I'm trying to create a new Section in the back office which I've managed to do with a class
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using umbraco.businesslogic;
using umbraco.interfaces;
namespace ICT_Web.CustomSections
{
[Application("salesforce","SalesForce", "icon-wrench", 1)]
public class SalesForce : IApplication
{
}
}
Which has created the entry in the applications.config
I've assigned this new section to my Umbraco login so that when I log in i can see and select the section:
Where I'm stuck is how to create a tab and once created I'd like to load in a view and I just can't seem to get that to work. I believe that I've got to change the dashboard.config but no matter what I seem to do nothing is reflected in the back office.
yes to get the dashboard file to load the section the area will have to match the alias of your application, so adding the following to the dashboards.config should work.
Custom tab section

Could someone shed any light please?

you can tell if the config is working even if the file is missing as you would get a red box across the bottom in umbraco if it can't find the file.
You, my friend, are a superstar!
