Hi All,

I'm trying to build a side menu of links for a portal and would like to avoid hard coding the full URL for each link.  Is there a way to get the current URL without the page name? 

For example, let's assume this is the URL for my intranet:

http://intranet

Regardless of where I am on the intranet, I'd like my first link to point to Page1.aspx.  This would work fine if I am always in the root of the site but sometimes I may be a few levels deep and that wouldn't allow the link to work like this:

href=Page1.aspx

How can I get the URL of the current portal without the page name?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Sebastion,

Sorry, I don't follow.

Let's say I have the following pages:

home.aspx
parent.aspx
---- Child1.aspx
---- Child2.aspx

I'd like make a module with links that would always point to home.aspx and parent.aspx regardless of the level within the portal but I don't want to hard code the full path.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Mark

If you are building the module yourself then this is possible -  however I would suggest that instead of a module - you should be looking a creating a skin object.  Using a skin object will let you add the menu to EVERY page on your site by placing the object on your SKIN as opposed to manually adding a module to your pages,

A good place to start maybe would be looking at the code from Leftmenu skin object - /admin/skins/LeftMenu.ascx.cs.

It show a detailed example of how to create a left side menu - and how to loop thru the TabController to dynamically build your list of pages on the fly.  In fact, it would be reasonable easy to just copy this skin object and add the code to include the HOME Page and PARENT Page at the top of the menu when its drawn.
