Returns: Date

Displays a calendar UI for selecting dates which are saved as a DateTime value.

Data Type Definition Example

The only setting that is available for manipulating the Date property is to set a format. By default the format of the date in the Umbraco backoffice will be YYYY-MM-DD, but you can change this to something else. See MomentJS.com for the supported formats.

Content Example

MVC View Example - displays a datetime

Typed

@(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("datePicker").ToString("dd MM yyyy"))

Dynamic (Obsolete)

@{
    @CurrentPage.datePicker.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")
}

Alias: Umbraco.EmailAddress

Returns: String

Displays an email address.

Settings

The Email Address Property Editor does not come with any further configuration. The property can be configured once it has been added to a Document Type.

Content Example

MVC View Example

Without Modelsbuilder

@if (Model.HasValue("email"))
{
    var emailAddress = Model.Value<string>("email");
    <p>@emailAddress</p>
}

With Modelsbuilder

@if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Model.Email))
{
    <p>@Model.Email</p>
}

Add value programmatically

See the example below to learn how a value can be added or changed programmatically to an Email-address property. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;

@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of your page
    var guid = new Guid("796a8d5c-b7bb-46d9-bc57-ab834d0d1248");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've just defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid);
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'email'
    content.SetValue("email", "jpk@umbraco.dk");

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Alias: Umbraco.UploadField

Returns: string

Adds an upload field, which allows documents or images to be uploaded to Umbraco.

You can define which file types should be accepted through the upload field.

Data Type Definition Example

Content Example

In code, the property is a string, which references the location of the file.

Example: "/media/o01axaqu/guidelines-on-remote-working.pdf"

MVC View Example

Without Modelsbuilder

@using System.IO;
@{
    if (Model.HasValue("myFile"))
    {
        var myFile = Model.Value<string>("myFile");

        <a href="@myFile">@System.IO.Path.GetFileName(myFile)</a>
    }

}

With Modelsbuilder

@if (!Model.HasValue(Model.MyFile))
{
   <a href="@Model.MyFile">@System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Model.MyFile)</a>
}

Add values programmatically

See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of this property editor you need the Content Service and the Media Service.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.IO
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Serialization
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Strings
@inject MediaFileManager _mediaFileManager;
@inject IShortStringHelper _shortStringHelper;
@inject IContentTypeBaseServiceProvider _contentTypeBaseServiceProvider;
@inject IContentService Services;
@inject IJsonSerializer _serializer;
@inject MediaUrlGeneratorCollection _mediaUrlGeneratorCollection;

@{
   // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Get access to MediaService 
    var mediaService = MediaService;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the parent where you want to add a child item
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Create a variable for the file you want to upload, in this case the Our Umbraco logo
    var imageUrl = "https://our.umbraco.com/assets/images/logo.svg";

    // Create a request to get the file
    var request = WebRequest.Create(imageUrl);
    var webResponse = request.GetResponse();
    var responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();

    // Get the file name 
    var lastIndex = imageUrl.LastIndexOf("/", StringComparison.Ordinal) + 1;
    var filename = imageUrl.Substring(lastIndex, imageUrl.Length - lastIndex);

    // Create a media file
    var media = mediaService.CreateMediaWithIdentity("myImage", -1, "File");
    media.SetValue(_mediaFileManager, _mediaUrlGeneratorCollection, _shortStringHelper, _contentTypeBaseServiceProvider, Constants.Conventions.Media.File, filename, responseStream);
    // Save the created media 
    mediaService.Save(media);

    // Get the published version of the media (IPublishedContent)
    var publishedMedia = Umbraco.Media(media.Id);

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'myFile' 
    content.SetValue("myFile", publishedMedia.Url());

    // Save the child item
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'myFile'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.MyFile).Alias, publishedMedia.Url();
}

Alias: Umbraco.Decimal

Returns: decimal

Data Type Definition Example

In the example above the possible values for the input field would be [8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10]

All other values will be removed in the content editor when saving or publishing.

If the value of Step Size is not set then all decimal values between 8 and 10 is possible to input in the content editor.

