So you just want to show the current section? Change the AncestorOrSelf(1) to (2) and take the root node link out of the foreach loop. 

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

 

@{

var sectionPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2);

}

 

<ul>

 

   <li>

 

 <a href="@sectionPage.Url">@sectionPage.Name</a>

</li>

 

 

 

    @foreach (var childPage in sectionPage.Children.Where("Visible"))

 

    {

 

 <li>

 

 <a href="@childPage.Url">@childPage.Name</a>

 

            @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@

 

            @if (childPage.Children.Where("Visible").Any())

 

            {                    

 

                @* Call our helper to display the children *@

 

                @childPages(childPage.Children)

 

            }

 

       </li>

 

    }

 

 

</ul>

@helper childPages(dynamic pages) { @* Ensure that we have a collection of pages @ if (pages.Any()) { @ Get the first page in pages and get the level *@ var naviLevel = pages.First().Level;

 

    @* Add in level for a CSS hook *@

    <ul class="level-@(naviLevel)">

        @foreach (var page in pages.Where("Visible"))

        {

            <li>

                <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>

 

                @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@

                @if (page.Children.Where("Visible").Any())

                {                        

                    @* Call our helper to display the children *@

                    @childPages(page.Children)

                }

            </li>

        }

    </ul>

}

Hi Matt,

I've tested your code, but I get an error. Will debug it a bit more.

To make it a bit easier to understand, I wish to see the same kind of navigation as on the old website.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

 

@{

var rootPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1);

var sectionPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2);

}

 

<ul>

 

   

 

 

    @foreach (var childPage in rootPage.Children.Where("Visible"))

 

    {

 

 <li>

 

 <a href="@childPage.Url">@childPage.Name</a>

 

            @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@

 

            @if (childPage.Children.Where("Visible").Any() && childPage.Id == sectionPage.Id)

 

            {                    

 

                @* Call our helper to display the children *@

 

                @childPages(childPage.Children)

 

            }

 

       </li>

 

    }

 

 

</ul>

@helper childPages(dynamic pages) { @* Ensure that we have a collection of pages @ if (pages.Any()) { @ Get the first page in pages and get the level *@ var naviLevel = pages.First().Level;

 

    @* Add in level for a CSS hook *@

    <ul class="level-@(naviLevel)">

        @foreach (var page in pages.Where("Visible"))

        {

            <li>

                <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>

 

                @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@

                @if (page.Children.Where("Visible").Any())

                {                        

                    @* Call our helper to display the children *@

                    @childPages(page.Children)

                }

            </li>

        }

    </ul>

}

That should work.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your response. It's working :)

Is it possible to not show the parents?

So if you are in the "About us" section you will only see it's children, grandchildren, etc... like on the old website.

ah ok, yes it is.

I think we are nearly there, if I set rootpage to 2 and sectionpage to 3

@{

var rootPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2);

var sectionPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(3);

}

You can see only the child items and it's own children when you get in a deeper part of the navigation:

Super! That solves it :)

Awesome :)

So I'm further then before with my company's website and I would like to hide certain items from the side navigation we've created through the forum. But! The items should still be accessible through it's parents page content.

So the it's now showing the dates in the side-navigation and I only wish to have parent (Press releases) listed nothing more. Then on the parent page "Press releases" you still can access the press item.

For the other pages it's perfect as it is.

Thanks!

You can just set umbracoNaviHide to true on the press releases you don't want to show in the left hand nav.

Is there a way of settings this permantely for the press releases?

is working on a reply...
