Custom Configuration Section - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I'm trying to create a configuration section and I'm having some issues. If I use the code below, everything works correctly:

[ConfigurationProperty("SendPatientEmailNotifications", DefaultValue = true, IsRequired = true)]

public bool SendPatientEmailNotifications

get return (bool)this["SendPatientEmailNotifications"];

set this["SendPatientEmailNotifications"] = value;

When I change it to the following, I get the error below when viewing the item in the Settings section:

[ConfigurationProperty("SendPatientEmailNotifications", DefaultValue = true, IsRequired = true)]

[ObjectInfo(typeof(ConfigDescriptions), Title = "Send Patient Email Notifications", Description = "Set this value if you want to send emails when a patient registers (to the patient)")]

public bool SendPatientEmailNotifications

get return (bool)this["SendPatientEmailNotifications"];

set this["SendPatientEmailNotifications"] = value;

Could not find the specified key "Send Patient Email Notifications" or class id "ConfigDescriptions".

I would like to have control on how the element is generated in the configuration section. The example above is just a boolean, but I also have a string field that I would like to have more than a single row textbox. Is this possible?

Also, I'm going to have multiple properties that I need to pull (from different configuration sections) and I would like to group all of my items in the settings area underneath the same parent header. How do I accomplish this?
ex:
Settings
-> Custom Area
->-> Area #1
->-> Area #2

Hi Miles,

Please make sure that the ConfigDescriptions file contains the all resource entries for the values you enter. Consider reviewing our documentation article regarding the creation of custom configuration classes:

www.sitefinity.com/.../deep-dive-configuration-creating-configuration-classes.html

You might also check the Product Catalog module in the SDK which has custom configuration class used.

Kind regards,

is there a way to show it in the basic settings instead of the advanced ?

Hello Bishoy,

The Basic setting of custom widgets could be used by creation of Widget Designer for new or existing widgets.

This could be done by using Sitefinity Thunder.

Is there a way to create a configuration property that hooks to the image gallery?
