Custom external links within navigation control
6 November 2008 at 6:48am
I want to link to external pages within my navigation. Is it possible to check the urlsegment within the control loop? Something like this:
<ul class="ir nav">
<% control Menu(1) %>
<li class="ir-$URLSegment"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode"><em>$MenuTitle</em></a>
<ul id="sub-$URLSegment">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
<% if $URLSegment="admissions" %>
<li><a href="#">Test Link</a></li>
<% end-if %>
</ul>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>Basically I want to use the $URLSegment variable to test if I'm on the admissions page, and if so print links accordingly.
Thanks for the help.

yes, but withing <% %> tags, you drop the dollar sign and the quotes. Also use == instead of =.
ie:
<% if URLSegment == admissions %>
<li><a href="#">Test Link</a></li>
<% end_if %> -

Perfect! That works great, thanks for your help!

I just realized my logic is screwy. I need the navigation to add links to external pages. For instance, the prior logic only added the "Test Link" where URLSegment == admissions. I need it to add that test link all the time under the admissions navigation. Is that possible? I'll keep looking.

Move it into the control loop. At the moment you have it outside of the control loop.

Unfortunately even though that logic seems better, the "Test Link" doesn't appear in the menu. Here is what my code looks like now:
<ul class="ir nav">
<% control Menu(1) %>
<li class="ir-$URLSegment"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode"><em>$MenuTitle</em></a>
<ul id="sub-$URLSegment">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% if URLSegment == admissions %>
<li><a href="#">Test Link</a></li>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>Sorry to keep this going, I was just hoping this sort of thing would be rather simple.
Thanks again for your help!
