Hi David,

translation manager is really just concerned with how the JSON is stored for your property.

So based on your config i would expect the JSON for the property to look something like.

{ 
    "text", "some text value",
     "subText", "a sub text value"
}

but I suspect you're values are stored in an array?

so more like

[ 
   { "text", "first text value", "subText", "sub text" }, 
   { "text", "secondText", "subText", "subtext}
]

the custom mapper that uses the config doesn't support arrays at the moment (not 100% sure the best way it could).

However, you can write your own mapper which would receive the JSON values from the grid and return the TranslationValue to Translation Manager.

this is the code for the custom value mapper : https://gist.github.com/KevinJump/a7754bb20f93b1e9934a8cbfb1bb9203

Which is close to what you want (you wouldn't need to read things from config files and could work through the json in the format you know it is in)

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the reply, I have created a copy of the custom value mapper and hardcoded in the editor alias for a test example below.

public override string[] Editors => new[] { "listModule" };

I have set a breakpoint on the first line of GetSourceValue and GetTargetValue

but when debugging it is not hitting either of these methods.

My Manifest for the grid editor is the following:

{
     gridEditors:[
     {
        alias:"listModule",
        name: "List Module",
        view: "~/App_Plugins/ListModule/ListEditor.html",
        icon: "icon-bulleted-list" }
     ],
     javascript: [ "~/app_plugins/ListModule/ListController.js" ]
}

Custom Value Mapper:

 public TranslationValue GetSourceValue(string displayName,
   string propertyTypeAlias,
   object value,
   CultureInfoView culture)
   {
            if (value == null) return null;

           continue......
   }


public object GetTargetValue(
 string propertyTypeAlias,
 object sourceValue,
 TranslationValue values,
 CultureInfoView sourceCulture,
 CultureInfoView targetCulture)
 {
       if (sourceValue == null) return null;

       continue.......
 }

any ideas why this isnt hitting the breakpoint? I presume I am missing some configuration

Cheers

Cheers Kevin, that worked perfectly
