    CMSImport package installed but cannot see it

    Hello, I'm using umbraco v7.5.4. Just installed the CMSImport package as I need to import some basic content from Excel. Everything looks fine, the package shows as installed, I reviewed the steps of the manual installation to make sure that all folders, files and configs described there were effectively added or modified and again, everything looks OK. I can also see the tables created by the install script in my umbraco SQL Server DB.

    enter image description here

    However, I don't see the CMSImport package in the UI and I cannot use it. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    JM

    Well, here's what I found. I was running the site instance on IIS Express, as I'm working on a VS solution. Once I published the site to where I have my test site instance running, on IIS 8, then the CMS Import package options showed up nice and it works well. Wondering why IIS Express is having problems with this package. A comment from the experts about this would be nice ;) JM

    Hi,

    Some config options are added on startup. I think the installer couldn't complete on your local instance because of file permissions. If you add the following snippet to /config/trees.config all should be good.

      <add initialize="true" sortOrder="10" alias="CMSImportWizard" application="developer" title="CMSImport" iconClosed="folder.gif" iconOpen="folder_o.gif" type="CMSImportLibrary.ApplicationTree.CMSImportTree,CMSImportLibrary" />
<add initialize="false" sortOrder="11" alias="CMSImportWizardSaveImportTree" application="developer" title="Saved Imports" iconClosed="folder.gif" iconOpen="folder_o.gif" type="CMSImportLibrary.ApplicationTree.SavedImportTree,CMSImportLibrary" />
  <add initialize="false" sortOrder="15" alias="CMSImportWizardScheduleImportTree" application="developer" title="Scheduled Imports" iconClosed="folder.gif" iconOpen="folder_o.gif" type="CMSImportLibrary.ApplicationTree.ScheduledTaskTree,CMSImportLibrary" />
  <add initialize="false" sortOrder="16" alias="CMSImportSettings" application="developer" title="Settings" iconClosed="folder.gif" iconOpen="folder_o.gif" type="CMSImportLibrary.ApplicationTree.ImportSettingsTree,CMSImportLibrary" />

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

    Thanks a lot, Richard. Just added the snippet to the indicated config file and it works now from my dev environment. I think it would be very helpful if you add this part to the documentation that describes the manual installation. The documentation as it is is very good, I guess this is the only missing part. Thanks again, JM
