Two questions and any help would be appreciated.

Anybody know how to set the cssselected attribute for the dnnmenu/dnnNav menu skin object?  I want the selected tab to remain a certain color after the tab has been selected.  I have tried the following in my ascx file

CSSNodeSelectedRoot="main_dnnmenu_selected"

and added this to my skin.css file

.main_dnnmenu_selected
{
 color: red;
 cursor: default; /* I want the cursor to become a pointer when the page is selected */
}

Also, I have 2 dnnmenu's on my page - one as a horizontal root menu and the other as a left menu that I only want to show the children of the main root menu.  I have the main menu doing what I want, but the 2nd menu shows both parent items and children.  I setup up the properties of the first menu as such:

ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="false" StartTabId="-1"

What do I need to change/modify in these properties to have the 2nd menu show only the children tabs of the main root menu items?

Thanks,

Helpdesk,

I'll start by answering the second question.  To display only the child menu of the root site you would want to say start tab=1 and level=child.  If you ommit the starttabid you will then get the children of the current page. 

 

here's the code in my dnn:nav object for the main menu bar, some css classes are unnessecary because the DNNMenu provider does not impliment them. Some of the items I've used but are not implimented are the menu separator, menu arrow, separatorhtml, and the css menubar.  If i switch the property ProviderName=SolPartMenuNavigationProvider then I get access to these extra features but i'd rather stick with the dnnmenu because it does do what I need.

 ID="MainMenu" runat="server"
SeparatorHTML="|"
CSSControl="mainmenu_menubar"
Level="Root"
CSSContainerRoot="mainmenu_menucontainer"
CSSNode="mainmenu_menuitem"
CSSIcon="mainmenu_menuicon"
CSSNodeRoot="mainmenu_menuitem"
CSSContainerSub="mainmenu_submenu"
CSSBreak="mainmenu_menubreak"
CSSNodeHover="mainmenu_menuitemsel"
CSSIndicateChildSub="menu_menuarrow"
CSSSeparator="mainmenu_separator"
CSSIndicateChildRoot="menu_menuarrow_hidden"
MouseOverDisplay="highlight"
PathSystemImage="[APPIMAGEPATH]"
PathImage="[HOMEDIRECTORY]"
ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"
IndicateChildren="True"
PopulateNodesFromClient="True"
intDepth="1"

 

One feature that all the DNN navigation implementations are missing which i would like to see added is the "Menu Break" functionality.  A simple line that can be used to break up items in a list. I've used that feature of the solpart menu in non-dnn implimentations but it has been ommitted for dnn nav.  Perhaps it could be a new Page property, IsMenuBreak. I may toy around with this option, i started working on it awhile back but dnn was being updated alot in the past 6 months so i abandoned that project.

Did you have any luck finding out how to do this?  I believe you are describing the same effect that is currently on the salaro website. Except that you have root-only menus.

If you've had any luck please let me know how you made out.  I've been luckless so far except for the bad kind.
Thanks.
