Looking for some advice on how to edit complex content in in the back office. I'm very experienced with .NET, MVC and Razor but something of a novice with Umbraco.
The content is a collection of timetables (rail) and some rules to say which one applies on a given date.
I am currently storing each timetable in a row in a SQL Server table, and the timetable data is stored as JSON - each timetable about 700-1000 lines of it. I am storing a year's worth of rules in another table, also as JSON.
I can envisage how I might write the necessary pages (not using Angular.js!), but not how I'd integrate this into Umbraco. At the moment, I haven't even fathomed out how to invoke a controller derived from UmbracoAuthorizedController.

Any hints on how best to structure this?
Sounds like a perfect use-case for Fluidity => https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/fluidity/
Unfortunately fluidicity does not work on V8
My fault - missed the umbraco8 tag!
I'm sure it will eventually be ported across...
is working on a reply...
