I'm gonna deploy a custom web template based on a publishing site containing news (pages). I'm extending the content type with some extra fields; preamble, text, picture,
top news, category, etc. I also want to deploy two web parts, one that shows a news list filtered on a web part setting and one that shows a news list filtered on a property in the users profile.
In a farm solution this is super easy and I would be done in a couple of days. But how to do it online??? To deploy a web template I must use a sandboxed solution. But to filter
on a profile property, I must use code. And sandboxed solutions are deprecated which means that I shouldn't do it that way. And I can't really find a good way to implement this as an app since it's not really an app...
How am I supposed to solve this in SharePoint 2013 online? Any good suggestions?
Thanks!
