Custom pages
The Custom Pages chapter is divided into multipe parts, starting with the dashboard.
The dashboard of a custom section is different compared to ‘regular’ custom pages,
since it comes with some default markup and it has some configuration tucked away in
config/Dashboard.config. More details about Dashboards can be read here.
To get data into the dashboards, and any other page, you need to set up angular in
your custom section. It starts by setting up a package.manifest to include any javascript
and css files into Umbraco. After that, you can use anything Angular 1.1.5 provides to
create a fully working custom section. More can be read here.
Next, we set up the search formatter for displaying the search results correctly, and having the context menu’s working correctly. After that, set up custom notifications and custom dialogs.
Finally, with all these parts in place, we can build the actual working parts of the custom section by adding controllers and pages.
