Replacement for deprecated property editor 'Nested Content'? #76

Closed GreyGhostStudio closed 1 year ago

GreyGhostStudio commented 1 year ago

There is a workaround for v11 ("ShowDeprecatedPropertyEditors": true) but from what I've read in v13 it will be gone completely. Are there plans to migrate this package away from the Nested Content editor? Or maybe there already is a way and I just missed it in the docs?

Thanks for all the work on this package and for offering it to the community. I'm coming from the Sitecore world and stumbled across this. It makes page construction for authors a breeze. 1000x better than Sitecore's experience editor.

Thank you for the kind words ❤️

Yes. The current plans are to migrate the underlying tech from NestedContent to BlockEditor which is the new tech built in to Umbraco that powers both the BlockList and BlockGrid editors and can be used by us for a ContentBlocks v2 as well that runs on v13+. v13 should also include the new backoffice which requires a rewrite of the AngularJS code too so all of this will be combined and a new version should be released around the time v13 is launched.

Great news! We'll use the workaround and watch the roadmap as Umbraco, and its community continue innovating. Thanks again.

For those wondering.. add the following element to your appsettings.json: { "Umbraco": { "CMS": { "Content": { "ShowDeprecatedPropertyEditors": true } } } }
