    Hi.

    Newb here, apologies for dumb questions. I cannot find answers in help files or on google.

    How do you guys manage menu hierarchies?

    I have created a deep hierarchy just for testing purposes of pages and symlinks and what have you, just to test out the menuing features.

    I have noticed the following:

    1) I cannot get more than a single level deep to display. I am certaing I am doing something wrong, however, all resources are published and should be visible.

    2) At juncture points (folders), sometimes you don't want a page so it should not be clickable. I have noticed that either I can have a resource available for an on click or a symlink that kinda sorta is a null menu item but isn't because it redirects to the home page.

    How do you guys build hierarchies where the parent folder is not clickable and only displays the child menu items on mouseover?

    Thanks!

    Robert

      Are you using Wayfinder to create the menus (that's what most of us use)? You can change the &parentRowTpl so it doesn't have an a tag. That will keep the parent listings from being clickable.
