    Cannot use new document type

    We are currently using umbraco v 4.7.0 (Assembly version: 1.0.4090.38017)

    We have installed the Simple website (not empty website version) from the installation wizard at Umbraco. Using the video at the link -http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials/introduction-to-umbraco/sitebuilder-introduction/document-types we created a new document type (Inner), which was successfully done.

    When we try to use the new document type (Inner) while trying to add content, the new Inner type is not showing in the dropdown.

     

     

     

     

    Please check the last image above and you can see that we just get document type 'Textpage' and not the new type 'Inner' that we have earlier created.

    Hi,

    The list you see in the Choose Document Type dropdown is controlled by the Structure that you define on the parent document type.  You must specifically tell Umbraco which document types are allowed to be created where.

    So if you would like to create the "Inner" document type underneath your Home Page, you'd need to edit the Home Page document type, click the Structure tab, and select "Inner" from the list and save it.

    Hope this helps,
    Tom

    Do the Homepage document type allow the inner document type as child?

    Hi Pritam,

    I think you have to assign the documenttype under Textpage. Looking at the screenshot it seems you assigned it to itself.

    Greetings,

    Bas
