    nuPickers.JsonDropDownPicker question

    Hi everyone,

    Just doing my first umbaco 7 project and want to use the new nuPickers.JsonDropDownPicker.

    I have set it up to call ~/umbraco/Surface/DataTypeSurface/GetProductFilters

    This succesfully calls my function

     

     [HttpGet]
            [NotChildAction]
            public JsonResult GetProductFilters()
            {
                var Items = new List();

                Items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("value.default"), Value = "" });
                Items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("value.price"), Value = "price" });

                return Json(Items);
            }
    
    
    

     

    but nothing is returned in the dropdown in the document where I have placed  this datatype.  Can't seem to find any documentation on what format the Json needs to be in or a good example of how this works, has anyone succesfully used this datatype in umbraco 7 and can give me some quick pointers?

    thanks

    I think you need to allow a get request to your action when you are returning json.

    return Json(Items, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)

    Hi James,

    Do you have the following for your data-type configuration ?

    • Url: ~/umbraco/Surface/DataTypeSurface/GetProductFilters
    • JSONPath: $..*
    • Key JSONPath: Value
    • Label JSONPath: Text
    Just tried your surface controller method with Dave's fix and all seems to be working...
    (Hoping to find some time soon to update the nuPicker GitHub wiki documentation)
