Hi Guys I have this problem:
I want to deploy a custom application page to the SharePoint Central Administration. I found these 2 links: http://kamilmka.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/how-to-deploy-a-application-page-to-central-administration/ and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff798467.aspx and did everything they said.
No problems occured during deployment or activation, however the link to the page does not show in the Central Administration.
I checked and found out that the page is deployed to the \14\TEMPLATE\ADMIN\ReminderConfiguration
folder as it should, but the custom action does not appear to work. Here is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Description="Here you can change the xml of the timer job."
Id="ReminderTimerConfigurationLink"
Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Monitoring"
Sequence="1000"
GroupId="TimerJobs"
Title="Reminder Timer Configuration">
<UrlAction Url="_admin/ReminderConfiguration/ReminderConfiguration.aspx" />
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
All the names appear to be correct.
I tried to create my own Custom Action Group and place the Links there, still nothing worked. The feature activates with no problems and the logs show no errors as well.
Any ideas?
