Hi,

This is a known issue, but you can fix it by adding an ID to your nodes before adding them to the tree.  See this post:  http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/11345-Custom-tree-and-section-Text-duplicate-issue#comment41930

Hope this helps,
Tom 

Thanks for you reply.

I dont have any ID-property. I have only NodeId. However, I added a unique string to to .NodeID, but still the same result.

            System.Guid uniqueId;

            uniqueId = System.Guid.NewGuid();

            var courses = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);

            courses.NodeID = uniqueId.ToString();

            courses.Text = "Kurs/Seminarer";

            courses.Action = "javascript:openCourses()";

            courses.Icon = "docPic.gif";

            courses.Menu = null;

            tree.Add(courses);

Also, why doesnt my acutal nodes "Kurs/Seminarer" appear directly under Training, but under EirikTestEirikTest....

Thanks !

Hi,

You should go ahead and add an ID property (in addition to the NodeID) to fix this issue.

I think the reason it shows under Eriktest is because that your app tree's name.  Are you wanting to load nodes dynamically directly under the root?

Also if it helps here are a few tutorials.  The first one really helped me.  It's also helpful to look through the built-in trees in the Umbraco source:

Thanks for your reply Tom,

but this is exactly what I dont understand. I am just following the example in UmbracoTV, and that example works like a charm. How can I add the ID-property? when I write this statement;  var courses = XmlTreeNode.Create(this); there is a limited set of properties already connected. this example from UmbracoTV works perfectly:

while(reader.Read())

            {

                XmlTreeNode xNode = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);

                xNode.NodeID = reader.GetInt("id").ToString();

                xNode.Text = reader.GetString("wrongWord");

                xNode.Icon = "doc3.gif";

                xNode.Action = "javascript:openCorporateCompliance(" + reader.GetInt("id").ToString() + ")";

                tree.Add(xNode);

 

            }

Basically I want one main node and 3 nodes under it. Like this:

Training

-> Courses

-> Locations

-> Calendar

 

The courses, locations and calendar will point to ASPX's where I will include all logic. 

 

Thanks :-)

Hi again,

after spending hours of investing this issue, I still dont have a clue about this. I just wanted to add some information to my issue as I am seeking desperately for help. 

I downloaded the sample project from UmbracoTV, and copied the code from the loadCorporateCompliance.cs file.

The only difference now between my class and the class form the UmbracoTV-project is the name of the class, project and namespace.

This is how it looks like in the umbracoAppTree-table in the database:

from the UmbracoTV-project:

False

True

0

new

corporateCompliance

corporateCompliance

folder.gif

folder_o.gif

UmbracoTV.CustomTree

loadCorporateCompliance

NULL

From my project

False

True

0

training

abc

abc

folder.gif

folder_o.gif

EirikTest.CustomTree

loadTraining

NULL

This is still not working: The result form my class in the admin of Umbraco is:

Training

->AbcAbcAbcAbc

-> umbracoumbracoumbracoumbraco

-> denmarkdenmarkdenmarkdenmark

->AbcAbcAbcAbc

->umbracoumbracoumbracoumbraco

->denmarkdenmarkdenmarkdenmark

Hi Eirik,

I see what you mean, those posts must be from an old version because the property is NodeID now.

I took a quick look but I've been unable to reproduce the issue (although I've seen it before...)

I am wondering if you have some extra entry in your database or code somewhere though, as I'm not sure where the "Training" root node is coming from.  According to your example "Eiriktest" should be the first node.  And I'm not sure why you have two of them (even in your second example) - you should only have one?

Can you maybe try pasting again any custom records from both tables and your complete code?

-Tom

Thank you Tom for following me up :-) I REALLY appreciate it.

I changed the name of some of the nodes so that might have caused a confusion. 

I will give you all what you need here. I just wanted to add that I also refreshed the cache several times by changing the web.config and also recompiled to be safe.

Table:

umbracoApp

Training

umbracoAppTree

False

EirikTest.CustomTree

loadTraining

The name of the project is EirikTest.CustomTree

There is one class called loadTraining.cs. The code is there (copy of UmbracoTV-example except the name of the namespace and classname. the table where I am fetching the data from (corporateCompliance) is the same as from the UmbracoTV-example.

namespace EirikTest.CustomTree

{

    public class loadTraining : BaseTree

    {

        public loadTraining(string application) :

            base(application) { }

        protected override void CreateRootNode(ref XmlTreeNode rootNode)

        {

            rootNode.Icon = FolderIcon;

            rootNode.OpenIcon = FolderIconOpen;

            rootNode.NodeType = TreeAlias;

            rootNode.NodeID = "init";

        }

        public override void RenderJS(ref System.Text.StringBuilder Javascript)

        {

            Javascript.Append(

                @"

                        function openCorporateCompliance(id)

                        {

                           parent.right.document.location.href = 'plugins/editCorporateCompliance.aspx?id=' + id;

                        }

                ");

        }

        public override void Render(ref XmlTree tree)

        {

            IRecordsReader reader = Application.SqlHelper.ExecuteReader("select * from corporateCompliance");

            while (reader.Read())

            {

                XmlTreeNode xNode = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);

                xNode.NodeID = reader.GetInt("id").ToString();

                xNode.Text = reader.GetString("wrongWord");

                xNode.Icon = "doc3.gif";

                xNode.Action = "javascript:openCorporateCompliance(" + reader.GetInt("id").ToString() + ")";

                tree.Add(xNode);

            }

        }

    }

}

I am also adding the content of the web.config of the EirikTest.CustomTree project.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

  <appSettings/>

  <connectionStrings/>

  <system.web>

    <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0"/>

    <authentication mode="Windows"/>

    <pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID"/>

  </system.web>

</configuration>

 

The result from this code in the umbraco admin is included below. If I to another section and back, the Abc and the child nodes adds another value to the string.
