I have inserted custom fields into the sf_meta_fields table as described in the article content post. How are the custom fields included in the UI frontend/backend and can the view BlogsBackendInsertPost template be extracted, customised and mapped.

Regards,

Neil

Hi nenwmn,

The Templates could not be extracted in the BETA version. You can create the dynamic field by using DynamicData facade

App.WorkWith().DynamicData().Type(typeof(NewsItem)) .Field().TryCreateNew("FirstName", typeof(string), ref changedDB).Done()

or using .MetadataManager.CreateMetafield which is the same.

Hi,

With the upcoming release can the admin templates be extracted to add a custom server control to the BlogsBackendInsertPost template and override.

Hi Neil,

Our plans are to provide the backend templates after the RC. There is a folder with external templates for the public controls in the SDK that you an use.

Thanks Ivan,


I am aware and tested the SDK templates but these are not the ones I mean. Wiil the template that creates blogpost through the admin UI be customisable like SDK frontend templates are in the official release. I have a server control and just want to extend beyond the functionality out of the box for blogposts.

Best Regards,

Neil

Hi Neil,

We will provide the templates after the RC and I mentioned this at the beginning of my previous reply.

Thanks Ivan,


Sorry for the confusion was just trying to clarify after the RC, did this mean the official release or in future service packs?

Best Regards,

Hello Neil,

The concept is that we will have a built-in editor that will allow you to edit the control template directly in Sitefinity. I believe that we will manage to do this for the official release. For the time being you can copy all template from Reflector by using Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources dll.

Hi Ivan,

Now can we edit the autogenerated backend views through the build-in editor? Is this feature available in the officicial release?

Thanks!

Hello Duneel,

You can edit most of the public widget templates though the built in widget template editor. The implementation for editing all templates is not scheduled yet and it is not in our plans for  Q1 and Q2.
