SelectList based on template

Hello John,

I have followed your advice and put a testpage online. I wonder why the first  Level1 item is not showing in the SelectList, also it seems that the click is gone. I have looked in the example skins which are shipped with the new version of the CSS NavMenu but none of them has a template file from which I could copy some code and search for the things that are missing.

I also put a tab menu with the attribute ChildrenOnly, but the level0 is still showing too. I tried to remove this with the attribute 'HideTabNamesByLevel' but this did not work.
Any ideas?

Best regards,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for purchasing.
For the SelectList showing only the children of a specific tab, I don't have
that option in the current version, but yes, you could do it with a
template.

I have attached a template to build a SelectList menu.
You can modify that to only have the Item levels that you want and then use
the IncludeTabs property to only do it on a specific parent.

For always showing the children of a specific parent then you can use
NavType="Tabs" ShowType="ChildrenOnly".


If you have more questions, lets discuss them in my support forum:

That way everyone can benefit.

Thanks,
John

Hello John,

I bought the latest version on snowcovered (7530_Snapsis.DNN.NavMenu_3.zip)
and really need your help on this.

My navigation must be as followed:

There are five level 0 items, I only want to show the children of one of the
items in a 'SelectList'; then the children of the selected child (level 2)
must be shown in a Tab menu (which shows only level 2)
Also I want to put another instance on my webpage which shows always the
children of another level 0 item, no mather what item will be selected in
the SelectList I mentioned earlier.

Is this possible, I tried several things but I got stuck... read the
documentation though; I think I need to use a template?
These might be high expectations. Please provide some help,

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I worked a bit on the website and changed the structure a bit so this means that the previous picture I've added to this post is not the actual pagestructure any more.
A updated picture is shown at the testlink; I'll keep this updated, probably work on it again tomorrow.

Regards,
Pascal

John, is this possible?

A page (PageA) which has it's parent on level0 (Home) holds a navigationmenu that shows children(level1-1) from a different parent (PageB) which is also on level0.
I want this menu always to show on every page in the website. The children on this navigationmenu are PageB1 and PageB2.

Home
....PageA
........PageA1
............PageA11
........PageA2
............PageA12
PageB
....PageB1
....PageB2

I tried several things, it must be a template also....that's when I got stuck...
I only managed to show children from PageA, can it be done with the CSSNavMenu?

Hi Pascal,

I'm not quite following this new idea.  It does sound like it will take a template to make it happen, but you may be able to do it with just different instances of the navMenu.

I've been trying to figure out why the select list doesn't work and it turns out to be a combination of things.

The template structure took a long time to get working with varying levels that are embedded inside each other and that works great, but it doesn't work on a simple list.  I'm correcting that issue now so that instead of using Containers and Items for a simple list all you will need is the Anchor element.

As soon as I get that working I'll send you an update and then we can try and tackle this new idea.

If you can mock up the menu structure you are looking for with simple html then it'll be a lot easier for me to visualize. 

Ok, I have a new DLL that will handle simple lists in the templates.

I'm attaching the template here, and I'll send you the DLL.

Thanks John!

Great support...again! This is why I use your CSS NavMenu, you did the job! Everything works just as I wanted. In a few weeks you can add the website to your references if you like.
I'm looking forward to the next project, CSS NavMenu works!

Best regards,
Pascal
