Hello Umbracians!

I have trying to create a navigation with submenus (drop downs) based of the the node tree.

This is the code I have been using for the basic navigation:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    @*Get the root of the website *@
    var homeNode = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1);
}
<ul id="main-menu">
    <li class="@(homeNode.Name == CurrentPage.Name ? "current-selected" : null)">
    <a href="@homeNode.Url">@(homeNode.alternativeName == "" ? homeNode.Name : homeNode.alternativeName)</a>
</li>
    @foreach (var page in homeNode.Children.Where("Visible"))
    {
        <li class="@(page.IsAncestorOrSelf(CurrentPage) ? "current-selected" : null)">
            <a href="@page.Url">@(page.alternativeName == "" ? page.Name : page.alternativeName)</a>
        </li>
    }
</ul>

but now I need check each node for the existence on children and then loop through them.

Any assistance would be great.

Hi Phillip,

Could you not introduce another for each loop inside your existing one?

@{
    var homeNode = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1);

    foreach (var page in homeNode.Children.Where("Visible"))
    {
        <li>
            <a href="@page.Url">page.Name</a>

            @if (page.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
            {
                <ul>
                    @foreach (var child in page.Children.Where("Visible"))
                    {
                        <li><a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a></li>
                    }
                </ul>
            }
        </li>
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Dan.
