Hi,

I still can drag and drop the catalog node into a conten reference/Url property without AllowTypes setting as well. So did you have any AllowTypes setting for your property or did you get any javascript problems when dragging and dropping Catalog node?

I'm not sure what the problem is, can't you use

[AllowedTypes(typeof(CatalogContent), typeof(NodeContent)]

attribute on your property?

Thanx all. I think I described it wrong. We want to drag and drop instance of catalogcontent( direct node after catalog root) and that is not possible to drag and drop instance of CatalogContent to url  field. 

Can you post a screenshot and a code snippet, I still don't grasp it 

Let me give you a better picture of what is happening. Our catalog structure is as below:

And we are using CatalogContent (in above example 'AU Region') as our product listing page (means CatalogContent has a correspondent controller)

    public class CatalogContentController : ActionControllerBase, IRenderTemplate<CatalogContent>, IRenderTemplate<SampleCategoryNode>
    {

        public ActionResult Index(NodeContentBase currentContent) {
         ....
       }
    }

Routing and showing the product listing working perfectly. Now we need to setup our website menu structure, that means I need to drag our CatalogContent instance (in our example 'AU Region') into a Url field. But CMS does not allow me to do that:

And as you can see on 'Url' field we CAN'T drop the 'AU Region'!! I'm just curious to know as 'AU Region' has valid url (has controller and routing working perfectly with it) why we can't select CatalogContent instance on our URL field (type of URL field is Episerver Url).

Regards,

Aria

How do you define the Url property in code?

        [CultureSpecific]
        [Display(
            Name = "Url",
            GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
            Order = 20)]
        public virtual Url Url { get; set; }

;)

I'm less familiar with Url, but is there a reason you didn't use ContentReference?

So user can provide external Url if needed :) But even with ContentReference, CMS does not allow to drag a Catalog to the property that is type of ContentReference

I can confirm that it works well on Quicksilver - so it's probably something with your site. In this case, you would have to contact our developer support for further assistance 

appreciate it mate :) 

Hi Aria,

Did you manage to solve this? I'm facing the exact same issue.

Kind regards
