Is there a tutorial on how to create Umbraco v4 backoffice extensions

Question

Since the recent announcement that umbraco 5 is discontinued, I have to be work with umbraco 4.7. I need to extend and/or add functionality to the umbraco backoffice. Does anyone know a good tutorial or a forum post on the subject.

Thanks,
Peter

Answer 2

The easiest way to extend Umbraco's functionality is to subscribe to Umbraco events . The Umbraco wiki gives a simple example of how to this. I don't see any specific event for searching. That seems more like a core feature. If you want to get involved with the Umbraco project, you can fork the source and make a pull request with your edits on CodePlex .
