CSS List Menu and Child Pages with News List Behaviour

wajd haikal asked on February 18, 2014 16:47

Hi,

I have this scenario, Requirement:

  1. Have a Commites Page (root document) which will have a CSS List Menu and a placeholder which points to Each Commite Page (child pages)
  2. Each Commite Page will have its own news list

Problem, when I add the news list to one commite page, its being added on all child pages How can I make special data source news for each different commite page (Note:they all have the same commite page template)

You need to set your Path to a dynamic value like /{0}. If you have a setup like so:

  • Committee 1
  • Committee 2

When you're on /Committee-1, it will use that as the starting path. If you're selected on /Committee-2, it will use that as the path. Hope that helps.

I tried but the same problem, there might be a problem in the tree, please have a look, this might not work properly with news list and CSS menu list navigation:

Any comments?

I used this one finally:

/{0}/{1}/2014/%

it seems ok, if there is a note on the structure please recommend your answer!

How I typically set the structure up would be:

  • Committee 1 = Page
  • News = Page with repeater for listing of news items and selected item transformation. If you don't have a requirement to show that in a list on that news page then what you have would work.
