What kind of "submenu points" are you thinking of?
in the standard installation there are * Archive * About * Drafts * Admin * Debug
what do I have to do, to get something like this:
* Archive * About * my wife * my house * my boat * Drafts * Admin * Debug
@leerraum, this doesn't happen out of the box afaik.
these were the steps i did to create the sub nav the way you want it:
- any sub nav items were grouped under a common
Parent Page
in thePage > Configure > URL Settings
- the outputted data source used has the default
<navigation>
node with thisnavigation.xsl
template applied to it. - i called this template from the main template like so
seems like there's an issue with markdown and using code blocks after a list
<xsl:apply-templates select="data/navigation"> <xsl:with-param name="area" select="'main'" /> </xsl:apply-templates>
the reason why I have the area
param is b/c i applied this same template to my main menu at the top of the page and then my footer at the bottom. I only wanted my sub nav to be produced on my main menu. so by specifiying the area
param, i was able to achieve this result.
towards the bottom of the navigation.xsl
file, you'll see this recursive call:
<xsl:if test="page and $area = 'main'">
this asks if there are anymore children of the current node with the name page
and if the $area
is the main (menu) area. if both of these parameters are met, then reapply the page
template (<xsl:template match="page">
) with the next two parameters: area
(same as above) and parent
. this is merely to build out the correct url string.
i didn't test this out for multiple levels, only on the first sub nav level. But the logic seems like it should work as long as the children nodes are named page
.
note - line 27, if you want the admin menu to show up, replace THE_USER_NAME
with the appropriate user name.
hope this helps.

Hi,
after I got this thing working, I like it! But what I'm still missing is a possibility to make submenu points. Did I missed something or is it not possible yet? Is there an extension for it?
Thanks leerraum
