    How to create a new "plugin" for Umbraco

    Hi there ! So, I need to create a custom plugin in my umbraco website to create polls and extract data from them.

    Any step-by-step guide/tutorial out there in order to do such a thing? Or did anyone already created any custom plugin and could share the git so I could somehow manage to understand how it's done ? :)

    Any help woud be nice. Thanks guys!

    If you're just wanting to create forms like a poll or anything else, you might want to give Umbraco Forms a look. You can store and access the data or download a CSV. If you're wanting a custom dashboard in the back office, you'll want to start here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Tutorials/Creating-a-Custom-Dashboard/

    There's also this, which I haven't used, but looks to do what you want: https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/qvision-poll-it/

    Check the source code link for details on how to install / render it.

    Thanks Amir,

    Indeed, I need a custom dashboard I think. Things I want to do are verry specific so I'm gonna give pollIt a look !

    In case it does not match my purpose, do you know if I can get the source code of it to see how it's implemented and try to reproduce the thing?

    EDIT : My bad, just saw the source code is linked ahah... Sorry for that, it's late !
