Built-in Editor Types

Defining editors

Editors are defined using attributes on content item classes or properties.

• WithEditableChild – Adds an edit for form a child item resolved by its name
• WithEditableDateRange – Adds a date range editor
• WithEditableName – Adds editing of the item’s name (url segment)
• WithEditablePublishedRange – Adds editing of the items publishing range
• WithEditableTitle – Adds editing of the item title
• EditableCheckBox – Adds editing of a Boolean property
• EditableChildren – Adds editing of a collection of children
• EditableDate – Adds editing of a date
• EditableEnum – Adds editing of an enum
• EditableFileUpload – Adds file upload and store a link to the uploaded file
• EditableFreeTextArea – Adds a WYSIWYG editor
• EditableImage – Adds an image picker
• EditableImageSize – Adds an image size drop down
• EditableItem – Adds an editable child item
• EditableLanguagesDropDown – Adds a drop down with languages
• EditableLink – Adds a link picker
• EditableTextBox – Adds a text box
• EditableUrl – Adds an text box with link picker
• EditableUserControl – Adds a custom user control

This is an example of a content item with too many editors defined (you should define no more than one editor per property).
