This isn't possible J. The back office is built on AngularJS and doesn't support cshtml.

@Brendan - Thank you

In that case, I've been searching around for an example where i have a HTML and AngularJS page within the app_plugins folder. It loads as expected and shows the HTML page as per the link.

If i wanted to carry out some codebehind operation such as getting some value from a database or read a config file (which i would use C# for) how would i go about achieving the same?

Oh....any examples you could lead me to so i get an idea of what/where im doing all this? Thx

Thanks, im working my way through and have hit a snag.

When i visit

localhost:1234/umbraco/backoffice/My/PersonApi/GetAll

I initially got an error which was resolved by logging in. I then got an error 'The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'' I surrounded it with [HttpGet]

Now i get HTTP/1.1 417 Missing token

To really narrow this down i decided to create a simple method as below

     [HttpGet]
     public string SayHello()
        {
            return "Hello World";
        }

That too gives the same 417 error. I cleared my cache/history but the same error.

Am i missing something?

Hi

Yes i have seen that thread and nothing really worked on what was mentioned.

Here is the code in a new class library and what im doing. Ive read the threads so have upgraded to Umbraco 7.5 where i feel most bugs were ironed out (Essentially a fresh copy of this install).

using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Web.Editors;

namespace Test
{
    [Umbraco.Web.Mvc.PluginController("Notes")]
    public class HelloController : UmbracoAuthorizedJsonController
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public string SayHello()
        {
            return "Hello World";
        }
    }
}

My URL is

http://localhost/umbraco/backoffice/notes/hello/sayhello

At first i got authentication denied but after logging in that error went away and several attempts later i either see ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED in Chrome or in Fiddler i see

The connection to 'localhost' failed.
Error: ConnectionRefused (0x274d).
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:80

Just working on that error but as soon as Fiddler is closed i see the above

I will leave the above code as is but what got it working was changing

UmbracoAuthorizedJsonController

to

UmbracoAuthorizedApiController

Hopefully this is the correct way!!??

is working on a reply...
