahul,
Is this an open source package? I want to use it but need to restrict it to a particular document type which I can't do from the settings page.
If you have the code up on codeplex or github I can make some changes to it.
Cheers,
Marko
Hi Marko,
Please give me your E-mail Id so that I can send you the source code.
Thanks Rahul
