Widget with custom controller and inline editor

Jelle Capenberghs asked on July 31, 2019 10:10

Hello,

I am currently building a widget that allows you to select an image from the media library to display on the web page. I have an inline editor that calls a javascript function to open the media library and select an image (the Guid Id). I also have a controller that receives the id from the selected image and then returns the imageUrl to display on the page. But I can't seem to get the selected image Id from the inline editor to my custom controller. Is it possible to combine a custom controller and an inline editor. Because the examples in de documentation use either a custom controller or an inline editor, but not both since they require different models in de widget view.

I hope my question is a bit clear :-) Or if there is a widget that allows you to select an image from the media library to display on the page is already available, that would also be great (so I don't have to build my own...).

Kind regards,

Jelle

Hi Jelle,

Kentico 12 Service Pack brought media selection inline editor, please check out the documentation.

Also, you can check my article about writing custom media picker and using it in a custom widget. And here is the code example from the article. I hope it will help.
