Hi all i have structre like on the image:
diagram

My BaseArticle Page has content are that looks like this:

        [AllowedTypes(typeof(AgrifirmArticlePage), typeof(NuscienceArticlePage))]
        public virtual IList RelatedItems { get; set; }

My question is why i can't use IRelatedItem or IRelatedItemWithColor inside AllowedTypes. Also when i put BaseArticle page, it will work only for SiteA not for SiteB aritlce pages ( i guess this is due to some cache).
I saw in alloy that there is one contentarea that uses allowtypes and IContent is passed as type, so i am wondering what i'm doing wrong ?

Kind Regards
Nemanja

Hi! You can, but you need to register them through a UI descriptor, like this:

[UIDescriptorRegistration]
public class RelatedItemUIDescriptor : UIDescriptor<IRelatedItem>
{
}

Then AllowedTypes should work. You can also change other types of behavior in the descriptor, please see http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Class-library/?documentId=cms/8/F39A57F.
