Hi.
I'm trying to build a multi-level dropdrown CSS menu for a website I'm doing on the umbraco content management system.
I need to build it to have the following structure:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="..">Page #1</a></li>
<li>
<a href="..">Page #2</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="..">Subpage #1</a></li>
<li><a href="..">Subpage #2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
So now I'm trying to figure out how to do the nesting using XSLT. This is what I have so far:
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<!-- update this variable on how deep your menu should be -->
<xsl:variable name="maxLevelForMenu" select="4"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ul id="nav">
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:with-param
name="parent"
select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=1]"
/>
</xsl:call-template>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:param name="parent"/>
<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 0 or (umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 1 and umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = 1)">
<xsl:for-each select="$parent/node [string(./data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and @level <= $maxLevelForMenu]">
<li>
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</a>
<xsl:if test="count(./node [string(./data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and @level <= $maxLevelForMenu]) > 0">
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:with-param name="parent" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
What I can't seem to figure out is how to check if the first level (here Page #1 and Page #2) has any children, and if they do add the extra <ul>
to contain the <li>
children.
Anyone out there to point me in the right direction?
