Tag DataType

[mike-w-kelly]

Summary

I'm trying to add a custom tag datatype with the following migration based on the example project

var tagGroup = DataType.Create("Kb Article Tags", PropertyEditor.Tags, DataTypeDatabaseType.Ntext).Save();
tagGroup.SetTagDataTypePreValues("Kb Article Tags", StorageType.Csv).Save();

The migration runs fine and I can see the Data Type in the back office, but when I try to access it I get the following error which suggests there is an error with the PropertyEditor mapping.

Any ideas?

Error

Hi Mike,

I've had a look at the uFluent issue this morning. If you set the property editor to "Umbraco.Tags" in the initial create statement it will work. We need to change the constants so they are not GUID based but if you put the property editor name in there instead of PropertyEditor.Tags it will create the data type

An example of this would be

DataType.Create("Article Tags", "Umbraco.Tags", DataTypeDatabaseType.Ntext)
        .SetTagDataTypePreValues("Article Tags", StorageType.Csv).Save();

This is a workaround for the moment, we will look at getting the issue with the property editor constants fixed.

Thanks
Andy

Thanks Andy, I'll give that a go later today.
