Hi Cedric,

you can create a custom section in two ways with v8

via the package.manifest (in an app_plugin folder for your plugin): so you can add the following

  "sections": [
    {
      "alias": "mySection",
      "name": "Custom Section"
    }
  ],

via code : you need to impliment ISection and append it to the Sections() collection in a Composition.

public class DashboardComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        composition.Sections().Append<MyCustomSection>();
    }
}

public class MyCustomSection : ISection
{
    public string Alias => "mySection";

    public string Name => "My Section Name";
}

thank you very much I will try

hello I still have a question about the creation of my tree. in V7 I had this code: but I have errors on

[Umbraco.Web.Trees.Tree("content", "KeziaAlias", "Kezia Parametres", sortOrder: 0)]

And :

menu.Items.Add<CreateChildEntity, ActionNew>(ui.Text("actions", ActionNew.Instance.Alias));

my code :

[PluginController("KeziaApp")]
//[Umbraco.Web.Trees.Tree("KeziaApp", "KeziaAlias", "Kezia Parametres", sortOrder: 0)]
[Umbraco.Web.Trees.Tree("content", "KeziaAlias", "Kezia Parametres", sortOrder: 0)]
public class KeziaAppTreeController : TreeController
{
    protected override MenuItemCollection GetMenuForNode(string id, FormDataCollection queryStrings)
    {
        // create a Menu Item Collection to return so people can interact with the nodes in your tree
        var menu = new MenuItemCollection();

        if (id == Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString())
        {
            // root actions, perhaps users can create new items in this tree, or perhaps it's not a content tree, it might be a read only tree, or each node item might represent something entirely different...
            // add your menu items here following the pattern of <Umbraco.Web.Models.Trees.ActionMenuItem,umbraco.interfaces.IAction>
            menu.Items.Add<CreateChildEntity, ActionNew>(ui.Text("actions", ActionNew.Instance.Alias));
            // add refresh menu item            
            menu.Items.Add<RefreshNode, ActionRefresh>(ui.Text("actions", ActionRefresh.Instance.Alias), true);
            return menu;
        }
        // add a delete action to each individual item
        menu.Items.Add<ActionDelete>(ui.Text("actions", ActionDelete.Instance.Alias));

        return menu;
    }

    protected override TreeNodeCollection GetTreeNodes(string id, FormDataCollection queryStrings)
    {
        // check if we're rendering the root node's children
        if (id == Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString())
        {
            // you can get your custom nodes from anywhere, and they can represent anything... 
            Dictionary<int, string> favouriteThings = new Dictionary<int, string>();
            favouriteThings.Add(1, "Import des produits de Kezia");
            // create our node collection
            var nodes = new TreeNodeCollection();

            // loop through our favourite things and create a tree item for each one
            foreach (var thing in favouriteThings)
            {
                // add each node to the tree collection using the base CreateTreeNode method
                // it has several overloads, using here unique Id of tree item, -1 is the Id of the parent node to create, eg the root of this tree is -1 by convention - the querystring collection passed into this route - the name of the tree node -  css class of icon to display for the node - and whether the item has child nodes
                var node = CreateTreeNode(thing.Key.ToString(), "-1", queryStrings, thing.Value, "icon-presentation", false);
                nodes.Add(node);

            }
            return nodes;
        }

        // this tree doesn't support rendering more than 1 level
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

Hi

the Tree Attribute has been updated a little.

[Tree("Section", "treeAlias", TreeGroup = "Group (optional)", 
TreeTitle = "tree title", SortOrder = 1)]

Should work

the Actions have moved about a bit.

        menu.Items.Add(new RefreshNode(Services.TextService, true));

will get you a refresh node (built in from the Umbraco core).

my create action ended up looking like this

            var createMenuItem = new MenuItem(ActionNew.ActionAlias, Services.TextService)
            {
                Icon = "add",
                OpensDialog = true
            };
            menu.Items.Add(createMenuItem);

but that is partly because i am also setting a custom route for my create action.

and a for me delete looks like this :

            menu.Items.Add<ActionDelete>(
                    Services.TextService.Localize($"actions/{ActionDelete.ActionAlias}"), true);

thank you very much it works

Thanks for this, but then how do you close the dialog that gets openened? I tried the editorService.close() with no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks

is working on a reply...
