I've been trying to get a simple navigation menu to work. I've tried the RunwayDropdownNavigation module as well as trying to make my own and every time I have the same problem. For simplicity, I'll use Runway as a base for discussion:
The RunwayDropdownNavigation module does work in so far as it displays the structure of the nodes, BUT only 2nd level down. Put simply, it only shows nodes *underneath* the Runway Homepage folder, and not the Runway Homepage itself. On my other installation I have this content structure (under the Content tab):
Homepage
- Sub page
About Us
Contact
Unfortunately, only "Sub page" shows up in any navigation xslt's I've tried! Has anyone else encountered this? More specifically, can anyone help?
Thanks Rich and Mladen for the quick helpful responses.
Rich, my structure is wrong I see. I didn't realize everything should be under "Homepage", i.e. I presumed "Content" was the root node, not "Homepage". In that light it becomes clear that RunwayDropdownNavigation works as expected. However, in the structure you've given the RunwayDropdownNavigation module still won't show Homepage node; it will only show
Sub page

in the menu. Is there no other way besides what Mladen has suggested to get the Homepage node to show in the menu?

Hi there,

Much appreciated!
James,
It sounds like your structure maybe a little off, can you post a picture of it?
In general website structures are:
Content
- Homepage
- Sub page
-Sub sub page
- About Us
- Contact
These will give you
website.com (home)
website.com/Sub-Page
website.com/sub-page/sub-sub-page
website.com/About-us
website.com/Contact

I had the same problem and I just manually added a link to the home page. This should be done after the <ul> tag and before <xsl:for-each> loop.
Just do something like
It's not very beautiful but it should do the work.

James,
Some people like to show the homepage on navigation, some don't. If you want to include it, you can use this or Mladen's code
<li><a href="/">
<xsl:if test="$currentPage/@level=1">
<xsl:attribute name="class">active</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>Home</xsl:text>
</a>
</li>

OK that makes sense. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
