I'm trying to create a group of custom dashboard boards. I've created a separated class library and referenced it in my Umbraco web project.
namespace Dashboards
{
[Umbraco.Web.Mvc.PluginController("Dashboard")]
[IsBackOffice]
public class WelcomeController : UmbracoApiController
{
public int countPublishedNodes()
{
var contentService = Services.ContentService;
int PublishedNodes = contentService.CountPublished();
return PublishedNodes;
}
}
}
However I'm getting a 404 error when I try and access the method
/umbraco/backoffice/api/Dashboard/Welcome/countPublishedNodes
can anyone see why? do I need to map it in an startup event ?
Hi John,
I've not used the [IsBackOffice] with UmbracoApiController but I've had great success using the UmbracoAuthorizedApiController .
Try the following code:
namespace Dashboard {
[Umbraco.Web.Mvc.PluginController("Dashboard")]
public class WelcomeController : Umbraco.Web.WebApi.UmbracoAuthorizedApiController {
[System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
public int countPublishedNodes() {
var contentService = Services.ContentService;
int PublishedNodes = contentService.CountPublished();
return PublishedNodes;
}
}
}
[HttpGet] is required as by default it's considered a HTTP Post request and will disallow any access. UmbracoAuthorisedApiController will ensure the user is authorized before they make the request.
