Hi,

If you go to the Developer section and add a Razor script file you will see a pre defined template for Nagivation, choose this and you should be good.

Hope that helps

Rich 

There are a example for this:

In Umbraco go to the Developer section, open the tree "Sripting Files" and create a new razor scripting file. Here you can choose a template, i.e. Navigation.

Thank you very much for your time.

I created Macro Parameter with the alias of "Level" and used Navigation template. its not working for me.

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{
    var level = String.IsNullOrEmpty(Parameter.Level) ? 1 : int.Parse(Parameter.Level);
    var ulClass = String.IsNullOrEmpty(Parameter.UlClass) ? "" : String.Format(" class=\"{0}\"", Parameter.UlClass);
    var parent = @Model.AncestorOrSelf(level);
    if (parent != null) {
        <[email protected](ulClass)>
        @foreach (var item in parent.Children.Where("Visible")) {
            var selected = Array.IndexOf(Model.Path.Split(','), item.Id.ToString()) >= 0 ? " class=\"selected\"" : "";
            <[email protected](selected)>
                <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
            </li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

what should i modify to work in my case ?

if I use @level, its out put value 1.

@using System;
@using System.Web;
@using umbraco.NodeFactory;

@if (Model.Children.Where("Visible").Count() > 0)
   {
       <table class='subpages' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
        <tr><th>In this section</th></tr>
        <tr><td style='padding-left: 10px;'><ul class='sb_menu'>
         @foreach (var subpage in Model.Children.Where("Visible"))
         {
            <li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
         }
         </ul></td></tr>
      </table>
    }

thanks Adi for your time. But it did not work for me.

"Model.Children.Where("Visible").Count()" selects children nodes but in my content there is not child nodes except for "Education" node.

I guess

- first I have to select all nodes "Home", "Education" "Product", "Blog", "Contact" after that I need looping. I can do this easily using XSLT ($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* /Content) but it becomes very hard using Razor.

Any suggesstion?

How about:

@foreach (var node in Model.AncestorOrSelf().Children.Where("useInNavigation == true") {
      <a href="@node.Url" title="@node.contentTitle" >@node.contentTitle</a>
} 

If you want the subitems as well, you could stick it in a helper:

Here's the menu: @RenderChildren(Model.AncestorOrSelf().Children.Where("useInNavigation == true"))

@helper RenderChildren(dynamic childNodes) {
  <ul>
  @foreach (var node in childNodes) {      
 <li><a href="@node.Url" title="@node.contentTitle" >@node.contentTitle</a></li>
 @RenderChildren(node.Children)
 } 
 </ul>
} 

hi Seb, Would this be the best way to create the same top level menu (Umbraco 6.1.6) if you were on any page?

I don't understand how AncestorOrSelf() would help if you were in a sub page and you wanted the main menu?

Hope you can help.

Ta..

Hi Paul,

AncestorOrSelf(int) returns the ancestor (or self) of a node at the given level  in the argument where as AncestorsOrSelf() is all of the ancestors of this page in the tree.

Have a look those post.
