    Custom section does not show among the other tray icons

    Hi,

    I have tried to follow the steps in Emanuel Gaspars guide for creating Custom Sections in the umbraco backoffice(http://www.geckonewmedia.com/blog/2009/8/3/how-to-create-a-custom-section-in-umbraco-4).

    However, the trayicon does not show.

    This is what I have added to the database:

    To umbracoApp table:

    9, mysiteStats, .traystats, MysiteStats, NULL

    Note: As you see I have choosen to use the already created ".traystats" since it satisfies my needs.

    To umbracoAppTree table

    False, True, 0, mysiteStats, mysiteStats, MysiteStats, .sprTreeFolder, .sprTreeFolder_o, MyAssembly, loadStatistics, NULL

    To umbracoUser2app

    0, mysiteStats

     

    Then I have configured the  en language file with and sections now look like this

    <area alias="sections">
        <key alias="content">Content</key>
        <key alias="media">Media</key>
        <key alias="member">Members</key>
        <key alias="newsletters">Newsletters</key>
        <key alias="users">Users</key>
        <key alias="settings">Settings</key>
        <key alias="developer">Developer</key>
        <key alias="mysiteStats">MysiteStats</key>
        <key alias="courier">Courier</key>
        <key alias="concierge">Concierge</key>
        <key alias="translation">Translation</key>
        <key alias="installer">Umbraco Configuration Wizard</key>
        <key alias="statistics">Statistics</key>
      </area>

     I have tried to restart the IIS but that didnt help either.

    Did you remember to enable the new section for your user? (Umbraco users section)

    The problem is that it does not even show up in the list of sections!

    I have had the same problems my self. On one site this worked without any changes from my side in the database and on an other site I had to make changes to the database.

    Do you know why this is not done automaticaly ??

    Hey Arno,

    Welcome to the forum!

    I'm not sure but possibly because you need to restart the site for the custom section to appear in the list after it's been added.
