    Add a usercontrol to a tab in backoffice of umbraco

    Hi,

    I'm new in Umbraco and i have a question.
    Is it possible to add a tab with a usercontrol to a child node in umbraco ?

    Now i have this:

    <section>
        <areas>
          <area>default</area>
          <area>content</area>
        </areas>

        <tab caption="test tab">
          <control>/usercontrols/test.ascx</control>
        </tab>
      </section>

    But i would like something like this:

    <section>
        <areas>
          <area>default</area>
          <area>content/test node</area>
        </areas>

        <tab caption="test tab">
          <control>/usercontrols/test.ascx</control>
        </tab>
      </section>

    This doesn't work but i think you see what i'm trying to do ;-)

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Regards,

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,

    You want to add the usercontrol on an actual content node?

    To do this you should create a Datatype and add it to that Document Type.  You can use the "Usercontrol Wrapper" to create a datatype from a usercontrol. 

    The "Dashboards" are just for the top section nodes (ie Content, Media, etc), but you can get the same functionality using a datatype.

    Here is an older tutorial on this but the concept is pretty much the same.  With 4.7 you can now add settings to the datatype also - see this tutorial.

    Hope this helps,
    Tom
