How to create a hierarchical menu system in Umbraco?
Hi
I need to be able to create a mutli-levelled dynamic menu, that reveals child items when the user is on the relevant parent item page, so for example:
MenuItem1
MenuItem2 (current page)
- ChildItem 2.1
- ChildItem 2.2
MenuItem3
Does Umbraco have provision for this? Any pointers on how I get started setting this up? I'm new to Umbraco but only need pointing towards the right place ...
There's a pretty good navigation package in the packages section which lets you build nav very easily, otherwise I'd point you in the direction of XSLT and macros in the developer section of your Umbraco admin area. You should be able to modify one of the xslt templates in there to be able to get it to work for you. Basically, if you want to do this yourself without a package, you're going to need to learn a little XSLT, but it's not too bad once you get a handle on the syntax.

Cheers dan - any good articles on tweaking XSLT for this kind of thing?
thanks
