How To add new Item Catalog

Question

I created my component importantTodoItemsListComponent that work fine for me. I attempted to add my component within catalog. When I click on "Add components" button, I do not see anything.

What is my error ?

I created this node:

<sv:node sv:name="hst:catalog" xmlns:sv="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/sv/1.0">
  <sv:property sv:name="jcr:primaryType" sv:type="Name">

  </sv:property>
  <sv:property sv:name="jcr:uuid" sv:type="String">

Answer 1

It could be that you have added the catalog component in the wrong hst configuration.

When you open up the channel manager for a channel, new hst configuration with the name -preview is made. I guess you have added the catalog component in /hst:hst/hst:configurations/foo instead of /hst:hst/hst:configurations/foo**-preview**

Try to move the catalog component to the -preview configuration and see it it shows in the catalog library.

Good Luck,
