Visibility of custom folder for cshtml views

[JJong-nl]

I have a component that when saving is creating a custom cshtml view in the folder views/mycustoms/{umbracoid}/{umbracodate}.cshtml

The files are saved but the extra views are not visibile in the part where you see the master / page templates.

It would be nice that all the content in the view folder is visible.

Than also an extra functionality to create/upload files/folders into the wwwroot folder.
For example font files. (css/scripts excluded, already configured in umbraco)

Hi there,
Templates will become visible in the Backoffice only if you create them in the database. You can use the ITemplateService#CreateAsync to do just that. You inject it into your component and create a template model for your newly generated views as soon as they are created. That should make them show up in the master/page templates and template editor.

It is an interesting idea to upload files to Umbraco. You can use the Media Library for quite a bit, including uploading static assets, though I can quickly foresee that becoming cumbersome. I think, historically speaking, having a list of static files on disk and allowing arbitrary uploads is a path towards security breaches. It is not something that we are planning to add to Umbraco.

That being said, feel free to create an upload function of your own that can do so.
