I have a general question and in need an answer with possible examples in order to make a decision. I have a customer who needs an aggregator travel agency site. I would like to use Umbraco 7 but this site requires backoffice extensions. What i would like to ask is:
Can i use razor forms in the backoffice extensions instead of angularJS and how? I don't know AngularJS and i don't have the time to experiment in this. I would like to develop all the backoffice extensions with razor pages. Is that possible and how?
Thank you and i agree with you but for now i need suggestions on how to use razor in backend instead of Angular. As i mention i don't have the time to experiment and search for things in Angular i already know how to do it with razor. So, is there any "how to" in order to use razor instead of Angular in backend extensions?
I did some more searching. And it is possible to create MVC based custom sections. You can find some more information here : http://www.nibble.be/?p=250
But when you have time try to get down and dirty with angular in Umbraco. It makes developing custom sections a lot easier and actually a lot quicker.
I'm no angular expert, never done anything with angular outside umbraco, and I think it's very easy. Just have a look at my code examples earlier. Instructions on how to get them running locally is described on the bitbucket repositories.
Extending Backoffice
Hi,
I have a general question and in need an answer with possible examples in order to make a decision. I have a customer who needs an aggregator travel agency site. I would like to use Umbraco 7 but this site requires backoffice extensions. What i would like to ask is:

This is possible. But I would recommend on using Angular. You don't have to be a angular expert to achieve this.
You can have a look at my code from my DUUG and UmbUKFest talks about the topic :
https://bitbucket.org/dawoe/duugcustomsections

The slides of my DUUG talk can be found on slideshare and contain some usefull links at the end http://www.slideshare.net/dawoe/duug-meetup-custom-sections-v6-vs-v7

You are not going to find much guidance on that.
Custom section in the pre v7 era were meant to built with .NET webforms and usercontrols. In v7 angular is the recommended technology
Hi Thomas,
I did some more searching. And it is possible to create MVC based custom sections. You can find some more information here : http://www.nibble.be/?p=250
Hope this helps you out.

I would like to thank you for the support. I will try to use it (the example is on Umbraco 6) in Umbraco 7 and i will post back the results.
Once again, thanks a lot.

No problem Thomas.

I will take a look because i like the implementation of the TreeController instead of the BaseTree. But how about this? http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/59634-Multilevel-Custom-Tree-Menu
Do you have any suggestions on that problem?
Commented in that post
