I need to replace an old application that is used to manage links to external websites, which we display on one of our Umbraco pages. It's pretty simple, just a category, site name and URL.
I'm at a crossroads. I could rewrite this as a .NET application. Or, I could create this in Umbraco. If we were on version 7 (just not yet) I could use Nested Content or Archetype. However, we are still on version 6.
I could use Repeatable Custom Content v2 as I have for similar things in the past. However, how much work will it be for someone to take all those links and convert them to Nested Content next year? Is there a better solution other than just creating the links as a standard document type and using XSLT to display them?
