    WidgetGrid doesn't see my preconfigured MNTP

    Hi,

    I'm having problems getting the WidgetGrid datatype to "pick up" my pre-configured MNTP datatypes.

    The "Picker data type" shows only the generic "Content Picker".

    I'm using Umbraco 4.9.0 and and uComponents 5.0.0 - I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the MNTP being labeled as "uComponents-Legacy: Multi-Node Tree Picker" in that setup?

    Hey Chriztian,

    It currently only supports the built in MNTP that is part of core from 4.8+ so won't work with the one that came in uComponents. It also will only show pickers that are configured for content rather than media, so that's worth checking also.

    Thanks Matt, I figured it was something like that... OK, will have to settle for a Content Picker then, for now.

    (I did see the "content" requirement in the source code, but as soon as I saw DataTypeGuids.MultiNodeTreePicker etc. I knew I had to consult the overlords :-)

    Hey Chriztian,

    I'd like to make it support the one in uComponents, but I'm not quite sure how I can do it whilst maintaining a soft dependency. I'll have a try when I come to make some updates, but yea. for now, it has to be the built in one I'm affraid.

    Sorry

    Matt

    On a somewhat unrelated (but somewhat yes) note, I wonder if there might be any risk in you [Chriztian] just changing your data type's rendering control from the legacy MNTP to the core MNTP and saving it?  (Making sure of course to copy/propagate all setting/config for this...)  Or, leave the old legacy data type alone and create a new one to replace it, then edit your document types to use this new data type instead? (Existing values should remain unaffected, since they are all NText, correct?)

    Funka! You rock :)

    I was SO stupid... I really *did* look for the other Multi-Node Tree Picker, but kept looking in the uComponents section - didn't occur to me that it had been completely assimilated by the Core and had it's awesome prefix removed :)

    I literally just changed to the built-in control and hit "Save" (on my iPad, as it were) - magically appeared in the drop down for the WidgetGrid.
    Of course :-)
