Re: How to make a menu
@GugUser thanks for the help. One question why do you use the span tag?
As far as the default page/form i should be more careful when starting a new site. in this case i am updating my first TxP site to be more robust. My first effort was pretty basic and I unwitting used the default page. i do try to create a home one and use that.
again thanks

In some cases the spans are useful for the CSS. If you don’t need them, you can remove them. No problem.

Re: How to make a menu
I am trying to create a menu with sections and categories using the TXPTIP article
I have the following forms:
NAV – misc form
<txp:section_list form="navbuild" class="" break="" wraptag="" sections="default,about,archive,galleries,contact" />
NAVBUILD – article form
<txp:if_different> <li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> <txp:if_individual_article><txp:else />class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_individual_article></txp:if_section>> <txp:section link="1" title="1" /></li> </txp:if_different> <txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> <txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' form="navbuildlinks2" /> </txp:if_section>
NAVBUILDKINKS2 – article form
<li class="current-menu-item"<txp:if_article_id> class="sub-menu"</txp:if_article_id>> <a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:title /></a></li>
it’s more less working fine. Except that I don’t want sub-menus to appear for About and Contact Sections as they simply have only one entry each.
clicking on About causes the entry title to also appear as … “ About “ > “What Are We About” , when Section is not active only the “About” is visible.
For galleries it works like I wanted with subcategories appearing once we are on the Galleries sections/categories.
I tried limiting by section IDs but not with any success.
Is there a way to ONLY show the subcategories for the section Galleries??

Re: How to make a menu
UPDATE:
I solved this issue via brute force.
I hand code navigation this way:
<li id="menu-item" class="menu-item"><a href="http://mysite.net" id="navHome" title="Fresh Rides" accesskey="h">Home |</a></li>
<li<txp:if_section name="about"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="About" />
</li>
<li<txp:if_section name="archive"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="Archive" />
</li>
<li<txp:if_section name="galleries"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="Galleries" />
</li>
<li id="menu-item" class="menu-item"><a href="http://mysite.net/contact" id="abut" title="Contact Me"> Make Contact</a></li>
then when one lands on the galleries section where i want to show Galleries and its categories I have this code:
which is called by a form misc nav
<li id="menu-item" class="menu-item"><a href="http://mysite.net" id="navHome" title="Fresh Rides" accesskey="h">Home |</a></li>
<li<txp:if_section name="about"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="About" />
</li>
<li<txp:if_section name="archive"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="Archive" />
</li>
<!-- woot! -->
<li<txp:if_section name="galleries"> class="current-menu-item"</txp:if_section>>
<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="Galleries" />
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' form="navbuildlinks2G" />
</li>
<!-- //end -->
<li id="menu-item" class="menu-item"><a href="http://mysite.net/contact" id="cbut" title="Contact Me"> Make Contact</a></li>
navabuildlinks2 has this ;
<!-- works --> <li class="current-menu-item"<txp:if_article_id> class="sub-menu"</txp:if_article_id>><a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:title /></a></li>
it’s not as automagic as i had wanted but good enough for me.
After ten years i’ll be updating to new version of my in a week or so.
