    Custom Property Editor from Tutorial

    Hi

    I'm following the tutorial from the docs on how to create a custom property editor

    I have made it to the last part – part 4 and more specific the section "Setup ApiController routes"

    Unfortunately it seems that the page haven't been updated to use dotnet core. When I compile the project, I get errors about the namespaces:

    using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;
using Umbraco.Web.Editors;
using Umbraco.Core.Persistence;
using Umbraco.Core.Scoping;

    I have tried searching around in the forum to see if there was anyone who have tried the same as me, but no luck.

    I'm a newbie in building my own stuff in dotnet and right here, i'm pretty stuck! :)

    Can anyone help me with updating the code or point me in the right direction about how to do it?

    Any help is appreciated :)

    That step should probably be

    using Umbraco.Cms.Web.BackOffice.Controllers;
using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Attributes;

namespace My.Controllers
{
    [PluginController("My")]
    public class PersonApiController : UmbracoAuthorizedJsonController
    {
        // we will add a method here later
    }
}

    Thanks Huw!

    Unfortunately it now results in the error "The type or namespace name 'Web' does not exist in the namespace 'Umbraco'"

    I have no clue why or what to do, can you help me out?

    Are you using Visual Studio?

    If so does your project look similar to this
