    Suggestion for flexible rendering

    Thanks! Cool package.

    I would love to be able to control how to display the multitdata rows in Umbraco.

    • The simple: How about adding an option til select which field(s) to display in Umbraco.
    • The cool and advanced: How about being able to specify which xslt file you want to use for rendering .-)

    Best

    Jesper

    Hi Jesper,

    I suggest 3rd option (good enough): use advanced string.format - http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/multitype-datatype/feedback-and-feature-requests/20659-Formating-item-text

    I'm not sure about xslt with all razor hype ...

    But for me xslt is nice option too :-)

    Hi Jesper,

    Thanks for the ideas I really like the cool and advanced xslt idea.

    When I started making the DataEditor control it took me ages to decide on a way to display the data. If I have some time this weekend I will try and do it.

    @Petr - I also like the idea of the advanced string.format and I'm going to use it in another package for field substitution but I think since the data is in xml it makes sense to use xslt to display it.

    Thanks again.
    Ben

    Hi all,

    +1 for the XSLT option - would be absolutely killer!!!

    Would require one to adhere to some "groundrules" regarding the UI, but definitely a great way to tailor the last 20% for a client...

    Hi All,

    I have just released v1.1 which now gives you control over the text in each row of the MultiType in the Content section.

    The xslt used is selectable in each MultiType.

    If you want to display it differently then create a new Xslt with Macro and in the xslt create params for Name, Alias, Value and SortOrder.

    Thanks
    Ben
