    Root node not showing in a custom section

    Developing Umbraco 7 packages

    Hi, I am following the source code written by Dave Woestenborghs on creating custom sections. The source code can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/dawoe/duugcustomsections/src

    When I add few customers, they appear below each other with no grouping root node. How to be able to do so?

    Here is some code snippets:

    [Tree("duug-customers", "duug-customers-tree", "Customers")]
[PluginController("DUUG")]
public class CustomerTreeController : TreeController
{
    private const string CustomerPrefix = "customer-";

    protected override TreeNodeCollection GetTreeNodes(string id, FormDataCollection queryStrings)
    {
        // if not root, return all nodes
        if (id != Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString()) throw new NotSupportedException();

        var nodes = new TreeNodeCollection();
        var ctrl = new CustomersController();
        var customerRoute = string.Format("{0}{1}/edit/", queryStrings.GetValue<string>("application"),
            this.TreeAlias.EnsureStartsWith('/'));

        nodes.AddRange(ctrl.GetAll().Select(customer => CreateTreeNode(string.Format("{0}{1}", CustomerPrefix, customer.Id.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)), Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString(), queryStrings, customer.Name, "icon-client", false, string.Format("{0}{1}", customerRoute, customer.Id))));

        return nodes;
    }
}

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    Hi Bilal,

    This because you have only one tree in your section and you add all your items to that.

    Have a look at the source code here : https://bitbucket.org/dawoe/umbukfestival2014

    In this example I have 2 trees and you see the behavior you want.

    In fact, I added the following to get a root node:

    if (id == Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString())
        {
            nodes.Add(CreateTreeNode("customersTree", Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString(), queryStrings,
                "Customers", "icon-folder", true));
        }
        else if (id == "customersTree")
        {
            var ctrl = new CustomersController();
            var customerRoute = string.Format("{0}{1}/edit/", queryStrings.GetValue<string>("application"),
                this.TreeAlias.EnsureStartsWith('/'));

            nodes.AddRange(
                ctrl.GetAll()
                    .Select(
                        customer =>
                            CreateTreeNode(
                                string.Format("{0}{1}", CustomerPrefix,
                                    customer.Id.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)),
                                Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString(), queryStrings, customer.Name,
                                "icon-client", false, string.Format("{0}{1}", customerRoute, customer.Id))));

        }

    But now the thing is, where in Umbraco I would specify a view to be shown when the section is clicked? Like a landing page or so.

    Thanks
