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.
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.
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).

Vendr Checkout uses this approach.

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.
