Horizontal & vertical menu

Hi,

i used a skin with horizontal & vertical menu but now i'm surching to achieve the following, I have some root pages that are not in the horizontal menu en those are having sub pages. (It has to be that way) The submenu is located fine on the left colom but what I want is that in the header of the menu the name of the parent page is displayed just like you have in the artisteer skin.

Putting the name in a HTML component would be fine also but HTML component's are displaying below the menu en that is not fine.

How can I achieve this?

Re: Horizental & vertical menu

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you want it to work like the Artisteer skins study how the SiteMenu and PageMenu are configured in layout.master of an Artisteer skin.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Horizental & vertical menu

Hey Joe,

my site & pagemenu works fine but now I have a page with subpages, the menu is working fine in all the subpages but what I want is that the name of the parent page is in the header of the pagemenu, now I have only the subpages.

The reason for that is that the user is landing on the mainpage, with the menu on the left side he go's to the subpages but there is no longer a link back to the mainpage because the mainpage is not in the menu on top.

So i like to have my leftmenu like

-------------------------
|    MAINPAGE     |
-------------------------
Sub1
Sub2
Sub3Active
Sub4

You see wath I mean ?

Thanks

Re: Horizental & vertical menu

Seems like the easiest solution would be to have the top level page in a top level menu or to enable breadcrumbs which would show the link to the parent page, there is no such thing as PageMenu header

Maybe the techniques in the article Visual Partitioning will help you.

If you are a developer you could implement a custom control to show the parent page name and link and embed that control in layout.master above PageMenu

Re: Horizental & vertical menu

I had already found the Visual Partitioning article but the user wil not be able to create a subsite on his own so i couldn't use that.

I have some VS2010 experience but never looked to create a control for mojoportal, maybe I have to dive in to it :-)

Is there another way to place something above the menu on the left? It has to be possible by the website user without acces to the files directly.
