Show in navigation - not working properly

Hi,

I've a main nav across the top, when you click into one of those top level nav pages you can see the subpages in the nav on the left.

Adding a new page and setting it so it doesn't show in the navigation works as expected. However, the page in question has lots of sub pages and if I set it to not appear in the nav then the subpages no longer appear in the left nav, so there doesn't appear to be a way to get to them anymore.

If I set the parent page to appear in nav then the left nav re-appears. This is weird as I've got other pages in the same site (not created by me) that appear to have the exact functionality I want. They don't appear in the main nav but when you go to them the left-size subpage all appear.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 4/30/2012 6:40:30 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Hello, It sounds like a difference between absolute and relative path property in your left navigation web part. Could you please post an export of your web part settings (last link at the bottom of the web part's properties)? Best regards, Jan Hermann


Member	eoin-fusio - 4/30/2012 6:47:48 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I'll try and find where the web part properties are, although to be honest I didn't think I was using any web parts. In any case, I'll give it a go and will post what I find.


Member	eoin-fusio - 4/30/2012 6:50:46 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly hmm...ok, running out of options. Is this in the CMSDesk or Site Manager?


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 4/30/2012 7:00:05 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Hello, Please check both of your web part properties: CMS Desk -> Content -> <document or master page> -> Edit -> Design (tab) -> <navigation web part> -> <toothed wheel icon> Best regards, Jan Hermann


Member	eoin-fusio - 4/30/2012 8:12:49 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly I don't appear to have a design tab. Page -- Form -- Properties. Are the only ones I can see within the edit area.


Member	eoin-fusio - 4/30/2012 8:27:31 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Just checking the documentation and it looks like the Design tab is for portal engine users which I don't think I am. Is this topic in the wrong forum maybe?


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 4/30/2012 8:29:00 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Hello, Yes, I am sorry, my fault. You aren't using portal engine for developing your page templates. In your case the menu properties are right in the aspx templates in your filesystem. Best regards, Jan Hermann


Member	eoin-fusio - 4/30/2012 8:34:51 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly Hi, no problem. I'm just getting familiar with Kentico so probably should have been clearer about portal vs template engine. I any case I've gone to the Site Manager --Development -- Page Templates But I can't see a properties tab for any of the templates I select.

RE:Show in navigation - not working properly

Hello,

No, there is no properties tab, but on the General tab you can see a File name property which contains something like this:

~/CMSTemplates/CorporateSite/MyTemplateASPX.aspx

And this is a path to your filesystem, where the template is located. If you open this file, you will see a code for controls and web parts used on that template and you are looking for following web part:

<cms:cmslistmenu runat="server" ID="wM" Path="/%" ClassNames="CMS.MenuItem" MaxRelativeLevel="2" WhereCondition="MenuItemGroup <> 'footer' OR MenuItemGroup IS NULL" RenderCssClasses="True" />

Best regards,
Jan Hermann


Member	eoin-fusio - 5/2/2012 5:08:06 AM RE:Show in navigation - not working properly It turned out that the system I'm working with has propritary code added to it that was additional to the stock Kentico code, hence the problems with the nav. Fixed it now though, thanks for all the help.

Could you please guide me or show an example so that I can understand. Thank you in advance. Regards, Vinod
