Using Tree controls outside of custom backoffice sections
Is it possible to use the TreeControl in Umbraco as a standalone control (without having it in a custom back-office section). I need to build a directory/image browser using a tree like control, but my images and directories are stored externally from Umbraco. As such I want to use something that looks very similar to the tree control used everywhere in Umbraco but without any ties to umbraco database tables or the Media library. If you can't use it completely detached, is there a third party plugin the umbraco tree control is based on?
Hi. I'm not sure about using the TreeControl itself as-is (I have no clue to what extent it's generic and customisable for particular needs outside the umbraco backoffice), but afaik it's completely based on the jQuery jsTree plugin which is documented here: http://www.jstree.com/. I think you could just reuse the same files of this plugin that umbraco does - they reside in the ~/umbraco_client/Tree folder.
