Hola package devs, I'm running a session at Community Day all about v14 and package migration. However, it's proving a difficult topic as I have my work on Workflow, but a lot of that is me making decisions and fiddling around to get things working, which doesn't make for the most interesting subject matter. What I'd much prefer is to be able to answer specific questions about the process, so hoping this channel might be able to provide some... So, package devs, AMA, and I'll endeavour to answer at UCD (new official acronym for Umbraco Community Day, obvs)

Ohh, this is a great idea - so one of my packages adds items to the context menu (additional actions) menu of a node... how do we go about doing that and displaying a dialogue based UI in the new back office?
For context, this is the dialogue that shows in Page Not Found Manager, currently using the Dialogue API functionality
Next question (mainly for an idea I'm pondering)... from a content app / property editor, how do you access (using the context thingy) the owning document/node or other properties
What is the new way of doing things like the Tree Rendering events? Another package of mine adds custom classes to nodes in main document tree for styling. From what I understand these needs to be approached in a very different way now but I've not seen any examples of that.

I have a package which is a todo app. That is a classic for how do I do something in a new technology. I wonder if you can help me get that working in v14 and it might be good for others too

I think bridging the gap between the talk Niels has given on the new UI, and the information needed for package development, could be very useful! His talk was already very indepth, but perhaps things like development workflows, packaging & releasing your new package, stuff like that?

I probably should have prefaced - I have a 25 minute speedy slot

In that case we'll have to ask Callum, Poornima & Henk to host UCD 2 in Februari for part two 😂

Would be intersing to hear what issues you encountered TBH. I started trying to convert but only content was done so I stopped since all of my packages are injecting parts inside the normal Umbraco functionality (menu/ media/ members etc) I wonder if you had the same?
