Hello Community , I am trying to write some POC , to check umbraco as next platform for our websites. And I faced with following requirement , I need to Add custom "section" to Dashboard. I am not sure I am using the right termin "section" but what i need to achieve is to have custom item on the left side bar (with black area ) after Members and before Help sign. I tried to change dashboard.config , and application config , but nothing happens , no new item added to area.
Can anyone please point me to some good tutorial explaining on how to do it.
When I installed google analytics package , it added custom icon to this area , and I am trying to achieve the same.
What you are after here is how you create a new custom section in the backoffice. Try to see these two blogposts from Markus Johansson. I think this would be a good starting point.
When you said that you have installed the Analytics package for Umbraco 7, then another approach could be to have a look on the source code for this package. You can find the source code on Github, maybe it can give you some hints on how to build you own custom section https://github.com/warrenbuckley/Analytics/tree/master/Analytics
Umbraco 7 add item to dashboard.
