This is awesome. Just can figure out how to have the top level menu with title of two words with space like ‘My Home’. Please advise if any idea.

Thanks

Hi Peter, Thank you for this sample, which is awesome and was a huge time-saver! There may be a reason why you organized the MasterPage this way, but one thing I modified in your code is the following: rather that have multiple datasources corresponding to each sub-section of the SiteMap, I added the sub-menu in the MasterPage, and hooked it up to a single data source, with a StartingNodeOffset of 1. As a result, there is no need to add code for the sub-menu in the pages - everything is in the MasterPage. I posted my modified MasterPage here

i’m new to asp.net

is it possible that the menu could be configured such that when the mouse hovers over the top the level the second levl becomes visible and can be navigated.

the practicalities of this is avoids going to the top level page to get to a wanted second level page

thanks

I did use tables because for some browser our css designer said he wanted tables. As rtpHarry says above, it could just have been lists.

I think I also just found a bug on Line 66 of MenuAdapter.cs:

filePath = folderPath.EndsWith(“/”) ? folderPath + “MenuAdapter.js” : folderPath + “/TreeViewAdapter.js”;

should be

filePath = folderPath.EndsWith(“/”) ? folderPath + “MenuAdapter.js” : folderPath + “/MenuAdapter.js”;

FIX FOR MENUS BEING RENDERED AS TABLES
To those having trouble with the menu still being rendered as tables the fix is pretty easy.

Here is a quick rundown:

1/ Open MenuAdapter.cs in the CssFriendlyModified project
2/ line 194 – replace table with ul
3/ lines 203-206 – comment out
4/ line 225 – comment out
5/ line 226 – replace table with ul
6/ line 236 – replace td with li
7/ line 366 – replace td with li

Thats it. If this gets out of sync in the future the basic theory is:

find anything that is table and replace with ul.

anything thats tr comment it out

anything thats td replace with li

This sample doesnt seem to fulfil all the design aims laid out in tutorial 2.

I got this sample and experienced the same thing – the menus are laid out in tables.

I tried disabling the CssFriendlyAdapters and it seems that it is running and cleaning up the table code a whole bunch but not doing the ul/li combo.

To check if this was a sample issue or not I went to the live site listed below and it also is displaying the menu in tables.

Did you decide not to implement the tables code in the end?

So I’m trying to figure out how you created css-class for each element and it seems to be in your CSSFriendlyModified.dll Can you fill me in on how you edited the dll?

Peter,

I downloaded your code and was able to get it to work fine. Now I’m attempting to adapt your code to work with the SqlSiteMapProvider instead of the XmlSiteMapProvider. I’m able to display the Parent menu with no problem, however the sub menu displays the same submenu items for every parent, it does not change when I click on a different parent. I’m having a hard time figuring out why this is happening. I was wondering if you or any one else reading this might have any suggestions.

Thanks,
