Code samples to extend the user interface

Since the release of EPiServer 7.5, I've been out doing presentations how you can extend the user interface without having to write JavaScript. Today, I've published sample code on EPiServer's GitHub account that shows lots of samples on how you can customize the user interface for EPiServer. The idea is that the code should show common scenarios in a way that is self-explanatory, with comments to guide the functionality. You can view and download it here. This is basically a sum up of lots of different things that I have blogged about since the release of 7.5. Some of the samples that are included:

• Typed property settings
• Built in auto-suggestion editor
• Sample code to restrict access to edit properties
• Enum selection property
• Adding custom editorial views to content types
• Tweaking the settings header
• Restricting what content types can be added to content areas
• Customizing icons and editor behaviour for content types
• Single and multiple selection properties
• Changing the root node for a category property

Please note that the sample code is written with the latest release available as of today. Some functionality works in EPiServer 7, lots was added in EPiServer 7.5 and some has been added in more recent releases.
