I have now tested the cloned content provider. It works ok. But i want all capabilities enabled.

cloned content provider just have Search capabilities.

public override ContentProviderCapabilities ProviderCapabilities { get { return ContentProviderCapabilities.Search; } }

This is what i want

        public override ContentProviderCapabilities ProviderCapabilities
        {
            get
            {
                return ContentProviderCapabilities.Search | ContentProviderCapabilities.MultiLanguage | ContentProviderCapabilities.Create | ContentProviderCapabilities.Edit | ContentProviderCapabilities.Copy | ContentProviderCapabilities.Delete | ContentProviderCapabilities.Security | ContentProviderCapabilities.Wastebasket;
            }
        }

Does anybody have a provider code that is working to share ?

Hi,

I was using similar functionality in one of the project (some tree nodes was displayd several times and shared). There was no problems with this functionality.

I think that you should simply follow the documentation for Configuring content providers. There is also working example based on XML content provider here.

Hi,

I was sure this should be easy to, but just cant get it to work. I have read both your link,. I am missing something important. I made an easy example, can you show me some code that works.

I found a DefaultContentProvider and i have read here that this is the one that episerver uses, can i use it?. Right now i am inherit from ContentProvider

I want to display threenode 44 under emty threenode 164 as an example.

Added this to web.config and also created a MyContentProviderInitialization.cs

  <episerver>
      <contentProvider>
      <providers>
        <add name="MyContentProvider"
                type="EpiserverDemoSite.Business.ContentProviders.MyContentProvider, EpiserverDemoSite"
                entryPoint="164"
                capabilities="Create,Edit,Delete,Search,Wastebasket,MultiLanguage,Copy"/>
      </providers>
    </contentProvider>    
    
  </episerver>

namespace EpiserverDemoSite.Business.Initialization
{
    [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
    public class MyContentProviderInitialization : IInitializableModule
    {
        private static readonly ILogger Logger = LogManager.GetLogger();

        private bool _initialized;

        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            if (_initialized || context.HostType != HostType.WebApplication)
            {
                return;
            }

            var providerManager = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentProviderManager>();
            //I can see my contentprovider in providerManager
            var contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();


            var myContentprovider = new MyContentProvider();
            //providerManager.ProviderMap.AddProvider(myContentprovider);  //When it is in config i cant add it here
            

            _initialized = true;
        }




        public void Preload(string[] parameters) { }

        public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context) { }
    }
