Hi Jens

You'll have to ensure that the user is able to create (and edit) the new content class.

Cheers

Hi Bruce, Tx - that sounds resonable.. I made a role/policy with read/create/edit/remove rights to my custom class - and assigned it to the administrator group (myself).. But still, my custom class is not available from the webinterface. But actually, the admin group should have had access to it without the extra role i suppose... From the admin interface, everything works fine (the object is part of the dropdown list for creating new objects in a folder as example...)

So is there a place /ini setting I need to register my custom class for it to be available through the web interface? Or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

regards, Jens

Got a little closer - found the following:

--------------------------
Website toolbar for custom classes

By default, the website toolbar in 3.9 is only shown for classes shipped with the website interface. If you want it to be shown for a custom class, add your class' name to the AvailableForClasses[] array in extension/ezwebin/settings/websitetoolbar.ini and clear the cache ;)

If your class is a container, you also need to add it to the ContentClassContainers array in the same file to enable creating objects under it.
--------------------------

However, my custom class is still NOT available in the create drowdown on the toolbar. Rights to create/edit are OK - and no problem using the admin interface for the same user.

So question remains: How to add a custom class to the create dropdown on the website toolbar...

Anyone? Who managed to put a custom class on the create dropdown list in the webinterface toolbar?

Were you saying that even when logged in as admin you can't use the toolbar to create your new class?

Is the custom class that you created located in the content group? (setup > classes > content)
