I just created a new umbraco 6.1.6 site and installed uComponents 6.0.0. I am having a problem where the Data Type Grid is only a small subset of data types in the drop down for the data type. I have checked and the DataTypeGrid.config exists, and seems to have way more entries in the compatable data types element than are being shown on the UI.
If it matters, I have installed this two different ways with the same results. The first way was using the latest nuget package. I also rolled that back and installed via the UI by installing a local package in the back office.
Please let me know if I am missing some configuration steps. It really looks like this tool is awesome and I hope to be able to use it soon.
Sorry folks, I'm an idiot. After trying numerous options and version combinations. I finally downloaded the source for uComponents and attached a debugger. The reason that I only saw those data types in the drop down was because I had not yet created any actual data types using the uComponents "property editors". I totally forgot that you have to make an instance of the data type using the uComponents property editors before they would show up.
I was also able to enable Universal Media Picker and pick a video from Vimeo, which was the ultimate goal.
I hope this helps somone else avoid this noob mistake.
Oh, good. If you need more info please let me know. I was just not creating any instances of the data types and therefore they didn't show up in the list of data types that I could pick from when building the columns on the grid.
Data Type Grid - Only shows core data types
