    Dictionary in its own section

    I followed the instructions here to create a new section containing the Dictionary - http://blog.dampee.be/post/2013/07/09/Adding-the-dictionary-as-a-new-section-in-umbraco-v410+-and-v6.aspx

    It worked, although I changed the alias from "dictionaryApp" to "dictionary" so that the Create function works.

    So I have this in Applications.config

      <add alias="dictionary" name="Dictionary" icon="dict.png" sortOrder="7" />

    and this in trees.config

      <add application="dictionary" alias="dictionary" title="Dictionary" type="umbraco.loadDictionary, umbraco" iconClosed=".sprTreeFolder" iconOpen=".sprTreeFolder_o" action="openDictionary()" sortOrder="0" />

    What I can't get to work is the display of all dictionary items, like when you click on "Dictionary" in the Settings section.

    I added the following to dashboard.config - 

      <section alias="DictionaryAdmin">
    <areas>
      <area>dictionary</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Dictionary">
      <control>/umbraco/settings/DictionaryItemList.aspx</control>
    </tab>
  </section>

    But it doesn't work. I get the following error:

    Could not load control: '/umbraco/settings/DictionaryItemList.aspx'.

    If I remove the Dashboard changes, I can get the Dictionary List to appear if I first go to Settings and click on Dictionary!?

    It isn't the end of the world if I can't get the dictionary list to display, but it would be handy!

    Umm, actually, it doesn't really work at all :-(

    When logged on as an Editor - clicking on a dictionary item gives the error message

    The current user doesn't have access to the section/app 'settings'

    Hello,

    I once created a package for this: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/digibiz-dictionary-section

    However it does have the same problem, but you can find a workaround here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/digibiz-dictionary-section/digibiz-dictionary-section/25319-Access-to-Settings-is-required?p=0#comment94099

    I did try installing your package but it didn't seem to work in Umbraco v6.1.6 - is that related to / the same issue fixed in the link above?

    Regarding the link above, does the whole of it apply? Do I assume you never implemented the changes into your project?

    Hello,

    I never implemented the changes to my project because I stopped using it. That's why it probably doesn't work in v6 too. Instead I started using the Dictionary Dashboard where you can manage dictionary items from a dashboard in the content section.

    If you do what's in this blogpost it might work again: http://www.richardsoeteman.net/2011/10/17/FixUserPermissionsErrorInDigibizDictionarySection.aspx

    Yep, tried Dictionary Dashboard too - it works but doesn't show all of the dictionary items in a tree. There are are a lot of items and having them in a dropdown is not ideal!

    I will try following the blog and see how it goes.

    Unfortunately, the package doesn't install properly to start with ... I think I will just stick with the Dictionary Dashboard for now.

    You could try the fix described in the blogpost to the steps you already did in your first post.

    The problem you mention in your second post is also what the blogpost is about.
