    templates not showing up in content tree

    starting off with the version, b/c I keep seeing that being a major question: version 7.2.6 assembly: 1.0.5632.22681

    i am brand new to Umbraco and trying to create new templates for paid search. i have done these steps:

    • created a 'top' doctype and then a subsequent 'child' doctype
    • mirrored what was already crated and adjusted for my needs
    • took the created template and (again) mirrored what was already created and adjusted for my needs

    now i am trying to create a template, but when i go to the 'content' section, my templates are not appearing. what am i doing wrong?

    another company created the site structure and handed it off to us, but of course, since we have had it handed off, we are seeing the need for more templates/pages and don't want to have to continue to pay them for something we should be able to take care of.

    any help would be greatly appreciated ... thanks!

    The templates tree runs through the database, so you need to create them through Umbraco for them to show up. If you create a new one in Umbraco and the file already exists on disk it will show you the existing content.

    And what happens if you create a doc type with matching template, are they shown in the tree then?

    nope.

    i have even created another doctype/template and nested it under the Base dt/temp ... still isn't showing up ... is there a little button or something that i'm not pushing?

    that's strange, any js errors showing in the console when you expand the tree?

    the only error is an seoChecker validate error ... so there's no js load errors ... could it be permission level?

    And mind checking the umbraco logs, they are found in the \App_Data\Logs directory, we might find something usefull in there

    Well you could install this package that will allow you to view the log files inside the cms https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/diplo-trace-log-viewer
