    Using textstring array data in another part of the UI

    Hi, I'm using textstring array in a V6.1.5 site to have editors enter a list of items.  I then want them to be able to pick multiple items in another page/node.  Is there a datatype or relationship protocol that can be used to output the textstring array contents as a set of checkboxes and labels or other such UI to perform the task I'm trying to complete or have I gone about it the wrong way from the start.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Craig

    Hi Craig,

    We don't have anything in uComponents that can use property data in an editor, (dropdowns, checkbox lists, etc).

    It's not impossible to develop it, just needs knowledge of custom data-types and the content structure. Obviously content structure is different for everyone, which is why we couldn't make it generic for uComponents.

    The general approach would be to have child-nodes to replace the TextstringArray property... then you could use XPath CheckboxList/DropDownList to display them the values on other nodes.

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    Thanks Lee. I was ok with a relation picker idea for nodes in the UI and ok with outputting the textstring array contents to a web page but not getting hold of it for the editor to operate on. I'll have to have another high level think. There's rarely only one way to skin a cat;)

    Cheers,

    Craig
