Issue with menu levels
11 July 2009 at 12:05pm
Hey
I have the following code in a Includes/Navigation.ss file:
<ul>
<% control Menu(1) %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a></li><% if Menu(2) %>
<ul id="Menu2">
<% control Menu(2) %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode"><span>$MenuTitle.XML</span></a></li><% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %><% end_control %>
</ul>And the Page.ss simply does a: <% include Navigation %>
My problem is that the list output from Navigation.ss is not including the second level (i.e. Menu(2) ). However, there is a menu(2) existing for one of the top level menu items, and this is correctly outputted on that item's page (e.g. when I click that page - as in Layout/Page.ss there is output code similar to above to show the Menu(2) items and breadcrumbs etc.)
So basically, it will find/output menu(2) only when the page that actually has a menu(2) component is "active" - and not just on the homepage for example.
What could be going wrong here?
Thanks

Menu(2) returns the menu for the current page, not the page within the loop.
Instead of doing the <% control Menu(2) %> inside the <% control Menu(1) %> you need to do <% control Children %> instead. To make sure the 2nd level is only shown when you are on that parent page or a child page of that you can wrap the <% control Children %> in a <% if LinkOrSection = section %> which will return true if you are on that page or a child of that page
