Support for Umbraco 15

[EddieDemon]

I just updated to Umbraco 14 and noticed an error which did not exist before Umbraco 14. Now this error only shows itself when I add Articulate (truth being it's the only additional package I added.) I'm unsure why this happens, since you always have Umbraco.Cms.Api.Delivery and Umbraco.Cms.Api.Management. Only when Articulate is added it becomes an issue.

I'm some what sure it's me, but I would love someone else to look over this.

error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Umbraco.Extensions.UmbracoBuilderExtensions.AddBackOffice(Umbrac o.Cms.Core.DependencyInjection.IUmbracoBuilder, System.Action<Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IMvcBuilder>?)' and 'Umbraco.Extensions.UmbracoBuilderExtensions.AddBackOffice(Umbraco.Cms.Core.Dependenc yInjection.IUmbracoBuilder, System.Action<Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IMvcBuilder>?)'

Now, to reproduce:

dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates
dotnet new umbraco
dotnet add package Articulate
dotnet build

'Umbraco.Cms.Web.Backoffice' was deprecated for version 14 as was Smidge, v5 not compatible with Umbraco 14 currently.

[Shazwazza]

Yeah, I've not tried Smidge with v14. It clearly needs some updates and another major version.

There's plenty of UI in Articulate for the back office so that will need a big overhaul and I have no experience doing any UI stuff for Umbraco 14. If anyone wants to help migrate the codebase to work, that would be wonderful. Unfortunately it took a very long time to get the last update working with Umbraco 10, this one for UI might take a while too :(

When I last looked at this backend of 2024 I did not have any issue with updating core, Management API's and Themes amends, but encountered issues with basic routing (might have been something I missed or mistakes), so did not proceed with reworked back office.

I have some time on my hands, so happy to get back in to this and for the Umbraco 14/15+ version, is there anything already done on this I can assist with else I can get started on with a new umbraco-extension package?

[Shazwazza]

@gavinfaux yes!!!! That would be amazing. Basically most things all work, it's just there's a lot is UI components in articulate for the back office that all need to be migrated to the new back office UI framework. There's a few other features that haven't been fully ported over to v13+ but the main thing preventing compact with v14+ is the UI stuff.

If you know the magic sauce to get that done or even make a start, that would be absolutely fantastic 🎉

What do you think about replacing the markdown editor package you added with the built in one in v16?

https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/markdown-editor

or perhaps

https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/jcdcdev.umbraco.extendedmarkdowneditor

Then the only custom control seems like it would be the theme picker.

[Shazwazza]

The reason there was a custom md editor was to fix the old broken one. More than happy to use the new/existing one if it works.

Hi all, I've updated the title here to be more specific. We don't really care about v14 right now, but v15 we do.

I've pushed a branch/PR which does 'build' but needs lots of work, see #455

Any help is much appreciated, see the info in that PR