Returns: MediaWithCrops

Returns a path to an image, along with information about focal point and available crops.

When the Image Cropper is used on a Media Type the crops are shared between all usages of a Media Item. This is called global crops.

If the Image Cropper is used on a Document Type, the file and crops will be local to the Document.

Notice that it is possible make local crops on shared Media Items via the .

Settings

Prevalues

You can add, edit & delete crop presets the cropper UI can use.

Data Type Definition Example

Content Example

The Image Cropper provides a UI to upload an image, set a focal point on the image, and use predefined crops.

By default, images in the Image Cropper will be shown based on a set focal point and only use specific crops if they are available.

The Image Cropper comes with 3 modes:

• Uploading an image

• Setting a focal point

• Cropping the image to predefined crops

Uploading images

The editor exposes a drop area for files. Select it to upload an image.

Set focal point

By default, the Image Cropper allows the editor to set a focal point on the uploaded image.

All the preset crops are shown to give the editor a preview of what the image will look like on the frontend.

Crop and resize

The editor can fit the crop to the image to ensure that the image is presented as intended.

Powered by ImageSharp.Web

Sample code

The Image Cropper comes with an API to generate crop URLs. You can also access the raw data directly as a dynamic object.

For rendering a cropped media item, the .GetCropUrl is used:

The third parameter is HtmlEncode and is by default set to true. This means you only need to define the parameter if you want to disable HTML encoding.

Example to output a "banner" crop from a cropper property with the property alias "customCropper"

Or, alternatively using the MediaWithCrops extension method:

Example to dynamically create a crop using the focal point - in this case 300 x 400px image

CSS background example to output a "banner" crop

Set the htmlEncode to false so that the URL is not HTML encoded

Add values programmatically

The following sample demonstrates how to add or change the value of an Image Cropper property programmatically. The sample creates an API controller with an action, which must be invoked via a POST request to the URL written above the action.

If you use Models Builder to generate source code (modes SourceCodeAuto or SourceCodeManual), you can use nameof([generated property name]) to access the desired property without using a magic string:

Get all the crop urls for a specific image

Crop URLs are not limited to usage within a view. IPublishedContent has a GetCropUrl extension method, which can be used to access crop URLs anywhere.

The following sample demonstrates how to use GetCropUrl to retrieve URLs for all crops defined on a specific image:

Alias: Umbraco.Listview

Returns: IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>

List View display a list of categories when it is enabled on a Document Type that has children.

Enable list view

If enabled, editors will be able to see multiple children from a list on a content node that has children. When not enabled, no list will be shown and all children will be shown in the Content Tree.

Settings

Page Size

Defines how many child content nodes you want to see per page. This will limit how many content items you will see in your list. If you set it to 5, then only 5 content items will be shown in the list.

Order By

Will sort your list by the selection you choose in the dropdown. By default it selects "Last edited" and you get the following three columns:

• Last edited - When the content node was last edited and saved.

• Name - Name of the content node(s).

• Created by - This is the user who the content node was created by.

You can add more sorting to this list by adding more datatypes to the columns in the "Columns Displayed" section.

Order Direction

You can select order of the content nodes displayed, "Acsending" or "Descending". The order is affected by the "Order By" selection.

Columns Displayed

It is possible to add more columns to the list, via adding the properties through the dropdown. These properties are based on the Data Types which are used by the Document Type. It will show up in the dropdown by its alias and not the name on the property.

Once you have selected a column that you want to display, the next thing you want to do is define what its name should be and what kind of value it should display. You can also move the headers around, re-ordering how the headers should look. This is done by the move icon on the left side of the alias.

The template section is where you define what kind of value you want to display. The value of the column is in the value variable.

Layouts

The list view comes with two layouts by default. A list and a grid view. These views can be disabled if you are not interested in any of them.

You can also make your own layout and add it to the settings. For example, if you wanted to change the width or length of the grid, you will be able to do so.

Bulk Action Permissions

Select what kind of action is available on the list view.

