How do I add a new page to my contents

I am using Umbraco for the 1st time with VS2017.

I have been following this great tutorial: Tutorial - How to create a Contact Form in Umbraco using MVC and C

I have created the controller, partial view and model.

The last bit was to add this to the contents in the Umbraco admin portal.

That link showed how to replace the existing 'Contact' page.

But, I am trying to add as a new page.

To ensure this I deleted the existing Contact page before I started this tutorial.

This is my Template List (note Contact Template that I have created)

enter image description here

This is the Document Type (note that its Template is pointing to my Contact Template)

enter image description here

Now this is the list of my available Templates I can add to my Content Tree:

enter image description here

I want to create a new item of Product Type Contact.

But it is not listed.

Obviously, I am doing some howler here.

Can anyone educate me please?

Thanks

I have followed @ayo's suiggestion.

I go to Home in Document Types + Click On Templates and Browse and add the Contact Page:

enter image description here

But this Contact page is showing the default contact page I had already deleted and not my new one?

Solution

  • What you need to do is tell Umbraco that your new document type should be allowed to be created under Home Document type.

    You need to go to settings, expand Document Types and select Home. Then you need to click on Permissions (top right, next to Templates) and select the Contact document type on the Allowed Child Node Types property. This should allow you to create Contact pages beneath the Home page.
