Hello everyone,
I’m very new to Umbraco and to this forum. I wonder if you can help me out.
Requirement: Basically, we have an existing site using Umbraco 8. I have a task to implement a simple page that does searching/filtering of an external data set and display the results in a grid/table. Now these results are coming from an api call.
One of the challenges is that the V.S. solution file is no longer available. Past updates for this site were mostly content or UI related and thus they only needed to adjust the view templates which can be done in Umbraco admin. But now they need more functionalities.
Because of the mentioned limitation, it was suggested to explore the option of using umbraco packages for this kind of extension.
Now I have started some reading on how to build and implement the Property Editor (from Mr. Paul Seal) but I’m not sure how to tie this up to the requirement I have above. And most packages I have seen so far, (though I haven’t checked a lot), are updates on the admin side of umbraco and not a something that would appear in the content (there’s a good chance that I’m just missing something).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
