Using a ContentArea dojo widget inside custom dojo widget - PLEASE HELP

Vote:
 

Hey All,

I'm currently using the episerver version 7.5 (UI 7.12) - We are trying to create a custom dojo editor for a property and are trying to add a bunch of content area widgets inside this.  What we are seeing is, the content area widget loads and appears to work correctly however when we try and drag a block or page over to the content area, the block being dragged does not appear as if it is allowed to be dropped (it never highlights, always stays dimmed) however, when we click the create a new block link, and create one, it auto adds to this contentarea widget and allows us to re-arrange and remove them properly. 

Anyone have any ideas why the drag and drop is not working with the widget?  Thinking it might be a wrapper/container issue but we've tried everything and cannot figure out if there is a surrounding widget or mixin i need to have in my dojo editor js.  Thanks

Mike

Help not needed... I figured this out shortly after posting!

So instead of declaratively instantiating the dojo widget for the Content Area, i decided to programatically instantiate it and set the Allowed Types property and VOILA it works:

var topLeftContentAreaEditor = new ContentAreaEditor({
     allowedTypes: ["phoenixcore.openframework.interfaces.iopenframeworkblocktype"],
     allowedDndTypes: ["phoenixcore.openframework.interfaces.iopenframeworkblocktype"]
});
