Display Modes Documentation

[AaronSadlerUK]

Hey @leekelleher,

Any chance you could share some info on how to create a custom display mode?

https://github.com/leekelleher/umbraco-contentment/blob/develop/docs/editors/data-picker.md#extending-with-your-own-custom-display-modes

Currently it just says todo

[leekelleher]

I most likely need some help/contributions with those parts of the documentation, the TODO notes have been there for the longest time!
(Not enough hours in the day, eh!) 😅

Are you meaning for Umbraco 13 (AngularJS) or Umbraco 14+?

If it's AngularJS, then it'd be similar to how the Data List's custom list-editors work, e.g. C# class to point to an AngularJS (HTML) view file. (Examples in the source code)

For the new backoffice (Contentment v6+), it's too early to start documenting it, much more complexity at the moment, which needs to be drastically simplified, but that's mostly as it's been more of an exploratory development process for me. They will be client-side registered, examples of my work-in-progress in the source code.

This is v13 at the moment, I just need to create a custom list view with the data picker with 2 extra strings

[leekelleher]

I've seen since your post on the forum, can you clarify what you are wanting to do?

When you say custom list view, do you mean Umbraco's List View, as in the document-type configuration? or a custom view (display mode) for the Data Picker?

...and when you say Data Picker with 2 extra strings, I'm unsure how to you mean? Data Picker is a single property-editor, it doesn't have a way to add extra fields to it, (similar to most property-editors).

Hi Lee,

I found a way by editing the SQL, the screenshot below show show what I was trying to achieve with a custom display mode

[AaronSadlerUK]

I am using a concat in the SQL to join product code and year into a single string

Ah okay, I see how you mean now. 👍 I'd assumed the "2 extra strings" were as input/text fields. 🤦
