I wonder if anyone may be able to help me. I am trying to use Superfish navigation - nav bar style to create a horizontal nav-bar with a horizontal second tier
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#examples

So far I have it in place, using this code in page

<ul id="topmenu" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
        	<% control Menu(1) %>

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

        <% end_control %>
	</ul>		

However when the child page is a selected page, it disappears.
I see it is being used on this site: http://aucklandringcompany.co.nz/ built by NickJacobs but I cant work out how.
It seems to be something to do with Highlighting the current page and the section class.

Can anyone help?

If you find the solution for this could you drop the code in here?

Hi, this is how I have set it up:

In Page.php

Requirements::javascript('js/superfish.js');
Requirements::css('css/superfish.css');
Requirements::css('css/superfish-navbar.css');
		

Navigation.ss

<ul id="topmenu" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
   
<% control Menu(1) %>

   <li <% if LinkOrSection = section %>class="current"<% end_if %>><a href="$Link"  >$MenuTitle</a> 
         <% if Children %> 
         <ul>
         <% control Children %> 
            <li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a></li> 
         <% end_control %> 
         </ul>
         <% end_if %> 
      </li>     
      
<% end_control %>  

</ul>

in Page.ss

$(document).ready(function(){ 
		
	

        $("ul.sf-menu").superfish({ 
            pathClass:  'current',
		autoArrows:    false,     
    		dropShadows:   false ,
		pathLevels: 3                 
            
        }); 
}
		

Pretty sure that's it (it was a while ago)....If it still doesn't work let me know.

Amazing! Many thanks for your help. It all seems to be working with a little tweaking. I am also using hoverIntent which solved the problem of the page width change on dropdown, and is a nice fade effect.

One more question, how would I hide the children of some pages on the navigation?
I have tried

	<ul id="topmenu" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
<% control Menu(1) %>

<li <% if LinkOrSection = section %>class="current"<% end_if %>><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a> 
<% if Children %> 
<ul> 
<% control Children %> 
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a></li> 
<% end_control %> 
</ul> 
<% end_if %> 
</li>

<% else %> 
<<% if Title = What's New %> 
<% end_if %> 
<% end_control %>
</ul>

looks like you've missed the start of your if statement from that post.....

.... but i see what your trying to do. I would tend to use URLSegment..that title you've got in there isn't going to work, so something like:

<% control Children %>

<% if URLSegment != what-s-new %>

<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a></li>

<% end_if %>

<% end_control %> 

note that the URLSegment for What's New would be what-s-new

Okay, So it is now applying, but applying to all the children not just whats new. What is it I am doing wrong?

	<ul id="topmenu" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
<% control Menu(1) %>

<li <% if LinkOrSection = section %>class="current"<% end_if %>><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a> 
<% if Children %> 
<ul> 
<% control Children %> 
<% if URLSegment != what-s-new %>
<li></li>
<% end_if %>
<% else %> 
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a></li> 
<% end_control %>
</ul> 
<% end_if %> 
</li>
<% end_control %>

</ul>

Right, The closest I have managed to get is to show everytime I am on the section - whats new all the children show nothing. However this is applying across the whole navigation and not just the children of Whats new. How do I make just the children of Whats new not appear?

What I have so far:

	<ul id="topmenu" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
<% control Menu(1) %>

<li <% if LinkOrSection = section %>class="current"<% end_if %>><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a> 

<% if InSection(what-s-new) %>
<ul>
<% control Children %> 
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >blank</a></li> 
<% end_control %> 
</ul>
<% else %>

<ul> 
<% control Children %> 
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" >$MenuTitle</a></li> 
<% end_control %> 
</ul> 
<% end_if %> 
</li>

<% end_control %>

</ul>

Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated, I am out of ideas.
