navigation control
I am still having a question about the navigation control. What I need
is to get an extra parameter for menu besides the title for styling
purpose.
I am trying two approaches. One is using logic within velocity using
if...else... on the title. For example, if title is "RootTitle", I
hardcode the need parameter (style). This works but not so elegant.
I am also trying to use the metadata as shown below ("xx"="racine"). The
problem is I only get the metadata for root menu with
title("RootTitle").
The velocity rightly returned me the title for the sub folder simplest,
but not the metadata ("xx") there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Yiguang
The menu def in folder.metadata in pages
<menu name="left-column" options="/" depth="0" paths="false"
regexp="false" skin="rotskin">
<title>RootTitle</title>
<metadata name="xx">racine</metadata>
<options depth="-1" paths="false" regexp="true"
skin="pagena">/*.psml</options>
<options depth="-1" paths="false" regexp="false"
skin="non-javana">/non-java/</options>
<options depth="-1" paths="false" regexp="false"
skin="simplestna">/simplest/</options>
<options depth="-1" paths="false" regexp="false"
skin="chatna">/chat/</options>
</menu>
The folder.metadata in pages/simplest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<folder>
<title>Simplest Portlets</title>
<metadata name="xx">xxxxx</metadata>
<security-constraints>
<security-constraints-ref>users</security-constraints-ref>
</security-constraints>
</folder>

#set($navigationsStandardMenu = $site.getMenu("left-column"))
#if(!$navigationsStandardMenu.empty)^M

If I can get the metadata of <metadata name="xx">xxxxx</metadata>, I can remove the chunk of if....else... to get the $icon

Yiguang,
What does your velocity code look like that is accessing the metadata?
You need to be asking the menu for its metadata, not the page. Please
copy it here so that we can take a look at it.
Thanks,
Randy
