Visualforce tabs do not appear in sidebar ("recent items" or "create new")
Hello,
I am encountering some difficulties to expose my VisualForce tabs in the Force.com sidebar, I did the following:
- Created a new Visualforce tab - "Candidates"
- Assigned to it a VisualForce Page - "CandidatesPage" (the page standardController is "Candidate__c")
Until here everything went smoothly and I could see the tab displayed properly.
When I try to use the sidebar to create new or view recent items of "Candidate' entity I see no trace of such entity.
Why is that ?
The "CandidatesPage" code:
<apex:page tabStyle="Candidate__tab" standardController="Candidate__c" >
<h1>TEST</h1>
</apex:page>
Thanks

You probably want to create a custom object tab, rather than a visualforce tab, and then under the page overrides set the tab override.
The end result is almost exactly like a vf tab, but records will show in the sidebar recent history, and behave like other objects that have a proper tab.

When I create a "Custom Object Tab" I can see that the "Object" of the Tab appears in the application side-bar in "create new..." and "recent items".
When I am creating a "VisualForce Tab" based on VisualForce page which use standard controller and a custom object that I built ("Candidate__c") the side-bar does not display my object in "create new..." or "recent items"
Is it possible to use the side-bar when working with VisualForce Tabs using a custom object ?
Thanks

I have an issue with "Custom Object" Tab when I override a tab with my page, I can't seem to highlight the Tab.
I tried using the "tabStyle" attribute although it simply does nothing, how can I highlight the Tab ?
Code:
-------
<apex:page controller="UserSessionController" tabStyle="Candidates__tab" >
...
