    Publish package with custom Package actions

    Hi,

    I have made a custom package which I would like to publish with a custom package action.

    For my custom package action I have created a new class that inherits from IPackageAction.

    public class PackageActions : IPackageAction
    {
        // stuff...
    }
    

    This is located in my package dll that I include in the package.

    Will this run automatically if you install the package or do I need to add something in the actions tab of my package?

    /Michaël

    Yeah you need to add a snippet of xml to the package action bit of your package, otherwise it will not run (here are some samples https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/packages-and-projects/package-action-samples )

    Hi Tim,

    I have added the following action into my package.xml:

    <Action runat="install" undo="true" alias="uContentMap"></Action>
    

    It should add a new section direclty after the dashBoard element in Dashboard.config.

    How can I debug this to see what is wrong?

    Hi Tim,

    Unfortunately this page is 404ing. I can't seem to find the how-tos for package actions, any idea where they might have run off to?

    You can use the package action tester from Richard https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/package-action-tester/

    Now it works like a charm!
