Category selection popup shows all categories instead of showing only allowed category about epicategories HOT 9 CLOSED

Oh, I see it has been changed. But previously, it wasn't possible to select sub categories (even though they are allowed) if the categories on the first level was always hidden because they were not matching allowed types.

I might add a setting for this in the future, but default will always be like it currently is.

It turned out to be an easy fix so I added this setting. See updated README for details. I just uploaded version 1.2.11 to the Episerver feed so it will be available in the next few days. Closing this issue now.

Hi!

This is weird since nothing regarding this has been changed between these versions. I will take a look at this. Did you also upgrade Episerver in relation to this?

from epicategories.

Hello again.

Are you sure this has worked in earlier versions? This is the code in the CategoriesAttribute:

https://github.com/Geta/EpiCategories/blob/master/src/EpiCategories/DataAnnotations/CategoriesAttribute.cs#L36

However, I will add support for the AllowedTypesAttribute and create a new release. I'll let you know when it's published.

from epicategories.

@MattisOlsson Yes, it worked with the earlier version.
We upgraded the following packages:
Episerver.CMS from 11.12.0 to 11.15.0
Episerver.CMS.UI from 11.23.0 to 11.24.0

from epicategories.

I can't reproduce this. Just to make things clear: The category selector shows all category types, but only the AllowedTypes are selectable (with a checkbox to left of the label), provided that the "IsSelectable" property is set to true. This is the way default Episerver selectors work as well. They show everything, but you can only select the allowed types. Because it might be possible to have an allowed category nested somewhere.

I don't see any checkbox at all in your screenshots, are you sure you can select any of them? :)

I will investigate if I can easily add a css class to those nodes so they are a bit grayed out (disabled).

from epicategories.

The category selector shows all category types and provides checkbox only for the allowed types, not for the other types.

But for the better user experience, Is it possible to show only allowed category types & hide the other categories from the category selection popup like in version 1.2.6?
Instead of adding a class to grey out, can you add Hide class to hide the disabled categories from the selection?

from epicategories.

I can't imagine how it could ever have worked like you say in 1.2.6, maybe because of differences in Episerver perhaps, since this has not been changed in the package.

Unfortunately, I don't want to hide disabled categories because there might be children to those categories which are actually allowed.

Wow! that was quick. Thanks for the fix @MattisOlsson
