Hi all, I'm trying to build a custom section for Umbraco 7. I have found the learning curve to be fairly steep, and the documentation to be fairly hard to find (most resources are small fragments of a solution, assuming deep knowledge of both Umbraco and AngularJS).
which seems to be a fully functioning sample, showcasing a lot of the different stuff needed to make a complete backoffice section.
Some stuff have changed since the sample was created - so I have fixed the manifest (found in the pull request), and changed this:
var node = CreateTreeNode(person.Id.ToString(), queryStrings, person.Name, "icon-user", false);
To this:
var node = CreateTreeNode(person.Id.ToString(), id, queryStrings, person.Name, "icon-user", false);
I followed the instruction in the readme.md
"to install, simply copy the app_code and app_plugins folder to the root of your site, run the people.sql against the current database, and finally restart your website."
But it is not entirely clear to me what I should be seeing? I was hoping for a custom section - but I can't see any IApplication code for that. Where should the TreeController appear?
Any other similar resources on how to make custom backend stuff for Umbraco 7 would also be highly appreciated by the way.
Ok, found it now. It was actually working, but neither the readme.md or the slides.md mentioned that this was integrated as a part of the "Settings" section...
Regarding the angular JS Demo I think I got about as far as realising that the drink and detox html files were in the wrong place, and at one instance I did actually get them to amend the avatar on the user when clicked. I think that's as far as I got tho.
I've popped the files from my build into bitbucket so you can have a play. I've not included the database, shout if you want it.
In the end I pretty much gave up on the angular demo, and a very helpful dev pointed me at this, which I used to build my new custom section with tree.
Getting the UKFest sample to work
Hi all,
I'm trying to build a custom section for Umbraco 7. I have found the learning curve to be fairly steep, and the documentation to be fairly hard to find (most resources are small fragments of a solution, assuming deep knowledge of both Umbraco and AngularJS).
I finally stumpled upon this

which seems to be a fully functioning sample, showcasing a lot of the different stuff needed to make a complete backoffice section.

Hello,
This topic might help: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/48392-Custom-Dashboard-(UkFest-AngularJS-Demo)

Thanks. I have fixed the URL's, but I wasn't seeing any errors before (and I still don't).
Maybe this is obvious, but.....: How will the plugin show itself once I get it working?
What version of Umbraco are you using? Like I mentioned in the solution there is some heavy cache which you need to clear first.

Anyway - thanks for your suggestions.
On a related note. Has anyone noticed some missing pages in the ukfest package?
Clicking on the drink/detox buttons is giving me a 404 on the following pages.
apps_plugins/people/backoffice/peopletree/drink.html and detox.html at the same location.
Looking in the github I notice these files aren't there either. What gives?
@Shaun - I'm trying to do the same thing as you ... I've started making a list of steps here:

Have you got any further than me yet?
Hi Steve
Regarding the angular JS Demo I think I got about as far as realising that the drink and detox html files were in the wrong place, and at one instance I did actually get them to amend the avatar on the user when clicked. I think that's as far as I got tho.
I've popped the files from my build into bitbucket so you can have a play. I've not included the database, shout if you want it.

I can give you the code for that too, but it's for a client site, so I'd need to anonymise it first, hence no bitbucket. Again, shout if you need it.
is working on a reply...
