Questions on navigation

[Andry]

Hi guys!

I'd like build an automated landing page where the page displays
submenus and two four sub sub menus. e.g. the current menu levels:

0 Home
1 Housing & living
1.0 Accommodation
1.1 Transport
2 Careers
2.0 Career Centre
2.1 Field work education
2.2 Mentors

And so displays in the home page:

Housing & living
- Accommodation
- Transport

Careers
- Career Centre
- Field work education
- MORE

I can get the first level to load by using lst_Navigation. But how do
I get each sub page's lst_Navigation?

Can anyone please help me?

Thank youuu!

Andry

Look at using subindexes and Navigation Manager to achieve the desired result. There's probably a code snippet in the archives somewhere. I'm on my phone atm so don't have access to my code library.

Cheers,

Gavin

Which version of RedDot are you using, Andy?

[Joel Kinzel]

We usually achieve this using something like this:

HTML Foundation Page:
<ul><%!! Navigation:OutputArea(NavName) !!%></ul>

Navigation Code:
<li><a href="<%!! Context:CurrentIndex.Page.GetUrl() !!%>"><%!! Context:CurrentIndex.Headline !!%></a>
<reddot:cms>

<if>

<query valuea="Context:CurrentIndex.HasChildren()" operator="==" valueb="Bool:True">

<htmltext><ul><nagivation:nextlevel></ul></htmltext>

</query>

<if>

</reddot:cms>

</li>

If you want the home page to be listed you would need to make a second Navigation Code content class and simply remove the reddot if statement and put the <navigation:nextlevel> after the closing <li> tag and set that to "special level: 1-1" and "selected only"

Note: The code I posted is for Navigation Manager based projects.

Hi Joel,

 

Thank you for the tips!

 

Using navigation manager works well! One more thing to perfect it, do you know how to make it to just display top 2 sub menus?

 

I want the landing pages to display top 2 sub menus, and if there are more than two, a MORE link will be displayed.

 

Eg.

 

Housing & living

- Accommodation

 

Careers

- Career Centre

- Field work education

- MORE

 

Cheers,

 

Andry

Hi Andry,

 Your best bet is probably to use CurrentLevelCount to interrogate the position like so:

<!!% Context:CurrentLevelCount %!!>

This starts at 1 not 0. 

You can then test it via:

<if>

<query valuea="Context:CurrentLevelCount" operator=">=" valueb="Int:3">

<htmltext>

put your More html code here...

</htmltext>

</if>

Good luck :)

Ben.
