Tab based multi-level Menus in J2
I am working on J1 based application that has tabs/panes bases multi-level
menus on page as.
Dashboard | Finance| HR | Admin
As user clicks say Finacne there is another row of sub-menus of Finance as:
Statments | Claims | New Queries | Graphs
and then clicking Claims will show another row of sub-menus for Claims.
I need to implement same navigation in J2. What i learned so far is J2
navigation is based on actual Portal Resouces (Pages, Links, Folder).
Folders are listed in Left navigation pane by default while all PSML pages
goes as menus on top of page. These can be customized however what to
display in left nav pane or menus.
How can i created sub-menu when clicked on a menu? Is there any example for
this?
Thanks

Re: Tab based multi-level Menus in J2
Posted by anyz <an...@gmail.com>.
I have called MULTIMENUS macro in header and tried it by creating a page
mypage.psml in folder "/pages/_user/admin" and overriding the "pages" menu
definiton as below:
<menu name="pages">
<options regexp="true">/*.psml</options>
<menu>
<options regexp="true">/ *</options>
</menu>
</menu>
It worked good and shows pages from all top level and nested folders.
However we need to display specific pages as level-2 menus so we tried it
as:
<menu name="pages">
<options regexp="true">/*.psml</options>
<menu>
<options regexp="true">/abc/*.psml</options>
</menu>
</menu>
The “abc” folder is located at “Jetspeed-2.2.1\pages\_user\admin\abc”.
However it didn't work and no level-2 menu is shown.
We tried differnt things with <options> tag but nothing worked so far.

Was just looking at the decorator macros, you could try using the
"MULTIMENUS" macro, looking at the code it appears to do something very
close to what you're looking for.

Re: Tab based multi-level Menus in J2
Posted by David Dyer <dd...@artifact-software.com>.
I don't have any specific examples, but the top "tab" menu is function
call in the decorator header file using a menu definition variable also
in the header. You can customize menu definitions in psml and
folder.metadata files to define specifically what pages/links/folders or
how far back up or down a page hierarchy resources are accessible in a
named menu.
The actual html structure of the menu is controlled in the
decorator-macros, found in the specific layout decorator you're using.
So you can manipulate these to get the effect you want.
I'll try to work up and example in the next day or two.
