I have a similar question to this one. If I wanted to include the page's (tab's) description on the page just under the title, what would the token be? I am guessing that it is <%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Description %>. Is that correct?

Yes, PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Description is a valid property.

Hi John, I use the Snapsis NavMenu and localized it with the Apollo PageLocalization module. Now, I would like to output the top-level navigation item name. I tried the following: <%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabName%> ...but this always returns the name in the language, i originally entered. How to output the localized (translated) value for the currently selected language? Cheers, Marcel

Hi Marcel, The BreadCrumbs are not translated, but something like this may work: <%= CType(PortalSettings.DesktopTabs(0),DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo).TabName %> Otherwise I would look for a special Breadcrumb that can be translated. I think Apollo does one.

Hi John, Thanks for your answer. Actually, all i wanted to do was to return the current 1st level menu item (localized) name, which would always be the first entry in a breadcrumb navigation. For instance with the menu structure: Home Products - Software - Hardware About Us - Jobs On the page "Hardware", it should return the string "Products" in the current language. Is this possible? Cheers, Marcel

You should probably get a localizeable Breadcrumb SkinObject to do that. I've been trying to figure out a way to do it, and all I can come up with would take a lot of code. Erik, who does the Apollo PageLocalization module may have a way to do it, and I think he has a module called MLBreadcrumb.

Yes, MLbreadcrumb, is just the localized version of the normal breadcrumb skinobject. Peter
