I want to develop a web app using Umbraco. But still haven't understand if I can create something really custom.
As an example,
let's say, I have two children lists (Freelancers) and (Companies). In addition, there is (Contracts) table describing relationship between the two. Each freelancer can be employed at several companies. Each company can hire different freelancers working under contracts which means that one freelancer can have many contracts with certain company, for example, in different time periods.
Is it possible to create in Umbraco something like that?
Yes! It can be done. I am doing it with Real Estate where the relationship is property listings to agents. I would recommend using Visual Studio for developing your dynamic content and frame it within Umbraco.
In your real estate app how can you create view where you select list of Agents - using Visual Studio or within Umbraco?
Is it possible to create checkbox list with the options taken from the Umbraco children node list?
I can put the options manually while creating a document type. But what if want the checkboxlist options to be pulled out from the children listings created in Umbraco?
Let me ask this question. In your situation, are you dealing with less than 100 freelancers and companies or several thousand? In my case, it is several thousand. The agents and listings are stored in database tables and retrieved/matched up using sql queries, Entity Framework and Linq. The lists in Umbraco would not be recommended when that many records are involved.
Theoretically it might be several thousand. Of course, retrieving nodes using Umbraco methods will not work well in case of large number of records. But I'm hoping that Umbraco is smart enough to have something for doing that )) for example, with a kind of picker having Ajax functionality linked to the node/listing. It's a pity if there is no such opportunity
