CMSListMenu - Using multiple doc types

Hi guys,

I've added a list menu to my masterpage, which I want to bring through CMS.MenuItem doc types and a custom doc type - CMS.Service.

As the documentation says I have semi-colon seperated the two in the 'Document types' field within the web part which looks like 'CMS.Service;CMS.MenuItem'.

However the CMS.MenuItem always seems to take preference and doesn't allow any others to be shown, as if I remove the MenuItem the services show but not when together.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Matt

I have set it as you have, but it worked just fine also with custom document type. Could you please check, what color has a point next to your custom document in a document tree? Could you please take a screenshot of your tree structure in CMS Desk? Best regards, Jan Hermann

Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 2/24/2012 5:14:29 AM RE:CMSListMenu - Using multiple doc types Hello, That's it! Your custom documents are located under a document (a folder is also a document type), which is not listed in the menu, so they can't be rendered in the menu. Please add a folder type to the Document types property: Pixel.Service;CMS.MenuItem;CMS.Folder Best regards, Jan Hermann

RE:CMSListMenu - Using multiple doc types

Hi Jan,

That's great thanks. I don't suppose you would know of any way to get that folder to not actually be seen in the navigation? Obviously we could set it to not be seen, but that would mean the docs underneath would also not be seen.

It's not a huge deal as we could just remove the folder, just thought I'd ask incase you knew of a quick fix.

Matt.

RE:CMSListMenu - Using multiple doc types

Hello,

Right, if you hide a parent document, all children disappear, because they would be floating somewhere in a space without a parent item (you actually broke a chain of the hierarchy). It would be possible to hide that folder by a css display:none property, but it does not make sense to have the Our services menu item and then one more level with the Services folder.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
