Hi,
I'm really breaking my head over this one:
I have a field "Layout" in all of my toplevel pages (with if(!this->parent){}).
On all children-pages I want to check what's the value of that field.
Based on that value I want to render a specific div-structure.
Next to that, the value is used to determine if the menu starts at level 1 or level 2.
So for example: if Layout = Youth, it has to render a menu on level 2 and is Layout = General, it has to render a menu on level 1.
Right now, I have the following code:
<% control Level(1) %>
<% if Layout = General %>
<div id=General>$MenuTitle.XML</div>
<% else_if Layout = Youth %>
<% control Children %>
<div id=Youth1>$MenuTitle.XML</div><div id=Youth2></div>
<% end_control %>
<% else_if .........
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
I thought that would be translated as: Check the data on level 1: if $layout on level 1 is General: use the general-behaviour. if $layout on level 1 is Youth, use the youth-behaviour. But apparently I'm wrong.
It works on all toplevel pages. If Layout = Youth: the toplevel-menu is replaced by a second-level menu and both div's are shown. However: after clicking on one of the second-level menuitems, everything is set back to the default layout, including the toplevel-menu.
I've tried the subsites module (that would be the best) but I can't get it working (I'm using a shared host and haven't DNS-access). That's why I'm trying this workaround. Does someone now what I'm doing wrong or what I could do better?
