    Consistent pathway between two menus

    Posted 17 years 6 months ago
    • Hi, I have a mainmenu and a side menu that changes according to what has been selected in the mainmenu. When a user clicks an item in the side menu, the pathway "resets" itself. For example, clicking an item in the Main Menu may produce the following pathway:

      Home > Project > SubProject

      Then when I click the menu item in SubProject side menu, the pathway returns to:

      Home > Side Menu Item

      whereas I want Home > Project > SubProject > Side Menu Item

      Any ideas how to achieve this?

      Thanks.

    • Menus can be very frustrating, part of the reason is that each time that you create a menu entry, it gets assigned an ID, and that is how J! keeps track of everything.

      You can use SplitMenu (if your template supports it), which would give you a similar effect, but all of the items would be the same.

      You could also try copying the items from the primary menu to the side menu, instead of recreating them.

      Finally, you could always build the side menu manually from the links in the primary menu, which would guarantee that the same id was in use.

    • Thanks for your replies - I've changed the design a little and gone down the split menu route to keep things simple for now.

      Works well, thanks.
