Welcome to the Wysiwg.Umbraco.Community.Extensions wiki!

This package is my approach to get into the new backoffice "Bellissima". Indeed it is overwhelming as a lot of new technologies are involved.

During my exploration I found another approach by Rick Butterfield and his package BlockPreview. BlockPreview reuses the Razor views for the frontend rendering in the backoffice.

Currently I am not sure how much time I shall invest into my approach and where the advantages might be. I definitely like the idea of reused modules as we all have not the time and technical skills to to do a job twice and keep it up to date. Therefore I like to proceed with another approach. I shall build a solution which will reuse the backoffice web components in the frontend. This gives developers with focus on frontend technologies the opportunity to stick with their tech stack. May be this will enable a new way of editing directly in the frontend - ideally in place.

Fix for Umbraco version 15.4.0

On pages where you use the WYSIWG BlockGrid you need to enable Vary by Culture and Vary by Segment.

Version 15.4.0 of this package adds a new update option for the content elements like Headline, _Paragraph _and Cropped Picture This was necessary, because Umbraco has removed the Vary by segment setting from element types and does not remove these during update.

Errata

In release 15.3.0-beta the setup instructions are not complete!
