Tried this

Uncaught ReferenceError: userService is not defined

What do I need to add to my js?

Thanks

I was hiding within the editor so didn't have a issue. You need to add the userService to your function to be injected

function myFunction($rootScope, $scope, userService) {

How about https://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/backoffice-tweaking/

Sorry for being dense, but I am trying to get to grips with this stuff.

I tried putting this in my js file mentioned in the package.manifest

alert('Yes, this happens');

angular.module("umbraco")
   .controller(
        "test",
        function($rootScope,$scope,userService){
            userService.getCurrentUser().then(function (user) { 
                alert('Test 1 ' + user.userType);
            });

            $scope.onEnd = function(){
                    $timeout(function(){
                        userService.getCurrentUser().then(function (user) { 
                            alert('Test 2 : ' + user.userType);
                        });
                    })
            }
        }
    );

'Yes, this happens' popped up, but neither of the other alerts fired - I tried putting breakpoints in developer tools but it looks like the controller doesn't trigger .

I have created custom property editors and the controller triggers there - not sure why this one doesn't?

Assuming you have a view that utilises the controller?

How do you add a view : I have done it in custom property editors eg

{
    propertyEditors:[
        {
            alias: "testEditor",
            name: "testEditor",
            valueType:"JSON",
            editor:{ 
                view:"~/App_Plugins/myEditor/testEditor.html"
            },
...

but this is for a plugin for the whole page not just a property editor : can I just add

{
view:"~/App_Plugins/test/test.html",
javascript:[
        '~/App_Plugins/test/test.js'
    ]
}

All I want to do is have some javascript/css on every document editing form that has access to the userService - which I think (from what you have said) means I need to use angularjs and a controller.

It wouldn't be tied to any property editor.

Does that make any sense?

Ok, got it. So you can get your js loading up via a package.manifest but you need a view to bind the controller, only way I think you can do that is to add/hack it into a existing core view, likely just needs to be a single div with ng-controller

Maybe something like /Umbraco/Views/Content/edit.html

I'm gonna try this.

Thanks again.
