    Related link property

    Total newbie with ditto, so I have doc type which has property Related Links its the standard Umbraco Related Link property editor. So in my poco what do i need todo to strongly map,

    public [???] PrimaryHeaderLinks {get;set;}

    Will this work out of the box or do i need to install Jeavons property converters?

    Regards

    Ismail

    Hi Ismail,

    If you're using Jeavon's Property Value Converters library, then all you need to have is this...

    public RelatedLinks PrimaryHeaderLinks { get; set; }

    Then Ditto will be able to map it.

    Cheers,

    Yeah, it's either...

    1. Write your own TypeConverters, (which is pretty easy once you've done one).
    2. Take a look at Mick Law's library for it: https://github.com/micklaw/Ditto.Resolvers
    3. Wait a couple of weeks for me to finish my "Archetype to IPublishedContent" code ;-)

    Found a quick example of a custom TypeConverter that uses Archetype...

    Cheers lee,

    One more thing I have got a service which is in business logic assembly i have some code like:

     var globalContent = siteLanguage.Children.FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "GlobalContent");
        return globalContent.As<GlobalContent>();

    The first statement returns IPublishedContent when i try second to do the mapping i get cannot resolve As error, am i missing reference or can you not do this?

    Regards

    Ismail

    You should definitely be able to do that.

    Check that you have a namespace reference for...

    using Our.Umbraco.Ditto;
