need help with menu collapse issues

Hi,
  My issue is viewable at wwwstage.ultra-fei.com/index.php?page=products-2 .  If you notice the left nav, clicking on 'receivers' (for example) will cause the 'aircraft instruments' to expand even thought it was not the choice.  I would like it to only expand when it has been selected.  How can I do this?

I call the menu this way

Code: Select all

{menu template="FL-LeftNav" start_element="1.2.1" show_root_siblings="1" collapse="1"}
and this is my menu template

Code: Select all

{* CSS classes used in this template:
#menuwrapper - The id for the <div> that the menu is wrapped in. Sets the width, background etc. for the menu.
#primary-nav - The id for the <ul>
.menuparent - The class for each <li> that has children.
.menuactive - The class for each <li> that is active or is a parent (on any level) of a child that is active. *}
{if $count > 0}
<ul>
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}

	{repeat string="<ul>" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth < $node->prevdepth}

	{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
	</li>
{elseif $node->index > 0}</li>
{/if}
{if $node->parent == true or ($node->current == true and $node->haschildren == true)}
	<li class="menuactive menuparent"><a class="menuactive menuparent" 
{elseif $node->current == true}
	<li class="menuactive"><a class="menuactive" 
{elseif $node->haschildren == true}
	<li class="menuparent"><a class="menuparent" 
{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}
        <li class="sectionheader"><span> {$node->menutext} </span>
{elseif $node->type == 'separator'}
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <hr class="separator" />
{else}
	<li><a 
{/if}
{if $node->type != 'sectionheader' and $node->type != 'separator'}
href="{$node->url}" {if $node->accesskey != ''}accesskey="{$node->accesskey}" {/if}{if $node->tabindex != ''}tabindex="{$node->tabindex}" {/if}{if $node->titleattribute != ''}title="{$node->titleattribute}"{/if}{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}</a>
{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}
><dfn>{$node->hierarchy}: </dfn>{$node->menutext}</a>
{/if}

{/foreach}

	{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->depth-1}		</li>
	</ul>
<div class="clearb"></div>

{/if}

Hi Tony,

The odd thing is I have (or had) the exact same problem on one of my test sites. When you selected the second page of a section, it turned on both the second and third pages (in both the drop-down menu and the simple side menu). I ran through the code again, and even replaced the .tpl with one from a similar site that was working, and couldn't seem to shake the problem.

So I tried this - I went to Pages > Reorder Pages, and moved some of the subsections around. Problem gone! And when I put everything back in the same order, my site looked the way I wanted it to, and the bug was gone.

I can't explain it. It wasn't the .tpl swap, because on comparison they were exactly the same. If someone reading this can explain the bug, please do - I'd love to know what was going on! But until then, give the above a try and let me know if it worked.

Chris,
  Thanks for the tip, but it did not work.  Anyone else seen this issue?
