    Custom tree in backend not showing anywhere

    I have followed both http://www.nibble.be/?p=440 and https://github.com/TimGeyssens/UmbracoAngularBackofficePages.  Basically just adding a few more fields to the DB and changing the people and person related labels to something that is more consistent with my proejct, based on the following conventions:

    UmbracoAngularBackofficePages = TestimonialManagement
    Example = TestimonialMngmnt
    People = Testimonials
    Person = Testimonial

    I tried

    • touching the web.config file 
    • trying different browser
    • restrating the app pool
    • entering an item in the DB manually
    Yet, I see no menu or tree.  What am I doing wrong? Also, once I do see one, how can I make sure there is an add button on it?

    Hi lonehorseend

    Did you also remember to enable your user access to the new custom section in the "Users" setting? I struggled with this for 1 hour once where I double checked EVERYTHING and was on the werge of pulling my hair of untill I remembered...and then I just thought..."Do'h!" :)

    It would be nice if it was mentioned in the article since it's common for people to forget/not know about this step.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Jan:

    Yes, it did. Can you please elaborate or give me a link? No, I didn't know anything about the User settings . . .

    Oh geez. Never mind. I see it. Talk about an "Oh, duh" moment.

    Hmmm, now I have blank pages where data is supposed to be . . . Getting closer I guess...

    Yeah, got the edit to work, just had files in the wrong place. One last, dumb question . . .  How do I change the [testimonialngmnt] shown here: and present on the permissions page to Testimonials?

    Hi Lonehorseend

    Hmm, our must have hickupped - In the overview it displays that this post has 0 answers...weird! :)

    But anyway, good you found out what I meant - In order to change the text you'll need to add a key to the /umbraco/config/lang/en.xml or en_us.xml file - And if you're going to enable other languages for your editors you might need to add a key to the other language files in that folder as well.

    Look the <area alias="sections"> and add a <key alias="yoursectionname">Your section name</key>

    Hope this makes sense.

    Hi,

    Besides Tim's examples I have some examples as well on creating custom sections : 

    https://bitbucket.org/dawoe/umbukfestival2014/

    There are some useful examples in there

    Thanks, Jan.  I figured that a language file was involved somewhere.  :)
