Selected Branch Only not working correctly
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hello!
I am trying to create a navigation for this site:
http://www.vitalplanet.net/html/publish/en/organization/index.shtml
On the left, you see the selected Branch Menu where the branch category is Organization. When i click on the sub item "Profile" the page reloads, the branch category (organization) remains and the subcategories of Profile are displayed. But the other subcategories (Values and Communications) of Organization are gone. These also needs to be displayed. This same problem also exists at the other categories (at the top): activities, info etc.
My template used for the navigation looks like this:
<ul>
<!-- templateInsert : $categoryList$ -->
<!-- templatecell : categoryRow -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '1' -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.name$ eq 'Frontpage' -->
<li style="display:none;"> </li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.name$ ne 'Frontpage' -->
<li class="top blue italic"><h1 class="blue italic">$category.name$</h1></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '2' -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ != '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ == '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$" class="selected">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '3' -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ != '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ == '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$" class="selected">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '4' -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ != '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.isSelected$ == '1' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$" class="selected">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templatecell : categoryRow -->
</ul>
The publish rule is set as:
Selected Branch Only (for lots of categories)
The navigation structure is set as:
- EN
- EN : Organization
- EN : Organization : Profile
- EN : Organization : Profile : Subcat
- EN : Organization : Values
- EN : Organization : Values : Subcat
- EN : Activities
- EN : Activities : R&D
- EN : Activities : R&D : Subcat
etc.
Can someone please help me to fix this problem?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you!

Hi nkerschgens,
I think the "One Level (recommended)" setting for your category menu publishing rule will accomplish the menu structure you're after - could you give that a shot and let me know if that's what you were looking for? If not I think some custom settings might be required here.
Don't hesitate to contact us.

I've changed it to One level (recommended). It is almost the menu that i need (please see attached file of currently navigation), but now i want to remove the other parent categories (activities, info, investor relations) from the Organization Menu. (see attached file to see how the menu needs to be)
So there needs to be some custom settings and scripting i think.

Hi nkerschgens,
Try using the following custom menu settings:
Show 0 level(s) of subcategories from root (always visible)
Show 1 level(s) of subcategories below selected category
Show parents only above selected category
Show selected category
I think that should work, but if not try fiddling with some of those settings. If anything is still off we'll probably need to set up some templateIf statements, but we can cross that bridge if we come to it.

Hi nkerschgens,
Try changing this:
Show 0 level(s) of subcategories from root (always visible)
To this:
Show 1 level(s) of subcategories from root (always visible)
I tested that out on my end, and it looks like this will work for you.

I've set the publish rule to:
-- Custom
--- Show 0 level(s) of subcategories from root (always visible)
--- Show 1 level(s) of subcategories below selected category
--- Show parent branches above selected category
--- Show selected category
Please see attached file to see the results.
When i navigate deeper within Organization, it all works fine (this is how it should be within a parent branch).
Now i need to remove the other Level 1 categories that are not "selected" (selected branch is now Organization).
The template looks now like this:
<ul>
<!-- templateInsert : $categoryList$ -->
<!-- templatecell : categoryRow -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '1' -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.name$ eq 'Frontpage' -->
<li style="display:none;"> </li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.name$ ne 'Frontpage' -->
<li class="top blue italic"><h1 class="blue italic"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$<a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$"></h1></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '2' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '3' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $category.depth$ == '4' -->
<li class="depth-$category.depth$"><a href="$published.en_vpCatIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templatecell : categoryRow -->
</ul>
Is there a way to define and check the SELECTED parent branch!? Cause when this is possible, it should be possible to work with if statements or php to get it done.

Hi nkerschgens,
I took a look at your site this morning and it looks like you got the menu to display according to the mock-up image you attached earlier.
Let us know if you need anything else!

Yes i got i fixed with 2 "menu's" The Level 1 category (Organization etc.) is displayed by a customized breadcrumb menu. The subcats are displayed with the custom option (show 0 levels of root, show 1 level of subs, show parents)
If someone needs the details, please let me know.
Thank you for your support!
