Implementing Context Menu Item for Content Types in Umbraco 14
I need to upgrade an existing Umbraco 13 website to Umbraco 14. One of the significant changes in Umbraco 14 is the introduction of a new backoffice, which requires modifications to existing backoffice extensions.
In my project, I use custom menu items that are tied to specific content types in the content section. In Umbraco 13, I implemented this functionality using the code below. However, the registration of these menu items has changed in Umbraco 14.
Based on the official documentation, it appears I need to register a "Sidebar Context Menu" in Umbraco 14. Unfortunately, I haven't found a clear example that demonstrates how to replicate the functionality I had in Umbraco 13 using the new approach.
I’m looking for a complete example or guidance on how to achieve this in Umbraco 14. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the code I used in Umbraco 13:
public class BackofficeMenu : IComposer
{
public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
{
builder.AddNotificationHandler<MenuRenderingNotification, MenuRenderingNotificationHandler>();
}
}
public class MenuRenderingNotificationHandler : INotificationHandler<MenuRenderingNotification>
{
private readonly IPublishedContentQueryAccessor _publishedContentQueryAccessor;
public MenuRenderingNotificationHandler(IPublishedContentQueryAccessor publishedContentQueryAccessor)
{
_publishedContentQueryAccessor = publishedContentQueryAccessor;
}
public void Handle(MenuRenderingNotification notification)
{
if (notification.TreeAlias == "content")
{
_publishedContentQueryAccessor.TryGetValue(out var publishedContentQuery);
var content = publishedContentQuery?.Content(notification.NodeId);
if (content != null && content.ContentType.Alias == "frontpage")
{
var smsMessageMenuItem = new MenuItem("smsMessageMenuItem", "SMS messages");
smsMessageMenuItem.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/path/to/my/custom/view");
notification.Menu.Items.Add(smsMessageMenuItem);
}
}
}
}

Here is the code I used in Umbraco 13:
With Umbraco 14, the implementation can be done using "Entity Actions". You can find an example on this feature and more information about it in documentation: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/customize-the-backoffice/extending-overview/extension-types/entity-actions.
