this has probably been asked before (but I have searched the forum, without luck). Is there a way to extend the Backend with a new section, for some special functionality? In my case, I have made a website for a football club, and I need to extend the backend so it has a new section, where it is possible to add seasons, teams, players, results and so on, think of it as a resultmanager. I know that it is possible to add new custom user controls to the dashboard, but because of my some how large module, I would really like to have the possibility, to build it like the content section or media seciton, with a tree veiw in the left border and so on.
I have tried to add the new section to umbracoapp and umbracoapptree in the DB, but without any effect.
Please let me know if this is possible or not, and if it is, please if you have an example, link to it :)
I also delved into the umbraco code for more details on setting up trees and actions for the left column.
It wasn't easy and there is a lot of undocumented bits I had to find out the hard way, but it is possible and I got it done. I have put a screenshot of the admin section at http://www.bfq.org.au/sportweb.jpg
Hope this help and if you have any specific questions I would happy to help.
Would you mind showing me a snippet of the code you used to create the new sections and all this child nodes? I've been trying to do this with the BaseTree and can't seem to find out how. Would be great to get some help!! Thanks!
Hi everyone, iv tried using the code recommended and also did the changes to the database but there seems to be some kind of bug or error. Iv taken snapshot of the error that occurs. link to image
The strange thing is that i got it working at first, than added an extra "google link" and then it didnt work, so I removed all changes and did it from the start again, then nothing worked =(
Please help!!
And a last question, how do you add information to main part?
Some code of someone that has done this would be great!!
Add new section to Umbraco backend
Hello everyone,
this has probably been asked before (but I have searched the forum, without luck). Is there a way to extend the Backend with a new section, for some special functionality?

Thanks in advance.
I have done nearly the same thing as what you are trying to do. You can see the front end of it at http://www.bfq.org.au.
I pretty much followed the instructions in part one and two at http://www.simm.dk/umbraco-corner/articles/making-custom-sections-and-trees-inside-umbraco---part-ii.aspx
I also delved into the umbraco code for more details on setting up trees and actions for the left column.
