Is there an easy or built in way to write a UL of links to docs within a single specific node?
The already complex design was already integrated when I discovered dropnavs were required. Currently three seperate static dropnavs are working as desired, droping from behind transparent pngs and before a flash element.
The code that renders the single level menu representing pages within a single node looks like this:
<div id="dm-button">
<img src="/images/menu/mmenu_partnerTR_off.png" alt="Your Business Partner" width="364" height="110" class="dm-menu_class img-swap" />
<ul class="dm-the_menu"> <li class="first"><a href="#">A Website #1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Website #2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Link #1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Link #2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Website #3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Website #4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">A Link #3</a></li>
<li class="dm-last"><a href="#">A Link #4</a></li> </ul>
</div>
The content structure of one of the three nodes looks like this:
This is the design / working with a static list:
The sitemap xlts for example, whites an UL like this:
<div id="sitemap"> <ul> <li><a href="/the-total-solution.aspx">The Total Solution</a> <ul> <li><a href="/the-total-solution/build-your-core.aspx">Build Your Core</a></li> <li><a href="/the-total-solution/extend-your-business.aspx">Extend Your Business</a></li> <li><a href="/the-total-solution/automate-your-operation.aspx">Automate Your Operation</a></li> <li><a href="/the-total-solution/lifecycle-approach.aspx">Lifecycle Approach</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>etc
Is there something similar that can be used to generate the list of just one level? Flat, no subs and the user will be trained not to change the node names.
I understand a "show in drop nav #1" attribute could be added to the doc type and then an xlts could be written that would write an OL inclusive off all nodes with that attribute but specific singular list node/level behavior continues to come up.
I am really looking for a macro something that says "write ordered list of links to all pages below node named NameOfDesiredNode". Simple and limited, by design.
You could use either XSLT or Python/ Ruby to do it, there's several samples within the Umbraco when you create a new XSLT or script file which you can use as starting points
I really want to use "List Sub Pages From A Changable Source" which could then be used each time this somes up.
I must be doing something wrong because it does not seemn to work. I used to the List Sub Pages From A Changable Source template to make an xlst and then added the contentPicker to the macro. When called into a template, the content selection is requested, selected, but nothing shows up.
Hi Teena, try changing the contentPicker="1250" to source="1250" and see of that does the trick for you. This is the alias of the paramter that this template is looking for as indicated in the following line:

Thanks in advance for any insite or information.

Could you point me at one of those samples? I am looking and looking... Likely looking right at it and not recognizing it.

It is writingthis into the template:
<umbraco:Macro contentPicker="1250" Alias="ListSubPagesFromAChangableSource" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
I am assuming the "1250" is a SQL ID and I should be able to copy and paste at will changing tht number. What am I missing?
Any suggetsions appreciated.
