Switcher

Switcher is a simple property editor that works as an alternative to the core true/false datatype.

It can be used for different kinds of true/false values e.g. on/off, active/deactive or enabled/disabled and gives a more visual feedback to the content editor. Furthermore it is great for content editors, who edit content from tablets, where the switch-button is touch friendly.

For labels you can use static values or localized values. To use localized values you refer to keys in language files in /Umbraco/Config/Lang/. You can use existing keys or define a new area or place the keys under an existing area.

en.xml:

<area alias="switcher">
    <key alias="enabled">Enabled</key>
    <key alias="disabled">Disabled</key>
</area>

da.xml:

<area alias="switcher">
    <key alias="enabled">Aktiv</key>
    <key alias="disabled">Inaktiv</key>
</area>

In the configuration of the datatype you then enter this format {{area_key}}:

On-label text: {{switcher_enabled}} 

Off-label text: {{switcher_disabled}}
