butler's Issues

Add Markdown parser

Favicon and Title-tag

ButlerEntity - Auto Generated ID

When we have APi's to fetch entities depending on properties / type (instead of ID), we should be able to auto generate ID's since they are perhaps not specified by the developer when feching data.

A Guid.ToString() should suffice.

Use DisplayAttribute instead of DisplayName

.NET 4 gives us the DisplayAttribute and can handle localization.

Tags property on ButlerEntity

So that we can have a BackendUI that can show all Entities that belongs to a Tag. That way we could group different entities together for easy navigation/viewing in backend editor

Simple Membership support

Add user support using .NET's Simple Membership

ButlerDocument, should implement DocumentStore

and inherit from butlerentity

Solve dynamic DB-context

We need to have a context / repository that is generic / dynamic.

We need to be able to add a extended Unit model and have it readable by our API.

Delete documents from UI

publish prerelease package to official nuget repo

New Baseclass, ButlerEntity

Should have following properties:

• ID, string
• Tags, List
• abstract StorageEngine

In the future, this class could be used to add authorization to content changes by e.g.

• Roles, List
  so that we can match against Current.Identity.Roles

Basic BackendDesign

Use Foundation4 to create a basic usable backend design

Sexier UI

Add Getting Started Instructions to .readme

• Install Package
• Alter Global.asax

Include MemoryCache at StoreLevel

New Baseclass, Multilingual

Will store the same document but in multiple languages. Could offer automatic translation from BING/Google API's

Create Nuget Package

Add content to dashboard

Account management

Make Editor friendlier

Create Store Interface

All stores should implement a IStorageEngine so that we can replace the actual storage without changing anything else.

We should be able to switch to a faster store, perhaps SQL or Nosql instead of pure file IO if we want to have better performance finding things depending on properies.

If we only offer FileStorage advanced selects will be slow. One way to perform it with Files is to load all files and then parse the models in memory. Will not be fast for large collections.

Basic styling for whole backend

Style loginpages with messages

Editor for existing Models
