Selecting content
The following built-in content selector examples show ways to set up content selector properties to create links to other content, such as selecting a page in a page reference property.
Built-in content selectors
public virtual PageReference PageReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.Block)] public virtual ContentReference BlockReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.Image)] public virtual ContentReference ImageReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.Video)] public virtual ContentReference VideoReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.MediaFile)] public virtual ContentReference AnyMediaFileReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.BlockFolder)] public virtual ContentReference BlockFolderReference { get; set; } [UIHint(UIHint.MediaFolder)] public virtual ContentReference MediaFolderReference { get; set; }
Customizing a selector
The following example, which you can customize, shows how to override the default root of the repository.
[UIHint("teaserblock")] public virtual ContentReference TeaserBlockReference { get; set; } [EditorDescriptorRegistration(TargetType = typeof(ContentReference), UIHint = "teaserblock")] public class BlockReferenceEditorDescriptor : ContentReferenceEditorDescriptor<TeaserBlock> { public override IEnumerable<ContentReference> Roots { get { //Sample to override the default root for the repository. //Take the reference from configuration or site initialization and do not hard-code it. return new ContentReference[] { new ContentReference(90 ) }; } } }
