Hi guys,

I am trying to render a navigation containing subgroups of the current Group.

I am using this approach:

var navigationMarkup = RenderNavigation(new
    {
        id = "leftnav",
        cssclass = "dwnavigation",
        startLevel = 1,
        endlevel = 5,
        template = "LeftNavigation.xslt",
        expandmode = "Pathonly",
        mode = "ecom"
    });

For some reason, the entire list of groups and subgroups is rendered in the output XML (using savexml=true). I have tried removing the last line (mode="ecom") but nothing changed.

I am on DW 9.9.2.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

Why not use the new Razor Navigation instead? You'll have a lot more control.

Hi Nuno,

Frankly, I was hoping for a quick fix for my issue :)

Moving over to the new Navigation would require a bit more time spent on it instead.

If this won't work, I will have to use the new Razor navigation.

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

To be honest, I don't know if it does. In the past we used the API to traverse through groups "navigation" because they needed to be embeded into facets/filters and the xslt navigavtion was not an option.

 

But if all you need is the current subgroups, you may be easilly get that using the API for the subgroups https://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/f45e896b-fbae-0e33-8a7d-c3bf615051b0.htm

 

Best Regards,

Hi Nuno,

I agree.

Nevertheless, this setting is supposed to work with the old navigation approach. If it's not working anymore, it's either my fault for not setting it up correctly or it is a bug.

Thank you,

Adrian

pathonly does not affect groups in the old navigation structure and never has.

I have not used this option in a while.

But it works using the navigation viewmodels!

Hi Nicolai,

That's a very good reason to switch to navigation viewmodels.

Thank you very much for this tip.

Adrian
