need help with Section/Article Navigation
I use a “standard” section navigation,
<nav role="navigation">
<h1><txp:text item="navigation" /></h1>
<txp:section_list default_title='<txp:text item="home" />' include_default="1" sections="about, events, products, contact" wraptag="ul" break="">
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'><txp:if_search><txp:else /><txp:if_category><txp:else /><txp:if_author><txp:else /> class="active"</txp:if_author></txp:if_category></txp:if_search></txp:if_section>>
<txp:section title="1" link="1" />
</li>
</txp:section_list>
</nav>and want to extend it with a dropdown on the product “tab”. The dropdown should include all article titles from the products section. I know how to do it with category_list, if all product articles have the same category. But I’m sure there is a possibility to do it without the use of categories, or isn’t it?

Re: need help with Section/Article Navigation
Scheme of one version of my ways to do this:
<nav role="navigation">
<ul>
<txp:if_status><li<txp:if_section name=","> class="active">Home<txp:else />><a href="/" accesskey="0">Home</a></txp:if_section></li><txp:else /><li><a href="/" accesskey="0">Home</a></li></txp:if_status>
<txp:section_list sections="about, events" break="" form="nav-sections" />
<txp:section_list sections="products" break="" form="nav-sections-articlelist" />
<li<txp:if_section name="contact"> class="active"><txp:section title="1" /><txp:else />><a href="/contact" accesskey="3"><txp:section name="contact" title="1" /></a></txp:if_section></li>
</ul>
</nav>For the form “nav-sections” (¶ = replace with a not visible line break):
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'><txp:if_individual_article>><a class="active" href='/<txp:section />'><txp:section title="1" /></a><txp:else /> class="active"><txp:section title="1" /></txp:if_individual_article><txp:else />><a href='/<txp:section />'><txp:section title="1" /></a></txp:if_section></li>
¶For the form “nav-sections-articlelist”:
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> class="active"><txp:section title="1" />
<ul>
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' limit="20" form="nav-articlelist" /></ul>
<txp:else />><a href="/<txp:section />"><txp:section title="1" /></a></txp:if_section></li>
¶For the form “nav-articlelist”:
<li<txp:if_article_id id='<txp:article limit="1"><txp:article_id /></txp:article>'> class="active"><txp:title /><txp:else />><a href='<txp:permlink />'><txp:title /></a></txp:if_article_id></li>

Or if you don’t mind using a plugin: <txp:adi_menu articles="1" />

Unfortunately not, because its giving a dropdown on every section, but I only need it on the product tab.

That’s what I needed,
It looks complicated after the first glance, but it works out of the box. I only needed to modify it a bit, because the product page dropdown has to be available all the time (because of touch screen devices).
Anyway… THX a lot

Re: need help with Section/Article Navigation
As I just found out, the dropdown article list only appears if the product section is the active section.
But what I need is that the dropdown is on the products tab all the time, no matter what section is active.
I solved this tiny problem, but found a new one.
The product tab Page (if active) shows an articles-list with excerpts. in the dropdown navigation is the first article marked as active, even though all articles are displayed in list-form. There should be no active state while displaying the article-list page, only if an individual article is displayed.

Solved the problem too, by using ruuds rvm_if_this_article plugin with the following code in the nav_articlelist form instead of the one GugUser suggested.
<li class="<txp:rvm_if_this_article>active</txp:rvm_if_this_article>">
<a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:title /></a>
</li>THX again

Doesn’t <txp:if_article_id>active</txp:if_article_id> give the same result that <txp:rvm_if_this_article>active</txp:rvm_if_this_article>?

<txp:if_article_id>active</txp:if_article_id> works only for single articles. My suggestion works in article lists, without a plugin. It seems to me that ruuds plug-ins will no longer be updated.

What’s funny? Are you saying that <txp:if_article_id>active</txp:if_article_id> works in a nav article list? And what, if you need a different sort than default?

Re: need help with Section/Article Navigation
yes it does work, and I’m fine with the default sort order

Re: need help with Section/Article Navigation
Please, can you show me your code or write the context in witch this works? There must be a misunderstanding.
