    Create masterpage with package

    I'm not very experienced with creating packages but I was wondering if it is possible to create files/masterpages with the use of a usercontrol(loaded after installation of a package).

    I've created a usercontrol wich writes a file to the filesystem, which is running fine when not used as a package. When I load the usercontrol after installation of the package, nothing happens. So, I'm wondering if it'sis possible and if so, what am I missing and where can I find more information about fireing events in the usercontrol after package installation.

    Hi Folkert,

    Try this:

    using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template;

    public partial class MyUserControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl {
        protected void Page_Load() {
            if (!IsPostBack) {
                Template mytemplate = Template.MakeNew("myNewTemplateName", User.GetUser(0)); /* This is the root admin user */
        }
    }

    You can then use the Template members to add your masterpage code. See the Umbraco API documentation for full details (namespace umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template).

    HTH,

    Benjamin

    Hey Folkert,

    No worries - it's cause the templates are also stored in the DB, creating them on the filesystem isn't enough - Umbraco doesn't implement a FileSystemWatcher on the ~/masterpages folder.

    Best,

    Benjamin
