We've been using this package on Umbraco 4.11.10 to make it possible for users to pick categories from a local database, and giving them the weight-option on each category.
Now we want to upgrade to Umbraco 6.2.4, but we can't get this package to work anymore after upgrading.
When we start typing in the textbox, the spinner on the right starts rotating like it's loading, but there's no words shown in the dropdown.
We can see in the console that a service is called with this URL:
If we're browsing directly to this URL in the browser, the categories are shown correctly, so I guess it's just a small thing to get the words to show in the dropdown as well.
One thing that we noticed, is that the aliases of the document types can't containt any hyphens (-), but the document types used by this packe does that. So maybe the aliases from the document types are somehow hardcoded in the C# or something like that.
We haven't touched this code in a while and we weren't planning on it either, so we've decided to provide you with the code that is used in the datatype so you can debug it yourself. The download should be enough to fix the issue. As far as I've seen there are some hard coded values, like you suggested, which may cause the problem.
Can I just take the files and import them into my own Visual Studio project? Or do you have a VS solution/project that I can use to open up the files correctly?
You can just copy the files in your own solution. You might have to change some namespaces and the GUID that is used by the datatype to avoid conflicts.

Hi there
We've been using this package on Umbraco 4.11.10 to make it possible for users to pick categories from a local database, and giving them the weight-option on each category.
Now we want to upgrade to Umbraco 6.2.4, but we can't get this package to work anymore after upgrading.

I hope that someone can help out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kim,

The download is available on http://www.xuntos.nl/media/6959/tags.zip.

Hi there Michiel
Thank you very much for your answer :)
Can I just take the files and import them into my own Visual Studio project? Or do you have a VS solution/project that I can use to open up the files correctly?
