    Default view for custom application

    I have created a custom section in the Umbraco backoffice. It currently has two nodes/menu items, which I have mapped with their corresponding views in their TreeController. So far so good.

    My question is, where do I place the view for the landing page of my custom application? It's currently blank.

    My folder structure looks something like this:

    -App_Plugins
    -MySection
        -backoffice
             -MySectionTree
             -node1.html
             -node2.html

    I have tried adding a view.html on the same level - without success. Any ideas?

    Hi Filur,

    to add a starting view for your custom section you need to alter the dashboard.Config file and add your new section here:

    <section alias="MySection">
    <areas>
      <area>mySection</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Dashboard">
      <control addPanel="true" panelCaption="">/app_plugins/mysection/backoffice/dashboard.html</control>
    </tab>
  </section>

    Where the file ~/App_Plugins/MySection/backoffice/dashboard.html is your landing page.

    Hope this helps!

    /Michaël
