DDR Menu collapse function?

Hey,

i have a submenu that shows the childeren of the selected menu in the root. But it shows the childeren and all the subchildren.
I only want to see the subchildren of the current selected child and not the subchildren of the other childs. Any idea how to fix it.
Example (a= active child of menuitem 1):
Not
a
    a.aa
    a.bb
    a.cc
b
    b.aa
    b.bb
c
    c.aa
    c.bb

BUT
a
    a.aa
    a.bb
    a.cc
b
c

Any tips?

Hey Stephany
I think you will need to look at NodeSelector to achieve want you want..specifically NodeSelector="{root},{skip},{depth}"
See link below and and excerpt from that page here..perhaps this will help.
Options documentation link

NodeSelector»

NodeSelector determines which part of the page hierarchy to show in the menu. Use:

NodeSelector="RootOnly" to show only the root level menu items (alias for *,0,0)
NodeSelector="RootChildren" to show all the children of the root menu item that is the parent of the current page (alias for +0)
NodeSelector="CurrentChildren" to show the children of the current page (alias for .)
NodeSelector="pageID" to show the children of a specific page
NodeSelector="{root},{skip},{depth}" (where {skip} and {depth} may be omitted). {root} is * for the root, . or 0 for the current page, -n for n levels above the current page, +n for n levels down from the root menu towards the current page, PageID to select a particular page by ID or PageName to select a particular page by name. {skip} if provided skips that number of levels (e.g. 0 shows the selected page, 1 shows its children). {depth} if provided specifies the number of levels deep to go (e.g. 0 for just the current level, 1 to include immediate children).

Hi Stephany, I'm afraid that's not a standard behaviour of DDRMenu. You'll need to implement the logic in your template instead (basically by only calling the subnode template if depth=0 or breadcrumb=1).

Re: DDR Menu collapse function?

Could you expand on that at all? I am trying to do the exact same thing and I thought that customizing XML and using the Node XML path would work but that is simply causing an error telling me the menu is currently unavailable. I would like to use this menu but unfortunately this collapsing behavior is important to my client so I need to figure this out.

Re: DDR Menu collapse function?

I'm looking for the exact same solution. Anyone have an example/link of using the if/then statements in the Token Template file? Marks suggestion should be an easy fix, as I've tried every single combo of settings on the NodeSelector with no luck.

I had a css solution that works for the parent/children, but not when the child is the active page (seeing siblings).

Thanks for the help in advance.
