Below is a reference for the attributes you can decorate your custom content classes with in N2. More detailed information can be found in the N2.Details API documentation.

Attributes for properties and classes are in N2.dll, found inside the following namespaces:

• N2.Definitions
• N2.Details
• N2.Integrity namespaces

Class attributes

To save yourself the hassle of adding extra properties and attributes to those properties for the name and title of your content item, you should add the following two attributes to your class:

WithEditableName
WithEditableTitle

Without these you are responsible for making sure the page names are unique and have no bad letters in them. Without a title, nothing is displayed in the treeview for each item's name.

To enable you pages to be useable in the installer for root/start nodes, make sure you add:

    Installer = InstallerHint.PreferredRootPage
    Installer = InstallerHint.PreferredStartPage

in the Definition Attribute, e.g.

    [Definition("Basic page", "BasicPage","A simple page with a chunk of text","The tooltip",1, Installer = InstallerHint.PreferredStartPage)]

All attributes available:

    AllowedChildren
    AllowedZones
    AvailableZone
    Definition
    ItemAuthorizedRoles
    RestrictParents
    Template
    WithEditable - sets a detail as editable so parent class properties that aren't editable can be.
    WithEditableChild
    WithEditableDateRange
    WithEditableName
    WithEditablePublishedRange
    WithEditableTitle

Example usage:

    [AllowedChildren(typeof(BasicPage))]
    [AllowedZones("zone name")]
    [AvailableZone("title","zone name")]
    [Definition("title","name",Description="description",SortOrder=1,ToolTip="tooltip", Installer = InstallerHint.PreferredRootPage)]
    [ItemAuthorizedRoles("role name1","role name")]
    [RestrictParents(typeof(BasicPage)]
    [Template("~/Custom/Views/BasicPage.aspx")]
    [WithEditable("title",typeof(TextBox),"propertyname",1,"name")]
    [WithEditableChild(typeof(ChildItem),"child name",1)]
    [WithEditableDateRange("Date range title",2,"start date","end date")]
    [WithEditableName("title",1])
    [WithEditablePublishedRange("Available between",3)]
    [WithEditableTitle("title",2)]
    public class MyItem : ContentItem {}
