Inspired by Casey's approach with autoform plus I'm I'm about to create some data types which is able to render a dropdown or checkbox from childnodes of a given node in content (or media). DropdownContent CheckBoxContent Another data type that I wan't to create is a slightly modified content picker where you're able to specify which part of the content (or media) tree you're allowed to pick from. Pro's: Lot's of ideas :tease: Con's: I have forgotton all about creating data types since Codegarden '06 where Kasper made it look so easy. So before I start i just wanna ask if anyone has created anything like the above? Kindly, Jesper

Hey Jesper, Regarding the abovementioned control, hang tight - its on its way (with even more functionality than you're after ;) ). if you don't see it surface in 10 days time, start to pester Niels for it. :P Good luck with your other ones - i'm sure they'll be quite handy. no idea how to create data types so sorry can't help there. all the best greg

Greg: Great news - I might even wait 10 minutes before starting to "pester" Niels (I don't know what pester is but I'll do it if needed) Christian: Thanks for the pointers. I'm gonna use one of those (if not Niels get tied of being "pestered" today) Kindly, Jesper

Content Dropdown is a data type for Umbraco 3 .NET 2.0. This data type is a single select dropdown. It uses published content for values. When you define the data type you specify from which nodeid the control should render the child nodes as values/keys. When used it saves the nodeid of the selected item. You'll find it at http://www.jesper.comTry it out and let me know what you think. Is multivalue interesting? Kindly, Jesper

Wouldn't that just be a multi-content picker then?
