Umbraco - use Image Cropper as parameter Type in Macro

Question

I'm using Umbraco 7.4.3 and want to use an Image Cropper data type as a property editor for a Macro. The list of Types presented under the Parameters tab on the Macro does not contain my data type however.

How can I add my custom data type to that list?

Answer 1

for most default plugins on Umbraco, you just need to add a line in their package.manifest file which is in app_plugin>"addons name">package.manifest

and then add this line

isParameterEditor: true,

so the file will be like this:

{
    propertyEditors: [
        {
        alias: "some name",
        name: "some name",
        **isParameterEditor: true,**
.....
