Flat taxon field
The sfFlatTaxonField
directive enables you to select and create taxa by typing their name in a text box. When you type a taxon's name, it is added next to other selected taxa. You can remove any selected taxa by clicking on their X button or by pressing Backspace on your keyboard. If you type a name of a taxon that does nt exist, it is automatically created in Sitefinity.

Sitefinity CMS automatically registers the scripts you need and, if no other designer view with explicitly set priority exists, Sitefinity CMS sets your designer view priority 1. In case you need to have full control over the scripts that are loaded or you want to set custom priority, you can alternatively create your own
DesignerView.YourView.json
file. If you have a JSON
file that matches the convention (even if empty), this automatic scripts registration will not occur. In the DesignerView.YourView.json
file, add the path to the following files located in the scripts
array:
- Sitefinity CMS automatically finds all AngularJS modules you rely on and references the widget designer to them. In case you rely on custom AngularJS modules or have logic that needs an AngularJS controller, you can create your own
designerview-<yourview>.js
file. If you have a .js
file that matches the convention (even if empty), this automatic modules referencing will not occur. In your designerview-yourview.js
file, right before the definition of your custom view controller, place the following code snippet:
-
In your
DesignerView.YourView.cshtml
file, place the following tag where you want to render the sfFlatTaxonField
directive:
