Create a bug tracker application
The Bug Tracker application visualizes projects and bugs that are related to these projects. The application enables you to log a new bug from the frontend. The application uses a custom module that you create with the Module Builder. You create a hierarchical structure for the content items to represent projects and their bugs. The Bug Tracker application uses the MVC and Razor web pages for the visualization of the projects and the bugs.
GITHUB EXAMPLE: Download the sample BugTracker project from Sitefinity GitHub repository » BugTracker sample application.
