hi victor,

i am facing a problem in displaying dropdown menu with liferay jedi theme. Observe the below two images. In menu1.png , Collaboration is the main page and sub pages are calendar, technical documents, discussion forum,wiki and mail. now it is displaying correctly. But when more main pages are added in the portal, see menu2.png the second row effects the dropdown menu of collaboration. U can see from the image that the Calendar page is missing. How to overcome this problem to display the dropdown menu correctly.

Thanks in Advance,
V.Auditya

Auditya, there are at least two areas to look at:
1. within navigation.vm, limit your exposure to child page levels, (may be to one?). You would not want to display more than 2 levels and 10+ child/subchild links from the top menu anyway.
2. look at css classes, defined for menu items. It is very likely that this is the style that produces all the mess.

Liferay Jedi and Classic should support Child Pages.

Is there some example code where I can change my existing Theme to show child pages?

All I want to do is have a simple 2 level structure for help pages.

Parent1
- Child 1
Parent 2
- Child 2
etc,etc,

I just need the ability to view and manage child pages in the Manage pages portlet (not sure what that portlet is actually called).

ANY help and guidance to enable this would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks!!

here is a sample, you need to modify navigation.vm file in your theme.


<div
#if ($page_group.isOrganization() || $page_group.isUser())
class="profile"
#else
class="sort-pages modify-pages"
#end

id="navigation"
>
<ul>


#foreach ($nav_item in $nav_items)
#if ($nav_item.isSelected())
#set ($nav_item_class = "selected parent-nav-item")
#else
#set ($nav_item_class = "parent-nav-item")
#end

<li class="$nav_item_class">
<a href="$nav_item.getURL()" $nav_item.getTarget()><span>$nav_item.getName()</span></a>

#if ($nav_item.hasChildren())
<ul class="child-menu">

#foreach ($nav_child in $nav_item.getChildren())
<li>
<a href="$nav_child.getURL()" $nav_child.getTarget()> $nav_child.icon() $nav_child.getName()</a>
</li>
#end
</ul>
#end
</li>
#end
</ul>
</div>

Hi Supreme T

Thanks for the code.

But I already have this in my navigation.vm - at least something similar that deals with children.

And if I put on a Navigation Portlet - it reads all levels fine.

What I am unable to do is to manage those child pages. Once I create a child page it is not possible to go back and change or manage them.

I believe this is in the layout_management portlet - but I don't really see any source code for that...so not sure where I can make any changes.

But it is the spot where we select "Manage Pages".

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Richard, some themes behave extremely bad for 'Manage Pages' portlet, to the extent that you are not able to proceed to a page which you need to manage.

The temporary workaround is:
- go directly to the child page and only after that select 'Manage Pages'
- change to a different browser type, go to 'Manage Pages' and see whether those little arrows will allow you to drill-down to child pages, or
- change to another base theme, at least one of them will work for you in 'Manage Pages'

The permanent solution, create and maintain own theme.

hai
what about, how to set the display order automatically
rather than go to control panel> portlet> communities>public pages>pages>etc to do it manually?so if i create a new instance the order would be automatically the same


Best Regards.
