How to add Tag selector in Sitefinity Control Edit mode

Hi there,

I would like to add a tag selector control in the Edit mode of a usercontrol that users will edit on the page.

Something like this http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/ivan/posts/09-03-23/products_module_insert_edit_templates_control_guidance.aspx

I want on the Done event to capture those values and read information from that,

Please tell me how to do that.

Thanks,

Hello Zubair,

I believe you're going to find thing blog post useful. It covers the steps to adding different fields to the widget designer - including FlatTaxonField (Tags). At the end you'll find a sample widget.

Hi there,

I should've looked at your link earlier before getting down to actually doing it, I was not clear enough I am using Sitefinity 3.7 and not 4.x, so can you give me a hint to do that in 3.x?

Hello Zubair,

To avoid confusion in the future, please open threads related to Sitefinity 3.x in their respective forums. The thread is opened in Sitefinity 4.x forums and this lead Zheni to the impression that you are using 4.x.

You need to create a custom web UI type editor which is going to be populated with tags. You need to use the respective manager to get tags list. Sample on how to create such controls can be found here: Creating a custom WebUITypeEditor.

Hi there,

Yes my bad, though I have managed to do this using Custom Designers but I'll see if I got time to look at this approach.

Thanks
