Contentment for Umbraco

contentment /kənˈtɛntm(ə)nt/ - a state of happiness and satisfaction

What is it?

This is a collection of Umbraco components that I have developed for use on my own Umbraco implementation projects.

Some components may be innovative, others may be a reimagining of existing components, property-editors, features and other community packages.

Why should I use it?

I'm sharing my code with the world. It is your choice (and responsibility) whether you would like to use it. No pressure or marketing spin from me.

Please do keep in mind that the Contentment for Umbraco package is not a business, it's a hobby project.

What's on offer?

Let's take a look inside...

Property Editors

• Bytes - a read-only label to display file sizes in relative bytes.
• Code Editor - a code snippet editor, (using the ACE library that is bundled with Umbraco).
• Content Blocks - a block editor, configurable using element types.
• Data List - an editor that combines a custom data source with a custom list editor.
• Data Picker - advanced picker editor to query a custom data source.
• Editor Notes - Similar to Notes, with enhanced UI options.
• Icon Picker - an editor to select an icon (from the Umbraco icon library).
• List Items - an editor to manage items with a name, value, icon and description.
• Notes - a read-only label to display rich-text instructional messages for content editors.
• Number Input - a numeric editor, with sizing configurations.
• Render Macro - a read-only label dynamically generated from an Umbraco Macro.
• Social Links - an editor to manage links for social network platforms.
• Templated Label - a display label, ideal for showing data from 3rd-party systems.
• Textbox List - a multi-textstring editor, adds a textbox for each item in a custom data source.
• Text Input - a textstring editor, configurable with HTML5 options.

NuGet package repository

To install from NuGet, you can run the following command from the dotnet CLI:

dotnet add package Umbraco.Community.Contentment

Please note, that the Umbraco.Community.Contentment NuGet package is the main package for ongoing releases. If you are referencing one of the older NuGet packages, e.g. Our.Umbraco.Community.Contentment or Our.Umbraco.Community.Contentment.Core, then please update your package references to use Umbraco.Community.Contentment.

Documentation

Documentation for each of the components - with screenshots, use-cases and code examples - can be found in the /docs folder.

Please note, you may find other components within Contentment that have not yet been documented.
Let's call those "life's little surprises".

Known issues

• Data List
  • When using the Umbraco Content data source with an XPath query, inside a Nested Content or Block List editors, it will not be able to identify the contextual containing node ID. e.g. your XPath query will not work. See #30 for details.
  • When using the Umbraco Content data source with an XPath query that contains a $ prefix parameter, the preview will not display the items. See #120 for details.

Support

I'll try to help the best I can, but I've been doing open source for a long time, and I have suffered my fair share of burnout and empathy fatigue.

I reserve the right to address bug reports or feature requests in my own time, or ignore them completely.

Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. Please keep in mind, I am not your personal support developer.

If you are really stuck, do remember that the Umbraco community is amongst the friendliest on our planet, learn to embrace it. Ask for help on the Our Umbraco support forum, or the Community Discord Server, I am sure someone can help you there.

A note about licensing

Historically, I used the MIT license for my open-source projects, regretfully I no longer feel MIT reflects my spirit of encouraging open source collaboration. The main difference with the Mozilla Public License is that if you make any modifications to the source code and distribute those modifications, then you must make those changes publicly available.

More give, less take.

If you do not to intend to modify the source code, then you will still have the same freedoms as when using the MIT license.
