The minimum version of Umbraco for the current package release is v7.1. However until v0.5.2 we did support Umbraco v6 as well as v7.
I think it should be possible for you to create a custom build for v6 but you are going to have issues with dependency conflicts between WindowsAzure.Storage and Umbraco v6 that may be tricky to resolve.
You mean get the UmbracoFileSystemProviders.Azure project from github? I would need the source for umbraco?
We are using umbraco 6.1.6, so wouldn't I need to modify the UmbracoFileSystemProvider.Azure solution by uinstalling the 7.1.9 UmbracoCms.Core package and installing the 6.1.6 UmbracoCms.Core? There would probably be other packages that would need adjustment too, right?
Yes you would have to get it from GitHub and compile it against the v6 binaries otherwise it's not going to run. If I remember correctly NewtonSoft.Json is going to be a problem dependency
I really appreciate the help. While I have you "on the line" I thought I would take a chance and ask one more question - indirectly related. We deploy our application to a "dev" , QA, and production environments using TFS and custom build scripts. The umbraco databases in dev, QA, and production are all slightly different and we want it that way.
So is there a SIMPLE way to deploy umbraco with the custom file service provider? Or will we have to do a manual step where we go into each environment and log into the backoffice - Developer section and install it.
Is is possible to just put the dll in the bin folder and add the configuration to the FileSystemProvider.config (in the config folder)?
will UmbracoFileSystemProviders.Azure. work with umbraco 6.1.6
Has anyone actually set up umbraco 6.1.6 with the custom file system provider, UmbracoFileSystemProviders.Azure?
