dialogService - define startnode

Developing Umbraco 7 packages

Hey

I'm trying to open a dialog that lists the children of a certain node. Heres some code:

    dialogService.contentPicker({
                        multiPicker: false,
                        startNode: {
                            id: 4217 //not working

                        },
                        callback: function (data) {
                               //bla bla
                        }
    });

How do i define the startnode?

Or how do i just list all content of a certain type?

Hi Tom

Don't know if you could perhaps benefit from reading Kevin's blogpost here http://blog.imulus.com/kevin-giszewski/umbraco-7-property-editor-weighted-content-list

In one of the code examples he is setting the startnode id like this: startNodeId:4217

Hope this helps.

sadly, I couldn't get it to work.

I guess I need to use dialogService.treePicker, but again the documentation is sparse and I have no idea where to start.

So any inputs are welcome...

dialogService.treePicker({
      multiPicker: true,
      section: "content",
      treeAlias: "content",
      startNodeId: 6230,
      callback: //bla bla
});

works :)

Hi Tom

Cool you got it working and thanks for sharing - So it seems that section and treeAlias should be defined? (Mandatory)

Update: I didn't manage to get the solution above to work.
I'm currently running Umbraco 7.5.10

I had to use customTreeParams
```
dialogService.contentPicker({
    multiPicker: true,
    customTreeParams: "startNodeId=10185",
});
```
Additional: If you want to only allow certain document types to be selected you could just add
filter: "docType1, docType2, docType3"

And if you want to add a css class to the not allowed document types add:
filterCssClass: "not-allowed not-published"
(not-allowed and not-published is css classes used by Umbraco, it will display them as greyed out and with a cursor of not-allowed.)
