Hi, My brief requires that the home page navigation uses OnlyExpandActive="False", and all other pages use OnlyExpandActive="True". My plan is to use 2 NavMenu instances in my skin, using the DisplayPaths attribute to ensure that the instance with OnlyExpandActive="False" only appears on the Home page, and the OnlyExpandActive="True" instance doesn't appear on the Home page, but does appear on every other page. But, I can't get the DisplayPaths property to work at all. I'm not a RegEx whizz, and I need something equivalent to the SQL of "LIKE '%/Home/%'" and "NOT LIKE '%/Home/%'. Can anyone help? Thanks!

The regex for that gets tricky because you probably also want the main domain by itself which won't have "Home" in the url. It would be easier to just create a copy of your skin, and change the properties for the home page, then apply that to the home page only.

Thanks for that John. Your solution was always my plan B - not as elegant, but good enough I guess!

We could work on doing it the other way, but I have tried that before and ended up going back to the simple (less elegant) way. To answer the original question, for the one with Home it would just be DisplayPath="Home" and to do everthing that doesn't have Home it would be DisplayPath="(?!Home)"
