This works to a point, however it seems that the 'rightAction' parameter is relative to /umbraco (so the above tries to load /umbraco/customPage)
My custom section is outside of the /umbraco directory, thinking about it not sure if this is best practice? I could move it in but was just trying to keep a clean structure to make for simple upgrades.
Beside this I think it's a good idea to put your custom section in the /umbraco folder. That's were I always place it, because it's part of the umbracoReservedPaths by default.
Thanks for the link, I was actually going to reply to that thread it already solved the other problem I had which was linking back from the custom section to the content section :)
For this, I'll move the custom section into the Umbraco folder and my link should work fine too.
Linking to custom section from content tree
Hi,
Is there a way of directly linking to a specific page within a custom section?
My URL of the custom section page is something like this:
/customSection/customPage.aspx?customid=10
I can add items to the content tree ok, it's the next bit I'm struggling with.
Obviously I would like to maintain this custom page within the Umbraco UI.
Many thanks
Rich
I made some progress with this
http://web/umbraco/umbraco.aspx?app=myAppAlias&rightAction=customPage&customid=10#myAppAliasThis works to a point, however it seems that the 'rightAction' parameter is relative to /umbraco (so the above tries to load /umbraco/customPage)

Hello,
Maybe this is useful: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/11059-Deeplink-Umbraco-backend. With this can link to another page in the backend and the tree on the left also syncs. I haven't tried this with a custom section, but it did work with linking to a node in the media section.
Beside this I think it's a good idea to put your custom section in the /umbraco folder. That's were I always place it, because it's part of the umbracoReservedPaths by default.

Might not be the cleanest but I realised that I could have always added a custom redirect page, something like Umbraco/plugins/customRedirect
