    Extending the Multiple Textstring

    I'm looking to extend the Multiple Textstring DataType to include 3 checkboxes after each textstring.

    Any options on how to go about doing this?

    Hi Sean,

    It's a case of either; hacking the source-code (to make a new/derived data-type) or look at other options - like DataTypeGrid or Embedded Content?

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee

    I ended up replicating the Multiple Textstring layout and functionality with checkboxes in a custom datatype (Umbraco Usercontrol Wrapper).

    On a separate note, currently looking at using the Checkbox Tree datatype whereby I can select parent and child nodes. This is being saved as a CSV string. For instance,

    parent,child,child
    1122,1783,1782

    Scratching my head at the moment in trying to workout how to render the CSV string as a nested list. For instance,

    parent
    - child
    - child

    I'm looking to use XSLT as the rest of the site is built in XSLT. Any ideas?
