TreeView-Navigation on the left instead of the NavigatonBar on top.

Hi everyone,

is it possible (think so) to remove the navigation on top and add a treeview navigation on the left? Does anyone have any samples or even some code to show? I think I have seen a few Community Server based sites where this was done.

Thanks,

I have my navigation working on the left now. Only problem left is... how do I set the depth of a link? This is the code I am using right now:

<asp:Repeater EnableViewState="false" runat="server" id="Menu"> 
  <HeaderTemplate>
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
    <tr valign="middle">
  </HeaderTemplate>
  <ItemTemplate>
    <tr>
      <td class="<%# ((bool) DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IsSelected")) ? "CommonSimpleTabStripSelectedTab" : "CommonSimpleTabStripTab" %>" onmouseover="tabOver(this);" onmouseout="tabOut(this);">
         <a href="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "NavigateUrl") %>">
         <img src="<%= Globals.GetSkinPath() %>/images/common/NavigationArrowRight.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Text") %>
        </a>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </ItemTemplate>
  <FooterTemplate>
    </tr>
    </table>
  </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

I can use:

<%# ((CommunityServer.Controls.RepeaterMenuBarItem)Container.DataItem).Depth %>   to get the depth of an Item but how do I set the Depth-property in SiteUrls.config?

Thanks,

Hi, what files did you edit?

I'm looking to do something similar to this, I was hoping to use ulitise the control panel menu system.

Do you know what file the navigation bar is kept in? I just cant find it anywhere!

Take a look at ControlPanel/Setup.aspx - the menu controls are specified in there.

The Menu and sub items are specified in SetupNavBar.config

I only know those two files as I had to modify them to install a Custom.Community mod. There may be other files that require changing so don't hold me to it!

Haven't started looking into it yet really, in two minds whether to wait for CS'07 before looking into further. 

 

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you kind sir! Its a step in the right direction.
