On-page editing for PropertyList properties
Hi!
Until EPiServer adds on-page editing you can add an editor descriptor for all of your PropertyList<T> properties to at least get the multiple popups thing working:
[EditorDescriptorRegistration(TargetType = typeof(IList<MyModel>))]
public class OnPageCollectionEditorDescriptor : CollectionEditorDescriptor<MyModel>
{
public override void ModifyMetadata(ExtendedMetadata metadata, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
{
base.ModifyMetadata(metadata, attributes);
metadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiType"] = metadata.ClientEditingClass;
metadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiWrapperType"] = UiWrapperType.Floating;
}
}
Then you need to inject some css in edit mode to fix the dialog width:
.dijitDialogPaneContentArea .epi-collection-editor {
min-width: 640px;
}
Don't forget to remove the EditorDescriptorAttribute from your property if you go for this workaround.

I'm using PropertyList properties, and while I realize that's still in beta I was wondering if there's a way to support on-page editing?
If I use @Html.EditAttributes(m => m.MyListOfItems) I do get an overlay, but when I click it I get the "legacy popup" with a simple textbox for the underlying serialized property value.
I was expecting a popup with the list editor, but then I realized that would potentially lead to multiple popups when items are added/edited - so I guess that wouldn't be optimal. :)
So, I guess my question is two-fold: is there a way to support on-page editing and, if not, are there plans to support it?
