Hello everyone,

I just started to create a new application using ABP. My last ASP.NET application is quite a while in the past, so I first started with some AngularJS tutorials to learn some of the basics. Anyway, I feel a bit like an absolute beginner, because web development seems to have changed a lot over last few years. So please have some patience if I ask some silly questions. ;)

I tried to add a new entry called 'Reports' to the menu and created a reports.cshtml and reports.js file for that page accordingly in /App/Main/views/reports.

I updated the main menu in AppNavigationProvider.cs like this:

public override void SetNavigation(INavigationProviderContext context)
        {
            context.Manager.MainMenu
                .AddItem(
                    new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "Home",
                        new LocalizableString("HomePage", AppConsts.LocalizationSourceName),
                        url: "#/",
                        icon: "fa fa-home"
                        )
                ).AddItem(
                    new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "Tenants",
                        L("Tenants"),
                        url: "#tenants",
                        icon: "fa fa-globe",
                        requiredPermissionName: PermissionNames.Pages_Tenants
                        )
                ).AddItem(
                    new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "Users",
                        L("Users"),
                        url: "#users",
                        icon: "fa fa-users",
                        requiredPermissionName: PermissionNames.Pages_Users
                        )
               ).AddItem(
                    new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "Reports",
                        new LocalizableString("Reports", AppConsts.LocalizationSourceName),
                        url: "#/reports",
                        icon: "fa fa-line-chart"
                        )
                ).AddItem(
                    new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "About",
                        new LocalizableString("About", AppConsts.LocalizationSourceName),
                        url: "#/about",
                        icon: "fa fa-info"
                        )
                );
        }

and the app.js file like this:

$stateProvider
                .state('home', {
                    url: '/',
                    templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/home/home.cshtml',
                    menu: 'Home' //Matches to name of 'Home' menu in AppNavigationProvider
                })
                .state('reports', {
                    url: '/reports',
                    templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/reports/reports.cshtml',
                    menu: 'Reports' //Matches to name of 'Reports' menu in AppNavigationProvider
                })
                .state('about', {
                    url: '/about',
                    templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/about/about.cshtml',
                    menu: 'About' //Matches to name of 'About' menu in AppNavigationProvider
                });

The new menu item is displayed on the page, but instead of opening /#/reports it opens the root page at /#/. The about menu item is still working as expected.

What am I doing wrong? Is there any other place that needs to be adapted?

Thanks for your help!

    MenuItemDefinition's url must be same as name of state.

    AddItem(
    	new MenuItemDefinition(
    		"Reports",
    		new LocalizableString("Reports", AppConsts.LocalizationSourceName),
    		url: "reports",
    		icon: "fa fa-line-chart"
    		)
    )
    
    .state('reports', {
    	url: '/reports',
    	templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/reports/reports.cshtml',
    	menu: 'Reports' //Matches to name of 'Reports' menu in AppNavigationProvider
    })
