Hi Kristoffer and welcome to the Umbraco developer forum :)

What does your package.manifest file look like? Does it contain the proper path to the editor view?

Hi Kristoffer

Could you please post what the content of your package.manifest is? That will make it easier to figure out what you're currently doing and where things might go wrong :)

Okay, here it is the one covering my treepicker.:) Hopes it helps.

No idea if this will sort your problem but I notice you have a lowercase p on Appplugins instead of AppPlugins. Since the use of the tilde at the start (which should remain) indicates a serverpath umbraco might do some manipulation to make it compatible with angular which may fail with that typo... only guessing.

It is a good guess, but unfortunately not a solution. It still fails, when I try to lazy load the property. it gives precise this result: http://localhost:57221/umbraco/~/App_Plugins/Solution/Editors/customTreePicker/customTreePicker.html 404 (Not Found)

Forgive me for two things

1. I re-read what you are doing
2. I may have been doing things incorrectly when loading dialogs and I don't have access to my code to check

What is your full function for loading the dialog? I don't think I used the leading tilde in this situation at all instead an absolute path i.e leading slash see an example here looks more like I remember.

I wants to load the dialog with a custom tree with data from outside Umbraco. When data is comming from outside Umbraco the normal treePicker returns an error, because it cannot load information from the entityResource. I just want to return a nice JSON object, there can be stored.

Does this give any sense?

It was the solution. While you wrote the answer Ian, I found the solution by try and error... But you were right...:)

I think the typo you found earlier and the tilde, was the two things there together made it hard to find the solution.

Thanks for your help. Now I can concentrate on the next small but issue, maybe a post comes up tomorrow...;-)

Good to see you managed to get this solved before I visited the forums again after responding last night :)

If you're new to making your own property editors etc. then it might be handy for you to know about these resources to easier look up things etc.

https://github.com/umbraco/AngularWorkbook https://our.umbraco.org/apidocs/ui/#/api https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Tutorials/Creating-a-Property-Editor/

Hope these can help you understand property editors better if you have not seen these links already.

Happy coding!
