Kentico Developer	kentico_ondrejv - 9/22/2008 4:05:59 AM RE:Cmslist Menu You can use 'CSS list menu' webpart. You could use 'path' property to cover up your product category (folder). Please see complete description of this webpart: http://devnet.kentico.com/downloads/KenticoCMS_WebParts.pdf You can use CSS stylesheets and design it to be the same as on Starter site.

RE:Cmslist Menu

Hi,

The menu item is displayed according the page template of document. The web parts could be placed in design tab, if you are using a Portal Engine. If you prefer ASPX templates mode, you could develop the ASPX template for the documents. The web parts are shared for all documents with the same page template.

The Ecommerce sample site uses the Datalist web part in the page template which is used for all nodes of product tree. This web part ensures displaying of all products –the transformation for displaying the single products is specified in web part properties -> Selected item transformation.

Please let me know, if you mean something else with your question.

RE:Cmslist Menu

Hi,

Thank you for your detailed explanation. It is now much clearer for me.

The design style could be set in CSS list menu web part properties in the Design section. There you could also assign a CSS prefix for classes in site stylesheet, which could be found in Site Manager -> Development -> CSS stylesheets.

You could inspire from the sample Ecommerce site, copy the code with LeftMenu prefix from Ecommerce CSS stylesheet and change it according your needs.

RE:Cmslist Menu

I am trying to use the cmslist menu....

I want to have my own class within the UL tag...reason is I want to set the margins on the list, how can I do this? It keeps trying to put in a standard one and I cannot find it in my stylesheet....

<ul id="menuElem"> is what it adds.

Also want to know if I can manually add a menu item to the end of the list through the control....let me know if I need to explain more.

RE:Cmslist Menu

Hello,

The simplest way how to achieve your goal with CSS designing is to define class container for your menu in 'HTML envelope' section. You can refer to your submenu link using:

.classContainer ul li ul li a
{
}

If you need exact class in your code, you can define it in 'CMS Desk -> Content -> <menu item> -> Properties tab -> Menu -> Menu item CSS class'. Then you may need to check 'Apply menu design' in menu webpart properties. It will generate appropriate class.

Another possibility is to check 'render CSS classes' in menu webpart properties, which will enforce generating CSS classes for <ul> and <li> elements: CMSListMenuUL, CMSListMenuLI and CMSListMenuLink. You can refer on them in CSS stylesheet.

For more information please see Webparts manual: http://devnet.kentico.com/downloads/KenticoCMS_WebParts.pdf on the page 129.

RE:Cmslist Menu

Whats this request ever implemented?. I have the same need.
Would like to control the rendered html inside each list item. Out of the box the cmslistmenu renders a link. I want to render something else for example .

<a href="/air-conditioning.aspx"><span>Air Conditioning</span><small>AC Repair & Services</small></a>.

right now I get something like this.
<li class="MainNav_CMSListMenuLINavFirst"><a class="MainNav_CMSListMenuLink" href="/Air_Conditioning.aspx">Air Conditioning</a>

</li>

Having control over the item template would be great at least an event handler that we can change the output html.

I am using version 5.5. R2

Thanks!


Kentico Developer	kentico_helenag - 5/26/2011 3:25:49 AM RE:Cmslist Menu Hello, You can rewrite the rendered HTML output in the <controlID>.RenderedHTML property. You can see some samples in this forum thread: http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums.aspx?forumid=36&threadid=7311 Best regards, Helena Grulichova
