Hi Sam,

I've had the same issue for umbImport and took a look how umbraco rendered the subtree. It uses tree.aspx. Hereby the Code snippet I'm using in umbImport

protected
 
 void RenderSubtree(XmlTree tree, string treeType, string nodeType, string text)
{
 
XmlTreeNode node = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
node.NodeID = 
"-1";
node.Text = text;
node.Icon = 
"folder.gif";
node.OpenIcon = 
"folder_o.gif";
 
//Specific for the child nodes
node.Source = 
"tree.aspx?app=" + this.app + "&id=" + this.id + "&treeType=" + treeType + "&rnd=" + Guid.NewGuid();
node.NodeType = nodeType;
 
 
tree.treeCollection.Add( node);
}

Then you can call the method using

RenderSubtree(tree,

"treealias", "somenodetype", "Text");

Do that after

Make sure the alias is defined in the database. This is the same as you did when you configured the cpSettings tree. One thing, make sure that you set the TreeInitialize value in the umbracoApptree table for the record to false.

Hope it  helps you,

Richard

Thanks Mr.Richards.,

if i can get the code snippet of this as i am getting an error when i try to use

node.source= "tree.aspx?app=" + this.app + "&id=" + this.id + "&treeType=" + treeType + "&rnd=" + Guid.NewGuid(); ..

when i set TreeInitialize=false, the tree is not loading.

thanks., in that i referred dictionaryItems..

How did you implemented it

hello.,

where to i have to pass this method?

RenderSubtree(tree,"treealias", "somenodetype", "Text");

Did you already looked at the following wiki? http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/backoffice-apis/tree-api---to-create-custom-treesapplications

put this after tree.treeCollection.Add( node);

Also make sure you've configured the tree in the database

Folks.,

i have tried.. it is not working for me..

this is the example code

here custom1 is a parent and custom2 should be child of custom1..

-custom1

     --custom2

if you can trace what the actual issue is?

Looking at your code you are just putting 2 nodes under the root node and you don't create child nodes. You should use

xNode.Source = this.GetTreeServiceUrl(id);

Let me show you an example:

This is the parent node (StartNodeID = -1):

if
 
 (this.id == this.StartNodeID)
{
xNode = 
XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
xNode.NodeID = 
"Node1";
xNode.Text = 
"RootNode";
xNode.Icon = 
"folder.gif";
xNode.OpenIcon = 
"folder_o.gif";
xNode.Source = 
this.GetTreeServiceUrl(2);
tree.Add(xNode);
}

The child node loads by using:

if
 
 (this.id == 2)
{
xNode = 
XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
xNode.NodeID = 
"ChildNode1";
xNode.Text = 
"ChildNode";
xNode.Icon = 
"folder.gif";
xNode.OpenIcon = 
"folder_o.gif";
tree.Add(xNode);
}

When the custom section is loaded only the rootnode (Node1) is visible. When you expand the node the code is being called again but 'this.id' will be '2' because that's how it's set at 'xNode.Source = this.GetTreeServiceUrl(2);'. This time the childnode will be created.

if i give StartNodeID== -1 .,it is not working so i tried startnodeId==0..

when i try to run as above code .,i am getting repeated nodes... i coudn't trace out the exact issue

I couldn't completely understand your last message but did you solve your problem? If so you should mark a reply as the solution.

still i am getting repeated nodes

hello.,

i am getting infinite repeated nodes..

what will be actual issue here?

is working on a reply...
