    Create folder

    Hi,

    I'm very new to Umbraco (but have been developing in PHP for many years). I've been asked to create a site as a subdomain of a site which has an existing Umbraco installation (v2.1.6). I assumed I would be able to create a folder for the new site in Umbraco, but that doesn't seem possible, so I searched for create folder & found a threadwith an answer that says that I can create the folder outside of Umbraco, which I've done, but it still doesn't appear inside Umbraco. Can someone tell me how I can create a folder to build this site in? Under the create option I only have a number of items which relate to the content in the existing website.

    Thanks

    (I originally posted this as a reply to the other thread, but then realised that that thread had been marked as solved, so I've posted here. Apologies for the double post).

    There isnt a "folder" in Umbraco, what you do is create a document type that helps you with this. In a typical Umbraco setup my doctypes are:

    1. website (defining sitename, footer, .. imagery, metatags)
    2. startpage
    3. textpage

    I then use the doctype "website" as root for each website. Then I create homepage and textpages below.

    English site (doctype website)
    - Welcome (doctype startpage)
    --- more about us
    --- subpage 2
    - Contact us (textpage)

    To ensure the right page is served up as starting page: on website doctype I define a property with alias "umbracoInternalRedirectId", datatype content picker that I use to select the websites startpage/homepage.

    Not having the startpage defined as the "root" allows me to have a more flexible setup. This way, also the startpage can have subnavigation.
