Umbraco Property Editor Template

This is our starter project for an Umbraco Property Editor.

Process

Click the Use this template button to create a new copy of this repository in your own account. Then clone that new repository down to your local machine and get started:

• Find the src/package.ent file and change the constants in there

• You may want to change a few things in the package.xml and manifest.xml files as well

• Look for TODO, EDITOR_NAME and EDITOR_ALIAS in various files and change accordingly

• Edit/add/remove files in the src/ folder and update the files section in the package.xml file

• Edit the PropertyConverterV(7|8).cs files as well

• Edit this README to describe your new property editor :)

• Create an entry for your new package on Our Umbraco

Developing & Building

On macOS you can run the build.sh script from the terminal, which will build a ZIP file in the dist folder that is installable from Umbraco 8's Packages section or Umbraco 7's Developer > Packages section.

The build script versions the files so it's easier to test the package inside an Umbraco installation by uninstalling the existing version and then installing a new build. Existing data-types keep their data as long as their alias and/or storage type isn't changed.

To update the version number, increment the packageVersion entity in the src/package.ent file.
