extend navigation tree

[fblue]

OK, i will extend the advanced navigation tree. My problem is the following.

1. I have extend the advanced.view.xml
2. I have extend the view-definitions.xml

I think that's all. When TMS starts i get an error
error in view definitions file. ID not found in index table
and i don't see the new entries.
Here that what i want. but i'am not sure all is ok. I can not find any documantion about the classes for the xml file.

<container name='byyear' id='music/year' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container' >
<container buildon='pv:year' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container.album.musicAlbum' />
</container>
<container name='bydate' id='music/date' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container' >
<container buildon='pv:year' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container.album.musicAlbum' >
<container buildon='pv:month' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container.album.musicAlbum' />
</container>
</container>

when i remark my entries in view-definitions.xml TMS starts without errors.

That's the changes from me. I have no idea what's wrong by the container. Maybe the Class but i don't know what the right is.
I will also entries date and year inside music.

I hope anybody can help me what's wrong by the new entries.

Thanks

First thing... you should be using "groupid" not "id" for your custom additions...
change that and try again, see if it works.

Thanky for your answer. I have changed id to groupid but the only think i get no error in the log. The new Nav entry is not there.
I don't understand why i must change from id to groupid. I have copied the new entry from video and there is id. I have also looked to all container where is the groupid. Only by onlineservice is the groupid.
where is the difference between id and groupid.
have you another idea why i can't see the new entrys.

As to answer your "why do I need to" question, well, it's because that's the rules that the developer's created.

Follow the rules as documented in the Spec Doc here:

Also, why are you extending the Advanced view? Why don't you just copy it, renamed it, and modify as you see fit (even if it is simply to extend)?
