Hello guys!

I want to disable the parent page from the drop down menu (navigation).
Lets say that this is my menu.

Home | News | Information | Matches | Photos | Contact

When I hover with my mouse on Information, there comes a drop down menu, with a couple of childs.. ( see attached file)
So i want to disable (unclickable or whatever) the INFO from the drop down, but you can click on childs...

Thanks already :)

Say this is your Navigation code:

<ul class="mainMenu">
<% control Menu(1) %>	  
	<li class="liMainMenu">
		<a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode aMainMenu">$MenuTitle.XML</a>
		<% if children %>
			<ul class="subMenu1"> 
				<% control children %>
					<li class="liSubMenu1"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode aSubMenu1">$MenuTitle.XML</a></li>
				<% end_control %>
			</ul>
		<% end_if %>
	</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>

You would want to change it to this:

<ul class="mainMenu">
<% control Menu(1) %>	  
	<li class="liMainMenu">
		<% if children %>
			<span class="$LinkingMode aMainMenu">$MenuTitle.XML</span>
			<ul class="subMenu1"> 
				<% control children %>
					<li class="liSubMenu1"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode aSubMenu1">$MenuTitle.XML</a></li>
				<% end_control %>
			</ul>
		<% else %>
			<a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode aMainMenu">$MenuTitle.XML</a>
		<% end_if %>
	</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>

Hi Guys,

I'm also trying to achieve this as well. I am very new to Silverstripe.

My navigation code is:

<ul id="Menu1">
<% control Menu(1) %>
<% if Children %>
<li class="top $LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" class="top_link" title="View more info about $Title"><span>$MenuTitle</span></a>
<ul class="sub1">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="View more about $Title" class="fly $LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</li>
<% else %>
<li class="top $LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" class="top_link" title="View more info about $Title"><span>$MenuTitle</span></a></li>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
</ul>

I have multiple child menu's for different parent pages but only want to disable the parent of 1 of them. Thanks, been trying for hours. Being new to this it might be a lot simpler than I realise.

Thanks it worked for me!

@knrd you have to delete <a href="$Link" class="top_link" title="View more info about $Title"> and </a>...

This is mine now:

<div id="navigation_row"> &nbsp; </div>

<!-- [if IE6]><div id="IE6"><![endif]-->
<ul id="menu_list">
<% control Menu(1) %>
<% if Children %>
<li class="top $LinkingMode">
<span class="top_link" title="$Title">$MenuTitle</span>
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class="sub1">
<% if ClassName != NewsArticleHolder %>
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="$Title" class="fly $LinkingMode" <% if is_a(RedirectorPage) %><% if RedirectionType = External %>target="_blank"<% end_if %><% end_if %>>$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>
</ul>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
</li>
<% else %>
<li class="top $LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" class="top_link" title="$Title"><span>$MenuTitle</span></a></li>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<!-- [if IE6]></div><![endif]-->

I hope you'll solve it :)

knrd, one thing you could do is in the CMS make that parent page a redirector page, and redirect it to the first child.

Thanks very much. Ampedup that sounds like the best solution. Will see how I go.