• Allow bulk publish - content only

• Allow bulk unpublish - content only

• Allow bulk copy - content only

• Allow bulk move

• Allow bulk delete

Content app icon

Changes the icon in the backoffice of the listview. By default it will look like the image below.

Content app name

You can change the name of the listview itself. Default if empty: 'Child Items'.

Show Content App First

Enable this to show the content app by default instead of the list view

Content Example

Generic field value

The {{ value }} will take the value of the Email property and display it in the list, as shown on the image below.

Member name

First, a Member Picker property needs to be present on the content item. In this example, the child item has gotten a Member Picker Data Type with the alias of isAuthor.

Now that the child item has a member and the value that should be displayed is the name of the picked value, the next step is to reconfigure the template value in the listview setting.

Other examples

Alias: Umbraco.Label

Returns: String

Label is a non-editable control and can only be used to display a pre-set value.

Data Type Definition Example

Value type

If you want to set a value other than a String, you can define the data using one of the other available Data Types. These include Decimal, Date/time, Time, Integer, and Big integer.

There is also a Value Type: Long string if you need to set a long string value for your Label.

}

Alias: Umbraco.MediaPicker3

Returns: IEnumerable<MediaWithCrops> or MediaWithCrops

This property editors returns a single MediaWithCrops item if the "Pick multiple items" Data Type setting is disabled or a collection if it is enabled.

Data Type Definition Example

Accepted types

Use setting to limit the picker to only select Media Items of these types.

Pick multiple items

Use this setting to enable the property to contain multiple items. When this is enabled the property editor returns an IEnumerable<MediaWithCrops>.

You can still set the maximum amount to 1. Do so when you want to retrieve a collection but only allow the Content Editors to select one Media Item.

Amount

Use this setting to enforce a minimum and/or maximum amount of selected Media Items.

Start node

This setting is used to limit the Media Picker to certain parts of the Media Tree.

Ignorer user start nodes

Use this setting to overrule user permissions, to enable any user of this property to pick any Media Item of the chosen Start node.

When this setting is enabled, a user who doesn't normally have access to the media selected as "Start Node" (/Design in this case), can access the media when using this particular Media Picker. If no Start node has been defined for this property any content can be viewed and selected of this property.

Enable Focal Point

Enable the focal point setter, do only enable this if the focal point is used or if you have Image crops defined.

Image Crops

Define local image crops. Local image crop data is stored on the document in this property. This means it can differentiate between documents.

This is different from Global crops as they are defined on the Media Item, making the crops shared between all usage of that Media Item.

Global crops are configured on the Image Cropper property of the Image Media Type

    }
}

Using crops

Both local and global crops are retrieved using the method GetCropUrl. If crops with identical aliases are defined both locally and globally, the locally defined crops are always prioritized by GetCropUrl.

The following is an example of how to retrieve a crop from a MediaWithCrops entry:

@{
    foreach (var entry in Model.Medias)
    {
        <img src="@entry.GetCropUrl("cropAlias")"/>
    }

@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Get the media you want to assign to the media picker 
    var media = Umbraco.Media("bca8d5fa-de0a-4f2b-9520-02118d8329a8");

    // Create an Udi of the media
    var udi = Udi.Create(Constants.UdiEntityType.Media, media.Key);

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'featuredBanner'. 
    content.SetValue("featuredBanner", udi.ToString());

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'featuredBanner'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.FeaturedBanner).Alias, udi.ToString());
}

Alias: Umbraco.MultiUrlPicker

Returns: IEnumerable<Link> or Link

Multi Url Picker allows an editor to pick and sort multiple urls. This property editor returns a single item if the "Maximum number of items" Data Type setting is set to 1 or a collection if it is 0. These can either be internal, external or media.

