Dashboard in my custom section
Hello,

I use Umbraco V6.2.5. I developed a custom section that is almost a copy of the listing of members. In this section, I would like to display a tab with a custom control as the tabs " Get Started" , "Last Edits " ... of the "Content " section. So I was in the configuration file " Dashboard.config " and I added the following code :
```
<section alias="DashboardExtractionMembres">
<areas>
      <area>member</area>
      <area>membresDepApp</area>
</areas>
<tab caption="Extraction Membres">
  <control>/usercontrols/GNI/ExtractionMembres.ascx</control>
</tab>
```
This for when I go into my section , I just have a blank page in the right side and no tab. I have my tab in the "member" section but not in my "membresDepApp" section. Ideas for where is my problem?

I have the same type of configuration in my file "Dashboard.config", "tree.config" and "application.config" but my frame rigth is empty... My problem can be just a bad configuration of my custom section ? ...

What happen if you remove the member area from the areas element?

So turn
```
<areas>
      <area>member</area>
      <area>membresDepApp</area>
</areas>
```
into
```
<areas>
      <area>membresDepApp</area>
</areas>
```

Nothing in my custom section, but in the member section, my custom Dashboard disappears.

Ok and you are 100% sure about the name of the area?

Declaration in tree.config :

  <add initialize="true" sortOrder="0" alias="MembresDepTree" application="membresDepApp" title="Membres Département" iconClosed=".sprTreeFolder" iconOpen=".sprTreeFolder_o" type="Membres.MembresDepTree, Membres" />

Declaration in application.config :

<add alias="membresDepApp" name="MembresDepApp" icon="icon-wand" sortOrder="7" />

Declaration in Dashboard.config :

<section alias="DashboardExtractionMembres">
<areas>
  <area>membresDepApp</area>
</areas>
<tab caption="Extraction Membres">
  <control>/usercontrols/ExtractionMembres.ascx</control>
</tab>

Long shot but maybe try lowercasing membresDepApp ? You might have found a bug...

Yeah seems like it's been reported some years ago, can be frustrating as you found out :)
