Now i do like to kreate a submenu with header of klicked treemenu with all childs:

RE:Build a Submenu with CSS list webpart

Hi,

Thx for the hint. This one pushed me to thinking in other directions as before.

My Problem is that i have to generate a fulli UL / LI List Menu and Manage them by CSS.
Those Styles contains complex hierarchically differences and so it would be easier to render the whole menu in one List.

In the mean case i found out a WHERE Condition to get the a close Solution:

(({%cmscontext.currentdocument.documentid%} > 0) AND (NodeLevel > 2))

But, if I navigate to a sublevel I’ll lose the higher Information and nothing is displayed.

Maybe someone can help me to find out the right WHERE condition for the entire thread idea.

Best Regards

(({%cmscontext.currentdocument.documentid%}') OR (NodeLevel > 2)) Unfortunately this solution accepts only 2 Levels in navigation. A third one would display mismatch, but in my case it doesn’t madder. J4F

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am not sure if I understand your goal. According to your solution it seems that you needed to select documents from second level dynamically.

Just for information - following article about path expressions might be useful for you next time. You could set the Path property of menu webpart to work according to the current path.

For example:
/{0}/{1}/% - returns all documents under the second level of the current path

Best regards,

Only the childs. What i needet was a whole branche of a treemenu with submenus when they're clicket and all Parents be visible. J4F
