I added some extra media-providers which work properly. The provider and it's file location now also show up in editor windows like the Hyperlink window. How can i prevent it from showing up in the Hyperlink window?

Hi,

In your class, that implements IContentRepositoryDescriptor, can you override LinkableTypes and return null.

[ServiceConfiguration(typeof(IContentRepositoryDescriptor))]
public class YourRepositoryDescriptor : MediaRepositoryDescriptor
{
    private readonly IContentProviderManager ProviderManager;

    public YourRepositoryDescriptor(IContentProviderManager providerManager)
    {
        this.ProviderManager = providerManager;
    }

    public static new string RepositoryKey { get { return YourSettings.ProviderKey; } }

    public override string Key { get { return RepositoryKey; } }

    // Disble in link dialog
    public override IEnumerable<Type> LinkableTypes { get { return null; } }

    public override string Name { get { return YourSettings.ProviderName; } }

    public override string SearchArea { get { return RepositoryKey; } }

    public override IEnumerable<ContentReference> Roots
    {
        get { return new[] { this.ProviderManager.GetProvider(YourSettings.ProviderKey).EntryPoint }; }
    }

    public override IEnumerable<Type> ContainedTypes
    {
        get { return new[] { typeof(YourMediaFolder), typeof(YourMediaItem }; }
    }
}

Sweet! I was just looking for that. Overriding the link EditorDescriptor for link was really messy.
