On a clean install and no nodes are listed as selectable from the MNTP left hand window.
There are items in the right hand window.
Think i raised this on the last version too... I'll go check.
Also a little think i noticed - when you click the ;arge green download button on the package page it downloads the oldest version not the newest - not sure if thats a bug in Our tho. Ought to download the most recent as default.
Can you try again but download it directly from our.umbraco.org?
If you're still getting the issue, can you have a look in your Chrome dev tools (or firebug) and see if there are any 500 errors being returned from the ajax calls.
If using uComponents (between version v5.0 and v5.3.1) there is an underlying bug with the legacy MNTP (in uComponents.Legacy.dll). The bug was that MNTP's custom trees were being duplicated (by both Umbraco core and uComponents) ... a bug that was there since Umbraco 4.8 and uComponents 5.0 - however it wasn't until Umbraco 6.0's new API that this bug was revealed (previously it was being swallowed/hidden).
Good news is that uComponents 5.3.2 fixes that bug, (as well as Umbraco 6.0.1 has a fix to take care of it also).
Today I installed a brand-spanking-new Umbraco 6.1.1 site from the codeplex binaries (electing NOT to install any of the four recommended starter kits at the end of the installation), changed the defaultRenderingEngine setting to "Mvc" as instructed on this project's homepage, then installed this package (2.0) via the developer section.
Excited to see how things are setup, I went to the Content section and clicked on the Home document, but sadly the MNTP in the Slideshow tab seems broken and doesn't have anything to pick from in the left-hand pane. Screenshot:
I checked the network inspector and there are a few 500 errors coming from "GetInitAppTreeData" (/umbraco/controls/Tree/CustomTreeService.asmx).
uComponents is not installed on this new site of mine (nor are any uComponents DLLs found in my Bin folder), but not sure why that would matter since this "SW Page Picker" data type appears to be a native (i.e., non-uComponents) MNTP.
Sooo... any suggestions on how to get this working? Is uComponents required to make this starter kit work? (Unsure from reading all of the above). Also not sure why a third-party package (as much as I love it!) would be required for a native umbraco data type to work...
OK, it's weird that the MNTP is working as expected now. It wasn't a "cookies" or a browser caching thing, since I actually had launched a different browser (chrome) thinking maybe firefox was the problem, but it didn't work in chrome either. However, a few hours later I came back to look at things and it's working magically now.
Come to think of it, i may have seen this behavior before in the past with the native MNTP and was never able to explain it, so perhaps it's not specific problem to the Standard Website MVC package but something else. I'm tempted to delete and reinstall everything just to see if I can reproduce this problem but that's a story for a different day.
Just to follow up on this, ... it's not specific to this package (the Standard Website MVC package). Same thing happens for me from time to time after installing other packages and MNTP data types. See my advice I just posted here.
MNTP Still not working

Make sure you install the latest version on uComonents and this fixes this issue with the MNTP.

Hi Damian,

I did.... Had my solution appeared before you posted this?
Nope. That's an odd one, there should be no dependency on uComponents as it uses the core MNTP
Yeah but i believe v6 breaks the MNTP - remembered reading about it on the uComponents release notes.
The fix must update the core files.
Just installing uComponents doesn't seem to do it. You also need to delete uComponents.legacy.dll and clear your cookies. Hoping this is fixed soon.
Worked for me but it was from a completely clean install - maybe that was why?
Yep, just to clarify...
