AdminBar

Fixed admin bar for Umbraco — injects a toolbar at the top of front-end pages for logged-in backoffice users with Edit Page, Preview, and Publish shortcuts.

AdminBar dashboard

NuGet

Compatibility

Umbraco .NET Package Version
13.x 8.0 2.0.0
17.x 10.0 2.0.0

Installation

dotnet add package SplatDev.Umbraco.Plugins.AdminBar

Quick Start

Register in Program.cs:

builder.CreateUmbracoBuilder()
    .AddBackOffice()
    .AddWebsite()
    .AddAdminBar()   // <-- add this
    .Build();

Configuration

Add to appsettings.json:

{
  "AdminBar": {
    "Enabled": true,
    "ShowEditPage": true,
    "ShowPreview": true,
    "ShowPublish": true,
    "Position": "top"
  }
}

Usage

After registration, the admin bar automatically appears at the top of every front-end page when a backoffice user is logged in. The bar provides:

  • Edit Page — navigates to the backoffice content editor for the current page
  • Preview — toggles preview mode for unpublished content
  • Publish — publishes the current page directly from the front-end

Known Limitations

  • Admin bar visibility is determined by backoffice authentication cookies — no separate authorization mechanism
  • Publish action bypasses Umbraco's workflow/approval if one is configured
  • Position customization (top vs bottom) requires the Position config key

Changelog

2.3.1 — 2026-08-24

Package metadata only: the listing now carries an icon and search tags, and the project and repository links point at the organisation that actually hosts this code. No code changes.

2.3.0 — 2026-08-23

The Razor view behind @await Component.InvokeAsync(...) is now compiled into the package. It was previously carried as a loose file that nothing packed, so the component threw "view not found" on every install and the front-end usage shown in this README could not have worked.

The view also still referenced the package's pre-rename namespace, so it would not have compiled even had it shipped. That is fixed, and the view is now built with the project — a broken view fails the build instead of failing a visitor's request.
