SplatDev.Umbraco.Plugins.AdPreview 1.0.4

AdPreview

AdPreview is an Umbraco property editor for building a small image advertisement and seeing its final presentation while editing content. It preserves the original AdPreview property-editor alias and JSON fields (img, title, description, url, tooltip, referrer, css, overlay) used by the v7/v8 package.

Install

Install SplatDev.Umbraco.Plugins.AdPreview into an Umbraco 17 site. The package also carries the Umbraco 13 target for existing installations.

Create a property using the Ad Preview property editor schema. Edit the ad inline, save it, and publish the content as usual. The editor currently accepts an image URL; a future iteration can add the native media picker without changing the stored contract.

Value

The persisted value is JSON with the stable original field names. overlay controls whether title and description are rendered over the image. Preview links open in a new tab when url is provided.

Changelog

1.0.4 — 2026-08-27

Adds the umbraco-marketplace tag. Without it the package never appears on the Umbraco Marketplace at all, however complete its listing is - and this was the only package in the estate with a marketplace manifest and backoffice assets that was missing the tag.

1.0.3 — 2026-08-27

The NuGet listing now shows the property editor, with a sample ad in it. Verified against a real install: a data type bound to this editor, a document type using it and a document all create successfully, which was not possible before 1.0.2 registered the editor server-side.

1.0.2 — 2026-08-27

The property editor can now actually be used. Its alias was declared only in umbraco-package.json, with no server-side counterpart, so creating a data type with it failed and it could never be attached to a document type - the package shipped an editor nothing could reach. Umbraco 17 only: the package ships no AngularJS view for Umbraco 13.

1.0.1 — 2026-08-26

The package icon was a 795x447 banner, so the Umbraco Marketplace - which renders icons at 64x64 - letterboxed it against every other card. It is now a 128x128 icon in the same house style as the rest of the SplatDev packages.

Fixes a duplicate registration on sites that still have a physical App_Plugins folder for this plugin, left behind by an older release that copied content into the site. Umbraco registered those extensions twice - once from its own scan of the folder, once from this package's embedded manifest - and logged "Extension with alias ... is already registered". The embedded manifest now yields to the physical copy.
