top menu and submenu changing according to top menu

oh! and me need this stuff. thanx for link!

Finally it works; here is the code for newbies..like me.



Now let’go further...
When I click on the top level menu, I want the page from the first position of the sub level menu displayed automaticaly.

After all that will make a nice tutorial to share.

Hi just use this snippet for that. Put the call for it in the content field of the folder which has the documents inside.

I think this is all a bit complicated... of course there is the CSS method, which I would favor...

I thought I had seen somewhere that you could use StartDoc=`[*id*]` and have a context dependent submenu... I can’t seem to find it...

What I did find though is the DropMenu hack posted by Dernier_recours :

Probably much simpler !

<div id="sub_menu">
[[DropMenu? &maxLevel=`1` &startDoc=[[UltimateParent]] &hereClass=`active_sub`]]
</div>

I was glad to find this because I’m in doubt that hiding submenus with help of some CSS is an accesible solution. Just turn off the CSS on modx-Website take a look at the main menu and you know what I mean. Yes, it is valid XHTML. But the menu-list is pretty long for screen readers an so on.

So I tried UltimateParent and also the above mentioned hack of DropMenu, to hide and show the submenus in a structure like this.

- item1
-- subitem1
- item2
-- subintem2

Well, when I clicked "item2" everything was all right. The menu looked like this.

- item1
- item2
-- subintem2

But when I clicked "item1" this happend:

- item1
- item2
-- subitem1

Hm. And the code isn’t far from perfect too - two lists but not nested.

Has anyone an idea?

Wayfinder has an option to hide submenus built in.. maybe try that?

Thank you, Doze. That looks pretty cool. I’ll give it a try.

I often use listchildorsibs or dropmenu in comination with ultimateparent or sectionroots.

In the meantime I tested wayfinder - it’s really a great snippets. No fiddling around with several snipptes and some weird HTML-Code. Your should give it a try, Dimmy.
