    Extend existing Umbraco directive

    Hi community,

    is it possible to extend an existing Umbaco directive?

    The one I wish to extend is the umb-node-preview with an extra property called allow-preview and a property which will be executing a function called on-preview.

    Then finally also a new property called asignto which will be a user from the backoffice.

    Is this even possible? I don't want to complete create my own directive because 80% works with the existing umbraco umb-node-preview directive.

    Thanks in advance!

    That may be able to help you.

    Mind you, I haven't looked in to the specific directive to see if its build like that.

    Ok after searching in the source code, I found that this directive has another property called allow-open and a callback on-open so I used this.

    https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/dev-v7/src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/common/directives/components/umbnodepreview.directive.js

    For the asignto property I passed this through with the description property.

    I see you already tackled your issue.

    But maybe a good read anyways : http://skrift.io/articles/archive/changing-backoffice-functionality-without-changing-core-code/

    Thanks Dave! Didn't know it was possible for also extending controllers so that you can use the core controller functions from Umbraco.
