[Solved] Fighting with the menus ..

Post by klaasman »

Hi ! I've got a question about the CMSMS menu's.

Think of a basic menu-structure like the one below, two depths:
1.
1.1
2.
2.1
2.2
3.
3.1
4.
4.1
..etc..

I'm looking for a way to automatically show 2.1, when there's clicked on number 2. In other words, menu-items 1, 2, 3, 4, etc shouldnt have content, but should automatic redirect to their first sub-item (click 3 -> show 3.1; click 4 -> show 4.1; etc)

I think it isn't that hard to accomplish this issue, but my not so smart smarty-skills aren't (yet) *that* good..

Some additional info: using brandnew CMSMS 1.6.1

Thanks in advance yo,

Klaas.

Nevermind .. I spent 4 hours today looking for cmsms plugins/hacks for this issue, but found out one minute ago it's just a setting in the admin controlpanel ..

Thanks though.

This is something I've never understood, why have one link direct to the one below it, why not just have it as a page?...

ez to do if you make one after the other, make 1 as content or whatever, make 1.2 as you need, go back to 1 and change it to internal link to 1.2...

Well .. The wireframe is something like this:

Code: Select all

____________________________________________
mainmenu    |content           |submenu
            |                  |
            |                  |
            |                  |
When clicked on an item of the main-menu, the designer wanted the first sub-item being active.
Argumentation: some interaction-thingie what makes sense how the complete nav structure works .. or so.

That navigation looks... confusing... and that's the kindest thing I can think of to say.
