Hi John,

I want mine to do this as well, but it is not. What settings do I need to keep the child menu links to stay visible once you are on one of the child pages?

To keep the child menu active while you are on one of the child pages you would set:

showType="WithActiveParent"

Where do I put that? I am a complete DNN noob.  I normally use joomla (PHP-based)

Thanks!
Jill

Hi Jill,
It goes in your skin where the Snapsis:NavMenu is defined.

The documentation in the package covers this, but if you are starting completely from scratch then you may want to learn a little more about DNN skins first.

John,

I actually tried that before posting....and I just tried it again...


Am I doing that right? It didn't work. I will check out the documentation. I didn't make the skin, Nina Meiers did. Thank you.

John,
I checked the documentation and it was what I was trying to do.  So i am a bit confused.  However, I am not sure if I am doing it right because she is using a solpart menu for the child menu.  I was putting the showType="WithActiveParent" in the parent .

I see my paste didn't take in the last post...this is what I put in

Snapsis:NavMenu id="ParentTabs" Level="0" Recurse="false" NavType="Tabs" ExcludeTabs="Admin,Host" runat="server" showType="WithActiveParent"

The child code is

dnn:SOLPARTMENU runat="server" id="dnnSOLPARTMENU" display="vertical" level="Child" usesubmenubreadcrumbarrow="False"  usearrows="False"

Hmmm, I'm not sure what is happening here, but it looks like Nina has given you a child menu using the Solpart DNN Menu. If that is the case then what I am telling you will not work.

I'll ask Nina to help with this.

okay, I switched the solpartmenu to a snapsis childmenu. So it now works, but it obviously loses all of the solpartmenu css formatting. I redid the CSS file, but that is not my strongest point and I can't get the flyouts to work. The "grandchildren" and inline with the children. I tried copying it from your vertical flyout and changed it to #Nav to #ChildTabslevel1, but it didn't work

#ChildTabsLevel1 li ul { /* second-level lists */
position : absolute;
left: -999em;
background-color:#d8edfb;
margin:-1.9em 0 0 14em;
border:1px solid #333;
}

Any thoughts?

It sounds like you are on the right track. I'm guessing you want a Flyout menu for the vertical child menu then.

Make sure you change all the #nav to #ChildTabsLevel1 and also make sure that is the ID that you have given your new Snapsis child menu in the skin file.

Snapsis:NavMenu id="ChildTabsLevel1"

I can't really tell what may be wrong without seeing the full CSS, and it would be even better if I had the full skin. If you can send it to me by replying to the notification of this post then I may be able to figure out what is not working.

I want to use the flyout menu but the problem I have is that de control does not create a multilevel list. I have a page structure like this:

Page 1
   Page 1.1
   Page 1.2
Page 2
   Page 2.1
   Page 2.2

The only thing I get is one list with

  • 's. Second levels are display with the css class "level1".

    How can I get a flyout menu???

    Please help

    Set the NavType="Hover" to do Flyout menus like suckerfish. The NavType="Tabs" is for the sliding doors type of tab menu and produces only a single List like you described.

    I did set it to "Hover" but it won't work. All I get is one list with < li >'s that are identified with classes like "level0" and "level1". Does it require an update?
