Hello world!

I have a question about the design of properties in epi .in the mode “all properties”.

Properties type are seen :

String :

ISelectionFactory:

Date Time:

Html :

But in “on page editing” the properties are seen :

Date time :

And after click on text box , open popup :

DateTime:

ISelectionFactory:

Block :

Html:

After click to text box open the “button”:

Can we change the in “on page editing” properties to look like the “all properties” mode ?

(that will not open popup)

We add the property to index.cshtml :

Ex: @Html.PropertyFor(n => n.CurrentPage.MainPicture)

Thanks.

To change this behaviour you need to change uiWrapperType to inline.

You could use:

1) CustomEditorSetting

    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
    public class InlineAttribute : Attribute, IMetadataAware
    {
        public void OnMetadataCreated(ModelMetadata metadata)
        {
            var extendedMetadata = metadata as ExtendedMetadata;
            if (extendedMetadata != null)
            {
                extendedMetadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiWrapperType"] = "inline";
            }
        }
    }

and then on your model:

 public class StandardPage : SitePageData
    {
        [Inline]
        public virtual string Prop1 { get; set; }
    }

2) Add data-epi-property-edittype attribute in your markup. More info about this can be found here: http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/Episerver-CMS/8/Editing/Editing/

I had no time to test those solutions.

In the documentation you can find: "Dijit widgets cannot be used inline.", so I'm not sure if you could change all of those properties to inline.
