Hi guys,

I'm using Designs and Layout, and i'd like to know how it would be possible to insert an eCom navigation inside a module template. fx. inside a Product list template.

In the old template engine, you just needed to insert our menu template and it would work.

Can it be done in D&L aswell??


Regards
 Martin

Hi Martin

You will have to define it in the layout file - otherwise Dynamicweb will not "see" it.

So you have to define it like this:
<ul class="dwnavigation" id="leftnav" settings="">
</ul>

And then in you module template insert this template tag:
<!--@DwNavigation(leftnav)-->

That would create the navigation twice, but in the layout file you can probably do something like this:
<!--@If(Global:Page.ID=0)-->
<ul class="dwnavigation" id="leftnav" settings="">
</ul>
<!--@EndIf-->

The conditional will never be true, and the navigation will not be rendered - but still defined.

It is a hack - but it should do the trick.
