    Dashboard in my custom section

    API Questions
    Umbraco 6

    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.

    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 :)
