Customizing a selector
The following example, which you can customize, shows how to override the default root of the repository.
[UIHint("teaserblock")]
public virtual ContentReference TeaserBlockReference { get; set; }
[EditorDescriptorRegistration(TargetType = typeof(ContentReference), UIHint = "teaserblock")]
public class BlockReferenceEditorDescriptor : ContentReferenceEditorDescriptor<TeaserBlock>
{
public override IEnumerable<ContentReference> Roots
{
get
{
//Sample to override the default root for the repository.
//Take the reference from configuration or site initialization and do not hard-code it.
return new ContentReference[] { new ContentReference(90 ) };
}
}
}
