Add a custom field with drop down list into news module
I've had a hard time finding a simple solution to this. Basically, I've created a custom module called "Issues". It stores magazine issue dates, cover images, and links to pdf versions.
I now want to add a custom field to the news module called issue, which will display a drop down list of issues from the Issues module. The drop down text should be the issue date, and the drop down value should be the id. Can anyone help me with a simple solution to achieve this. I've tried referencing this post www.sitefinity.com/.../creating_one_to_many_relationships_in_dynamic_modules.aspx, but I can't seem to successfully apply that to my case.
Thanks,
Ryan
...that would be the article I was going to find you :/
The only "easy" way is to wait for content linking...not sure if that's 5.1, 5.2 or later though. I really really want this feature to be out of the box asap.
Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. I'm supposed to have this setup and working by the end of this week, so waiting for the next release isn't an option.
Are there any users out there who have successfully achieved this?
Rados article is the way to do it...your quickest way to get this fixed is to provide a ticket with your project files ;)
Steve is correct. The Array of Guids, which is the data type you would want to use, was only added to the module builder which is what Radoslav is referencing in the article. I know it isn't the best way, but you could go the opposite route. You could create the association from the Issues module and reference the news.
