list of navigation menus with added seperator?

Hi everyone,

I have a list of nav links using:
<txp:section_list active_class=“my_active_class” break=“li” class=”“ default_title=“home” sections=“artists,exhibitions,” include_default=“1” wraptag=“ul”/>

I was wondering how you go about adding seperators eg: artists “ | “ exhibitions etc..?

Thanks

Try this (not tested)

<txp:section_list active_class=“my_active_class” break=“li” class=”“ default_title=“home” sections=“artists,exhibitions,” include_default=“1” wraptag=“ul”>
<txp:category />
<txp:if_last_category>
<txp:else />
 | 
</txp:if_last_category>
</txp:section_list>

… and then “linearize” the ul with css or, in a less semantic way, use the same code stripping ‘wraptag=“ul”’ and changing ‘break=“li”’ with ‘break=”“’

Re: list of navigation menus with added seperator?

Two ways:

1) If you want the vertical separator instead of a ul-li list, then simply declare it as the break attribute and set wraptag to nothing, e.g.:

<txp:section_list break=" | " default_title="home" sections="artists,exhibitions," include_default="1" wraptag="" active_class="my_active_class" />

2) If you want the ul-li list, you can achieve the separator with css using li { float:left;} and li:before { content: "|";} and then adjust padding around your a-links. You can also use border-left: 1px solid gray; to create a vertical bar whose height you can adjust by varying the li, respective a anchors, depending upon what you attach it to.
