RE: Help for adding sub-menu

Hi

 

What I am trying to do is to make Main menu and a Submenu just below it
in the double template which will dependent on the Main menu buttons. 

 

For eg.

Level 1 buttons are : A1, B1

Level 2 buttons on clicking A1 should be: C2. D2

Level 2 buttons on clicking B1 should be: E2, F2 

 

In the existing template, the main menu buttons are linked with the
leftMenu. On clicking Main menu buttons, the associated links get
displayed 

in the LeftMenu.

 

In nav/menu.jsp currentPageId, startFromPageId are used to associte the
links with the correct Menu button. The same thing I was trying to do in


 

common/topmenu.inc (so that I am able to select a unique sub menu for
Unique button in the Main menu) which I am unable to do. What is the
correct way of doing this?

 

Thanks

 

Vivek

Thanks for your previous reply. It helps a lot. 

 

One more thing which I am trying to do in double template is to link
Submenus for each button of Main menu. For eg.

 

Level 1 buttons are : A1, B1

 

Level 2 buttons on clicking A1 should be: C2. D2

 

Level 2 buttons on clicking B1 should be: E2, F2 

 

Can you guide me, how to do this thing?

Hi,

There is two parts. First you need to declare your container list, and
the you need to display it.
Did you also change the name of the container List in the display part?

The easy way to add a list of sub pages would something like that. You
can try to copy/paste this code in your simple.jsp template:

<%
// declarations
%>
<content:declareContainerList name='yourNewContainerList' title='Your
Container list'>
<content:declareContainer>
    <content:declareField name='yourSubPage' title='Your sub page'
type='Page'/>
</content:declareContainer>
</content:declareContainerList>
<%
// display
%>
<content:containerList name='yourNewContainerList'
id='yourNewContainerList'>
<content:container id="leftMenuContainer">
    <content:pageField valueId="yourSubPage" name='yourSubPage'/>
    <logic:notEmpty name="yourSubPage">
        <a href="<bean:write name='yourSubPage'
property='url'/>"><bean:write name='yourSubPage' property='title'/></a>
    </logic:notEmpty>
    <jahiaHtml:actionMenu name="leftMenuContainer" namePostFix=""
resourceBundle="jahiatemplates.Corporate_portal_templates"
useFieldSet="false">
    </jahiaHtml:actionMenu>
    <br/>
</content:container>
<jahiaHtml:actionMenu name="yourNewContainerList" namePostFix=""
resourceBundle="jahiatemplates.Corporate_portal_templates"
useFieldSet="false">
</jahiaHtml:actionMenu>
</content:containerList>

You can also have a look at the content:absoluteContainerList tag if you
always want to get your container list on a specific pageLevel
(pageLevel="1" is the home page).

I hope it could help you.

Philippe.

Hello
 
I am trying to modify the existing double template in Jahia. My
requirements are:
 
To add a submenu consisting of buttons below the top menu and on
clicking those button-links a list of items should be created on left
but no drop down is required for menu buttons. For this I need certain
guidelines to start.
 
What I understood is that everything is governed by containers but how
to handle the containers according to my requirements?
 
What I did is made few jsps similar to common/topmenu.jsp,
common/topmenu.inc, common_var.inc, etc and included the jsps in the
top.inc and finally include top.inc in double.jsp. I have also changed
the container names. But from all these stuff I am able to get only two
duplicate menus.
 
Please guide me the correct way of doing this.
 
Thanks
 
Vivek