MVC View Example - value converters enabled

Typed

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models
@{
    var links = Model.Value<IEnumerable<Link>>("footerLinks");
    if (links.Any())
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var link in links)
            {
                <li><a href="@link.Url" target="@link.Target">@link.Name</a></li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

If Max number of items is configured to 1

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models
@{
    var link = Model.Value<Link>("link");
    if (link != null)
    {
        <a href="@link.Url" target="@link.Target">@link.Name</a>
    }
}

Add values programmatically

See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@using Newtonsoft.Json;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models;
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Get the media you want to assign to the footer links property 
    var media = Umbraco.Media("bca8d5fa-de0a-4f2b-9520-02118d8329a8");

    // Create an Udi of the media
    var mediaUdi = Udi.Create(Constants.UdiEntityType.Media, media.Key);

    // Get the content you want to assign to the footer links property 
    var contentPage = Umbraco.Content("665d7368-e43e-4a83-b1d4-43853860dc45");

    // Create an Udi of the Content
    var contentPageUdi = Udi.Create(Constants.UdiEntityType.Document, contentPage.Key);

    // Create a list with different link types
    var externalLink = new List<Link>
    {
        // External Link
        new Link
        {
            Target = "_blank",
            Name = "Our Umbraco",
            Url = "https://our.umbraco.com/",
            Type = LinkType.External
        },
        // Media 
        new Link
        {
            Target = "_self",
            Name = media.Name,
            Url = media.MediaUrl(),
            Type = LinkType.Media,
            Udi = mediaUdi
        }, 
        // Content 
        new Link
        {
            Target = "_self",
            Name = contentPage.Name,
            Url = contentPage.Url(),
            Type = LinkType.Content,
            Udi = contentPageUdi
        }
    };

    // Serialize the list with links to JSON
    var links = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(externalLink);


    // Set the value of the property with alias 'footerLinks'. 
    content.SetValue("footerLinks", links);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'footerLinks'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.FooterLinks).Alias, links);
}

Alias: Umbraco.MarkdownEditor

Returns: System.Web.HtmlString

This built-in editor allow the user to use the markdown formatting options, from within a tinyMCE-like interface.

Data Type Definition Example

There are three settings available for manipulating the Markdown editor property.

• Preview toggles if a preview of the markdown should be displayed beneath the editor in the content view.

• Default value is inserted if no content has been saved to the Document Type using this property editor.

• Overlay Size is used to select the width of the link picker overlay in the content view.

Add values programmatically

See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Create markdown value
    var markdownValue = new HtmlString("#heading  \n**strong text**");
    
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'myMarkdownEditor'. 
    content.SetValue("myMarkdownEditor", markdownValue);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'myMarkdownEditor'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.MyMarkdownEditor).Alias, markdownValue);
}

Alias: Umbraco.Tags

Returns: IEnumerable<string>

The Tags property editor allows you to add multiple tags to a node.

Data Type Definition Example

Tag group

The Tag group setting provides a way to categorize your tags in groups. So for each category you will create a new instance of the Tags property editor and setup the unique category name for each instance. Whenever a tag is added to an instance of the tags property editor it's added to the tag group, which means it will appear in the Typeahead list when you start to add another tag. Only tags that belong to the specified group will be listed. If you have a "Frontend" group and a "Backend" group the tags from the "Frontend" group will only be listed if you're adding a tag to the Tags property editor configured with the "Frontend" group name and vice versa.

Storage type

Data can be saved in either Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format or in JSON format. By default data is saved in JSON format. The difference between using CSV and JSON is that with JSON you can save a tag, which includes comma separated values.

There are built-in property value converters, which means you don't need to worry about writing them yourself or parse the JSON output when choosing "JSON" in the storage type field. Therefore the last code example on this page will work out of the box without further ado.

Content Examples

CSV tags

JSON tags

Tags typeahead

Whenever a tag has been added it will be visible in the typeahead when you start typing on other pages.

MVC View Example - displays a list of tags

Multiple items - with Modelsbuilder

@if(Model.Tags.Any()){
    <ul>
        @foreach(var tag in Model.Tags){
            <li>@tag</li>
        }
    </ul>
}

Multiple items - without Modelsbuilder

@if(Model.HasValue("tags"))
{
 var tags = Model.Value<IEnumerable<string>>("tags");
    <ul>
        @foreach(var tag in tags)
        {
            <li>@tag</li>
        }
    </ul>
}
