    Registering custom view engine

    I need help, how can I do this in Umbraco 8.

    I am following this tutorial for Umbraco 7 made by Kevin Giszewski.

    using Umbraco.Core;
    
    namespace MyNamespace
    {
        public class RegisterViewEngine : ApplicationEventHandler
        {
            protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication,
                ApplicationContext applicationContext)
            {
                System.Web.Mvc.ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new MyViewEngine());
    
                base.ApplicationStarting(umbracoApplication, applicationContext);
            }
        }
    }

    Hi Josip,

    In order to access similar events in v8, I advise reading this section of the Umbraco documentation: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Events/Application-Startup

    ApplicationEventHandler no longer exists and has been replaced by a new Dependency Injection based mechanism. The docs are really thorough so have a read and I'm sure you'll be able to crack it :-)

    Cheers

    Nik

    Did you ever figure this one out? Looking to solve the same problem in a V10 site.

    Hey Danny,

    You could try adding the view engine in Startup.cs -> ConfigureServices? I don't have a custom view engine to test if it works, though ;-)

    services.AddMvc()
            .AddViewOptions(options =>
                {
                    options.ViewEngines.Add(new MyFancyViewEngine());
                });
