Cant render umbraco Custom Tree

I am creating a new Section in umbraco 4.8 so now i want to create a custom tree for that section. Here is the Register of the section

sortOrder | appAlias | appIcon   | appName   | appInitWithTreeAlias
9         |importer  |import.gif |  Importer | NULL

This is the the register for the tree of that section

treeSilent = False
treeInitialize = True
treeSortOrder = 0
appAlias = importer
treeAlias = importer
treeTitle = Importer
treeIconClosed = legacy
treeIconOpen = legacy
treeHandlerAssembly = asm.ssu.importer // My DLL Name
treeHandlerType = site.com.clients.ssu.importer.loadImporter // Namespace.ClassName
actionn = NULL

And this is my class

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees;

namespace site.com.clients.ssu.importer
{
    public class loadImporter : BaseTree
    {
        public loadImporter(String application)
            : base(application)
        {

        }

        protected override void CreateRootNode(ref XmlTreeNode rootNode)
        {
            rootNode.Icon = FolderIcon;
            rootNode.OpenIcon = FolderIconOpen;
            rootNode.NodeType = TreeAlias;
            rootNode.NodeID = "init";
        }

        public override void RenderJS(ref System.Text.StringBuilder Javascript)
        {
            Javascript.Append(
            @"
                function openImporter(id)
                {
                    parent.right.document.location.href = '#' ;
                }    
            ");
        }

        public override void Render(ref XmlTree tree)
        {
            XmlTreeNode xNode = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
            xNode.NodeID = "1";
            xNode.Text = "Import Site";
            xNode.Icon = "importer.gif";
            xNode.Action = "javascript:openImporter(1)";
            tree.Add(xNode);      
        }
    }
}

As you see i just need to render it but when i click into the section and touch the config it should render just one child but does not render nothing , any idea ?

Things changed in 4.8. You might find this usefull: http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/2012/07/18/creating-custom-applications-and-trees-in-umbraco-4-8/

Theoretically it is supposed to be backwards compatible from what I hear. Your configuration looks right. The only difference is that I only put the class name for treeHandlerType rather than the fully qualified name.

When it renders nothing it's normally because an error is being thrown but suppressed. This is likely to be one of the following:

  • It can't load the tree due to a mismatch in the specified type and assembly
  • The class has thrown an error that's being suppressed.

If you check the umbracoLog table in the database the actual error should be recorded in there.
