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?
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 :-)
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.
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?)
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 :-)
WidgetGrid doesn't see my preconfigured MNTP

Hey Chriztian,

Funka! You rock :)

Of course :-)
