I got the menu welded into my CSS div-based skin. And it looks good although I still have some tweaking of colors and position. Below is a screen capture of the Home Page menu and child menus on image Working.gif.  On this page all of the child pages show and the child menu is positioned correctly.

On the Listed Homes page, shown in NotWorking.gif, the menu is up and off to the right. The Listed Homes page only has visible children if you are logged in. Some pages are visible from one role, others for another. I am logged in as a superuser and the Home Admin page that I use for managing the Adult Family Home Database is not visible.

There are similar problems on one of the two other pages with role-based visibility. They don't seem to be restricted to superuser.

Update: I have fixed the positioning issue by stuffing a
in the aspx.  I still don't see why the vertical height of the child meu items were differing heights to cause the problem. But that one is ok.

I have made my localhost visible for a while if you want to look at it.  To see the visable page issue I'd need to create and account for you.

I just switched back to you NavList from your Admin subset of the NavMenu




The NavMenu's first line is visable to users that re logged in even if thy don't have any admin role. NavList is invisible to them. Is there a way to get the same behavour?

Are you saying that you see admin menu items when logged in as a normal user?

I'm saying that I see the word "admin" but can't pull anything down

You can set the menu to ExcludeTabs="Admin,Host" but I'm surprised that those parent tabs show up if the user logged in does not have access to them.

 <Snapsis:NavMenuid="AdminHostList"Level="0-1" Type="SelectList"IncludeTabs="Admin,Host"runat="server"/>

Dotti doesn't have admin privs and this is what she sees.

Any idea on the missing pages?

Oh, I guess Admin Reports is a seperate tab then.
The reason it is showing is because it has the word Admin in it, but it should not show if the logged in user does not have permissions.

If it is supposed to show for Dotti, and you are not seeing pages below it then increae the level to Level="0-2" or higher.

Oh Dotti does have acccess to Admin Reports. I never even though about that being one of my pages. I assumed that you knew which pages were admin and host.
I'll just rename that page.   Maybe the test shouldn't be a wildcard'ed regexp, but just "Admin" and "Host".  Anyway I have renamed the page.

The missing pagea were "Home Admin"  and "Web Hosting Docs"  I suspect that maybe these are being caught by the same trap!

I renamed the "Home Admin" and "Web Hosting Docs" pages and they show up in the menu.  So this appears that there is a problem in how the menu excludes pages. Maybe users should be able to enter a regex but it shouldn't be the default.  Anyway I can rename these pages without any real problem.
