**SOLVED** Children of Children?
13 February 2013 at 3:56am Last edited: 13 February 2013 5:23am
Hi All,
I've been beating my head against the wall with this one.
I have a Sidebar menu which displays the page (Services) and then the children of the page (Service1, Service2 etc.)What I want is to also be able to show the Children of the subpages as well. Something Like this:
Services
Service1
Service1 Extra Details
Service1 Extra Info
Service1 Extra Other
Service2
Service2 Extra Details
Service2 Extra Info
Service3
Service3 Extra DetailsIs this possible?
All I have so far is this
<ul id="Menu2">
<% control Menu(2) %>
<% if Children %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode levela"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a><% end_if %>
<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<% if Children %>
<ul class="sub">
<li>
<ul class="roundWhite">
<% control Children %>
<li><a style="padding-left:40px; font-size:10px" href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode levelb"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a></li>
<% end_control %></ul>
</li>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul> -

As you already mentioned, it is in fact children of children.
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li>
<a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode levelb"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li>
<a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode levelc"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %> -

Thank you so much Devlin, I tried so many variations but never got his one!

Actually it's not quite solved yet, D'oh!
When I go to any of the subpages I'd still like to have the full menu for that section show (parent pages included).
Instead it's only showing children of the current page?
Any ideas on this? -

This is because of the "<% if LinkOrSection = section %>" and the corresponding "<% end_if %>" in your template. It checks if the page is currently active or is a parent page of your current page... and if this is the case, the template will show the submenu.
If you remove this, the template will always show the submenu. -

Hi Devlin,
"<% if LinkOrSection = section %>" doesn't seem to be in my code. This is what I have right now:
<% if Children %>
<ul id="nav2" class="mobnav nav">
<% control Children %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode levela"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li>
<li><a style="padding-left:40px; font-size:10px" href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode levelb"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %> -

Hi Ambient
This is probably a CSS issue now. If you inspect your html you'll see that $LinkingMode returns either current, or section depending on the page current being viewed. You'll have to properly setup your CSS to work with these class names to display your menu how you want it.

You still need the control Menu(2) in your template to deliver the template a starting point for seeking children. Right now the template checks if the current page has children.
<% if Menu(2) %>
<ul>
<% control Menu(2) %>
<li>
<a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode levela"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li>
<a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode levelb"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li>
<a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode levelc"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>
