Author Drop Down Menu Navigation

2007-04-13, 1:26 am

Hi all,

I had accomplished the drop down menu on HOVER across the top of the page but my implementation only showed the second level pages in the crop down.

That is we have the first level on the top of the page (ibm default). Then i modified the topNav.jspf so that under each parent page, i could see the corresponding child pages on hover. But when we hover on each of the child pages, then we want the subseq
uent child pages to appear. So what we need a recursive kind of thing. This should continue till all the levels are scanned.

So if someone has implemented a similar kind of thing, please help me out. I really need help in this regard and have no idea how to do it. If i am doing something wrong please me out.

Thanks
Looking for help ASAP

The issue you are reporting is as expected as default behavoir in v6, but was different in v5. To resolve It has to do with the config parameter called "navigation.expansion.defaultstate".

In portal 6, by default - navigation.expansion.defaultstate = (false) whereas in portal 5.1.x, by default - navigation.expansion.defaultstate = (true) so as it is false, the nodes will be collapsed in Portal 6.

Here are the things you need to do --
1) Use this url, which shows to do change the value --
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...s/adsetcfg.html

2) there might be a possiblility that you might not see in the list of parameters of WP config

just add this parameter - navigation.expansion.defaultstate = true

3) Restart your portal server

Good to know that you had success implementing HOVER on Menus, we are as well in a crunch mode trying to implement. I would like you to share your code so that we can try and see how it works out for us and it will be of great help...

Hi,

I want to implement the similar way like on hover on tab/page we have to show child pages and hover on each child pages we have to show pages again under child pages.

Can you please share your code. My mail id - sankarpersonal@yahoo.com
