Multi URL Picker - limit selectable documentypes and/or choose starting node

I’ve had a couple of use scenarios where it would be really nice if we could limit (exclude or include) which document/element types that can be selected for linkage and a starting node for the Multi URL picker.

So if you only want a specific Multi URL picker on the newspages only to be able to link to other newspages, then you should be able to select a starting node for which this MUP can select internal content to link to - or maybe add the posibility to limit the
document/element types from which you can choose.

Newspage can only link to newspage document types, so I have limited the document types that are valid for links to newspage type.

Newspage should only be able to link to other newspages therefore I have limited the newspages Multi URL picker to start at the newspage collection Node.

I really think this feature would awesome addition to the MU picker.

Hi Nicklas :waving_hand:

Have a look at Lee’s Contentment package – I’ve used the DataList property editor (with the Umbraco Content by XPath data source) for this so many times I stopped counting :grin:

Just realizing I read “Multi Node Tree Picker” every time you wrote “Multi URL Picker” :face_with_crossed_out_eyes:
slaps forehead

Could you just use a multinode treepicker and limit that to a certain selection? I assume you’ve thought of that already so I might miss something in your requirements.

Do you simply prefer the multi URL picker? Or simultaneously need the ability to choose a “raw” url (external link for example) AND only specific document types?

Hey Karl!

The customer uses the Multi URL picker for both external and internal linking and it works so well but unfortunately it seems to make it possible for editors to find and use all items in the umbraco cms. That means they can select configuration files, types that are solely used for caterizing content items and so on. I think it would be very useful to be able to limit the types of document types and where the starting node needs to be. That way you wouldn’t have accidently editors choosing content in the wrong places.

Exactly! we need to be able to choose starting node or/and pages which is based on certain document types
