This probably doesn't work. DAMP uses the same tree which is used in MNTP (I copied some parts of it) and I once tested that with a custom content tree (the one from Favorite Content) and that didn't work either. However I did found a small workaround. Have a look at this issue: http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/workitem/13348
Thanks for your quick response(s) .. I'm thinking - you mention that you've tried the workaround and it worked? I'm not completly sure how to achieve the same - is it:
* grab damp source * grab publicmedieatree binaries * let damp inherit from publicmediatree custom app tree
Should also work for DAMP 1.0, but DAMP 2.0 also works on 4.7.0 :). Upgrading might be better because DAMP 2.0 is a lot more user friendly. You can just install DAMP 2.0 and everything should work.
Hmm that's strange. That's exactly what you're supposed to do. At least that's what I did to get MNTP working with Favorite Content. Maybe we need to ask the developer of PublicMediaTree if we need to do something extra.
Not really something I can think of. The project we initially created the package for uses MNTP, and it works with the custom tree just out of the box (MNTP does show the public folder). Although the project was upgraded to 4.7.1 (originally 4.5.2) it still uses uComponents v1.0, so perhaps something has changed in the next version of uComponents. I will setup the packages on a clean install and look for a solution, keep u posted.
This seems to work. Will do a bit more testing but as of now the DAMP media picker works with the Public Media Tree. Niiiice. One happy day. Jeroen - are you interested in publishing an unofficial "DAMP for PublicMediaTree" compatible with Umbraco 4.7.0 Framework 4?
Great to hear that Jesper! You might want to test against permissions though, e.g. make sure a non privileged user cannot upload any files to the public tree when the create option has been enabled on DAMP.
Not sure if its possible but I think it would be better if DAMP would either allow you to configure a custom tree (e.g. in web.config, having the DigibizMediaTree there as a default, or to make the picker smart enough to recognize custom trees in the DB.
Glad you got it working :). Which version of DAMP did you update? If I'm going to release it I only want to do it for DAMP 2.0 since it's mucht better than DAMP 1.0 and also has a couple of important bug fixes.
Not sure if I would release it as a complete package. If I add the modified dll files as zip to the package files tab on the project page that should also be enough. Just copy over the files and you have a version which works with the public media tree (which only works if that package is installed).
I updated V1. No time for installing a v2 and test. I think you'r right about not releasing it as a package. Just let the dlls be avail for download. or not :-)
For now I'm not going to put it on the project page because I don't support DAMP 1.0 anymore. If people want to use DAMP with the public media tree they can just read this topic :). If someone will create it for DAMP 2.0 I'll put those dll files on the project page.
DAMP and publicmedieaTree incompatible?
Hi,
I've tried using your package with DAMP new media picker. It doesnt find your public folder? Any thoughs?

Have you done it already?

Hi Jesper,
That's exactly what I did, but than for MNTP with Favorite Content and it worked :). Been a while since I did it, but that should to the trick.
Jeroen
Thanks Jeroen. I'll just see if I can get my head around that. You might consider having a official DAMP version for Publicmediatree :-)
Shoot .. Client is running Umbraco 4.7.0 and DAMP 1.0
I found source for v1 release but is it worth trying?

Should also work for DAMP 1.0, but DAMP 2.0 also works on 4.7.0 :). Upgrading might be better because DAMP 2.0 is a lot more user friendly. You can just install DAMP 2.0 and everything should work.

Hi Jeroen,
I did it all but doesnt work. Dont know if I'm close or not.
Opened DAMP source added references to the missing umbraco dlls
Updated to Framework 4
Updated 1 line :
public class DigibizMediaTree : TheseDays.Umbraco.Media.PublicMediaTree.PublicMediaTree
Compiled with success
Copied only the two dlls DigibizAdvancedMediaPicker.dll and DigibizTree.dll
Restarted Webapp
Logged in with a user restricted to part of media tree
DAMP media picker doesnt show Public in the dialog?

Thanks Jeroen. I just twittet Lennart.

Was able to repro with 4.7.1.1 & uComponents v3.
The weird thing is that I can also repro with 4.5.2 & uComponents v1.. which I thought would work considering its works fine on our website.
I'm pretty sure the code is packaged up correctly, so I'm guessing something may be different in the tree config in the db. Comparing those right now.
It totally slipped my mind but turns out we also had to make changes to MNTP (and recompile) to make it work with our custom tree.
What we did is update the data editor so it would not use its internal "FilteredMediaTree":
http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/c1cf9775e220#uComponents.Core%2fDataTypes%2fMultiNodeTreePicker%2fMNTP_DataEditor.cs
Where were updated the tree type to render:
Pretty hacky though, but I have no idea how else to make the pickers compatible with custom trees.
Jesper maybe you can try that too. In DAMP the data editor uses the DigibizMediaTree: http://damp.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/81602#1765758. Maybe if you change that it will work.
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); //Add the js/css required. this.AddAllDAMPClientDependencies(); TreePickerControl.TreeType = "DigibizMediaTree"; TreePickerControl.App = "media"; }Jeroen
Thanks guys!
This seems to work. Will do a bit more testing but as of now the DAMP media picker works with the Public Media Tree. Niiiice. One happy day.
