    How do you make Umbraco Package that installs via Nuget and also creates/updates doctypes, datatype and content

    Hello,

    I just like to inquire how to accomplish this via Umbraco 8. Basically I need to install via nuget package and that install process must also create/update doctypes, datatypes, and content.

    Thanks in advance,

    Francis

    Hi One way to achieve this is for the NuGet package to install the files and a dashboard and on that dashboard you have a button which create the doc types, data types content and media.

    Vendr Checkout uses this approach.

    Oh wow Mr. Paul Seal! First off, I learned from your Youtube videos so thank you a lot.

    Thank you for this suggestion. I'll definitely check "Vendr Checkout".

    Yeah on one of the threads I think it was suggested to checkout this "Articulate" package too and from what they say, it is installed the same way (Nuget + Dashboard). So yesterday I started looking at how to create document types programmatically using ContentType services. Baby steps. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole process. Perhaps there's a video about it somewhere.

    Our ultimate goal is: 1.) To be able to install our custom plugins via Nuget package (including the setup of required document/data/ content types) 2.) To be able to update these packages (add properties perhaps) in the future without the need to uninstall the package (and potentially mess up the existing contents).

    I appreciate your time.

    Hi Francis I’m glad you found the tutorial videos useful.

    Yeah baby steps are the way. Here’s a link to a file in the articulate package that you can learn a lot from.
