Your Umbraco 13 series is a gift from God! It is so difficult to pull all of this together from other sources and you have done a fantastic job with all of this. Thank you again from Michigan!
Hi. It’s great to hear from you in Turkey. I’ve been to Turkey on holiday twice now and I think the Turkish people are the friendliest and most welcoming. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
You mentioned that you had an opinon on the usage of ModelsBuilder. I have worked on some sites where they use ModelsBuilder, whereas some sites/agencies prefer not to use the Models Builder, but to use their own. Mainly as it gives the developer greater control on how property fallback values are used, and also to ensure base models can be inhereit from. e.g simpleblock.cs - > standardblock.cs - > StandardBlockWithExtraThing.cs What is your preferred approach?
I prefer to use ModelsBuilder nowadays. If I need to do anything out of the norm I can get the IPublishedContent and use that instead. Using ModelsBuilder makes upgrades so much easier as the views can nearly stay the same. I like to keep the same namespace that Umbraco generates and I don’t like to generate them in a separate project. Also source code manual for the win.
Yes because it opens it up at a specific location in the tree rather than the user having to navigate the picker through the tree just to get to the items they want to select
