Hi,

I am transferring an existing static corporate website to Silverstripe. On the homepage the navigation has a group of second level navigation items open while their are other second level nav items which you can't see until you click on the top level link.

I want to be able to replicate this in SilverStripe and was thinking the best way to do it would be with in IF statement in the template as so:

<% if Children %>
<% if URLSegment="industry-practice">

<li class="$URLSegment"><a href="$Link" title="{$Title}" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="{$Title}" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</li>
<% else %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="{$Title}" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>

<% end_if %>
<% else %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="{$Title}" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_if %>

Anyway this doesn't work but is it possible to do something like <% if URLSegment="industry-practice"> ? Otherwise is their an easier way to selectively display a second level menu item based on a class?

Maybe you're looking for

<% if InSection(page-url) %>

?

have a look at -
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls#links_and_class_s

for a range of things you can do. <% if InSection %> or <% LinkOrSection %> might work well

Thanks both for your help. InSection doesn't seem to work for me. I played around with

<% if Title=PageTitle %> instead and it worked to a point. First I tried a page with only one word as the title but then I tried the page I wanted called "Industry Practices" and it doesn't work. ie

<% if Title=Industry Practices %>

It obviously doesn't like the spacing but I have no idea how to overcome this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Why doesn't InSection work?

Or else URLSegment must work.. but remember you shouldn't use quotes, at least that's what the docs say.

So:

<% if InSection(industry-practice) %>

<% end_if %>

or

<% if URLSegment = industry-practice %>

If none is working I think something else might be wrong...

I gave URLSegment a go and it didn't work at first. I then renamed the page URL and it worked? So all is well now.

Thanks very much for you help.
