I have a v.4.0.3 site with a structure as follows:
Home
About
Services
Sub Menu 1
Sub Menu 2
Products
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
etc
I have a standard top navigation XSLT file which displays the menu quite happily, however, I want to hide the "Products" menu from the main nav and instead display just these in a separate nav down the left of my page but on every page in the site.
So fundamentally, I have a MainMenu.xslt which controls the main nav by level and I have used 'umbracoNaviHide' to hid the "Products" menu from this nav - this works fine. This file is placed into the main nav section of my template.
I have then created a new XLST file called ProductMenu.xslt and placed this into the Product nav part of my template down the left side. However, I'm unsure what I need to add to my XSLT file in order to instruct it to locate the "Products" menu and display any child menus found (Products 1, 2, 3, etc) - and, as mentioned, this Products nav should be shown on every page in the site no matter where you are within the site structure.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Create a new XSLT based on the template "List Sub pages from a changeable source". This will allow you add a macro to your templates which accepts a paramater for choosing the locaiton of your sub menu.
Separate menu navigation from a node within the main navigation
