Hi, i'm new to the forum and to Umbraco. What I'm trying to do is to make a nested navigation. I've used the sample Navigation Prototype and modified it a little.

Basically what I'm trying to figure out is how you write a recursive function that'll show a menu item's direct children when it's the selected node.



This is my code...


It's probably an easy fix, but as I'm new to XSLT, XPath, XQuery, Xetcetera it's pretty alien to me, so I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Yeah, that works a little better, but I have a problem - if there's no descendants of the selected node it'll place the menu items that are supposed to be on the same level as children.

I see.. thats a little bug because of an empty list.

How about this:



Does that work properly?

I edited the very line that you pointed out for me. I'm not sure what that test-clause meant before, but now it is true if and only if there are more than 0 children of the "current" node. I use count() to count the children, and > '0' means "greater than 0".

So now, if the current node has children, then we'll go on and make a list of them. If current node is child-free, then we don't bother making an empty ul-tag.

Very Helpful. I just used this post to set up a chromemenu. The MenuItem variable is a true/false box added to the templates, can be removed.

<xsl:template match="/">
<div class="chromestyle" id="topmenu">
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//node">
<xsl:if test="data [@alias = 'MenuItem'] &gt; 0">
<xsl:if test="@level &lt; 2">
<li>
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(current()/@id)}">
<xsl:if test="count((current())/node) &gt; '0'">
<xsl:attribute name="rel">menudiv<xsl:value-of select="(current()/@id)" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</a>
</li>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</div>


<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//node">
<xsl:if test="data [@alias = 'MenuItem'] &gt; 0">
<xsl:if test="@level = 1">
<xsl:if test="count((current())/node) &gt; '0'">
<div id="menudiv{(current()/@id)}" class="dropmenudiv" style="width:150px;">
<xsl:for-each select="(current())/node">
<xsl:if test="data [@alias = 'MenuItem'] &gt; 0">
<xsl:if test="@level = 2">
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(current()/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

<script type="text/javascript">
cssdropdown.startchrome("topmenu")
</script>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/descendant::node">?
