There are two different websites with drop-down menus, but only one is having the appropriate "branch-out" affect.
Picture 1 is the one not branching and picture 2 is doing what I want:
No Branch

The menu that is correct is using a tree menu widget and the other is not, only a breadcrumbs widget. As you can see I added a "Test Page" under Government, but it is simply at the bottom of the menu. If it's just a matter of inserting a Tree Menu widget to get the affect I want, I'll do that, but I wanted to see if there was another solution first. Thanks.
Looks like it could be an issue with the webpart used for the menu. So the one site showing correctly may have the levels set to the necessary depth whereas the other site may not. This doesn't seem to be the case though as the webpart is picking up the "Test Page" but not the "Tax Matters" page.
It could also be an issue with the overall design of the site's menu. Maybe the site's menu wasn't designed with 3 levels of depth on it. To check this you can go to the webparts transformation property and see if there are multiple levels setup to display that 2nd and 3rd level nested within one another.
Not knowing the configuration of your webpart or the transformation makes it a bit harder to actually troubleshoot.

I got a work to recreate a website. In that website, There is a menu bar which containing 17 main menu items and their sub menu. The problem is how to design a such a large menu bar. right now its look like this
I need to redesign this structure and i'am looking out for some decent way to display this links. My question is completed related to design.
Any suggestions would be a great help..
Thanks in advance.
No doubt, you should consider simplifying this menu by classifying and regrouping menu items. In this form your menu is simply not usable, so instead of trying to display this, try to simplify it first, and the solution will come naturally.
In other words - "divide to conquer".
There is always a way to classify 17 elements in not more then 5 or 6 on the top level.
A simple example - "Member ID" and "Member Search" could probably belong to a same "Member" Menu. You should also consider submenu items and not only these 17. They can probably be somehow reorganized and restructured so you have not more then 5-6 items in each group.
17 Main menu items are a lot for navigation bar.
look at the fullscreen nav in this website.u can try this or have an off-canvas like this website
Good day, I am quite new to windows phone and so please bear with me. I have a requirement to load a XAML layout based on what the user chooses. For example, if i have 4 XAML layouts A, B, C, D, when the user chooses C, the respective XAML layout should be loaded and if A is choosen later, that should come up. I can create different XAML layouts and use the OnNavigateTo Method, but i think its not very efficient. Is there a way, i can group the XAML Layouts together so that it can switch between them easily?.. I have heard of using templates, but can't really find any concrete example of how it works. Any help or links will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
From my understanding you do not need to use templates. Since there are four different actions that have four different views associated with them, there shouldn't really be a problem with having a separate page for each action.
The problem might also be this - how different are the layouts? If data is the only thing that changes across them, you might think about having a view model to bind to and simply change the bindable source.
Bottom line: just use pages, or a single page bound to dynamic data, depending on your scenario.
In my knowledge , I ask you to prefer the UserControls implementation in your UI. You can have A,B,C and D layouts as a separate UserControls and can have those UserControls in the same page. Just make the visibility changes based on the condition that recognize it in the code behind. I think it may help you.
You can solve this in many different ways. If you are not supposed to load the layout on the same page, create 4 separate pages for each view and navigate to correct page.
If you are required to update the current view, you can choose one of the following:
- Place all four layouts into each own Grid and set Visibility="Collapsed" for each one. Then, when you need to show a layout, simply change its Visibility to True.
- Same as above, but use Visual States to add some animations.
- Create 4 user controls and dynamically create the one you need and add it to the current page.
You need to account for several factors here:
- Clean code and clean design.
- Animations and transitions.
- What about Back key? If user is supposed to navigate back to selection screen once he is done, consider navigating to separate pages.
Don't forget the last point, it may be crucial when choosing the right solution.
I have 3 level menus and i need to display each sub menu in diferrent modules. ie,
This is a 3 level menu, i need to display main menu in MODULE_ONE, and second level in MODULE_TWO and third level in MODULE_THREE position correspondingly, with out the tree structure . The modules three modules are in different position. How can i implement this in joomla 2.5. I have check and been able to display on second level but not possible to display 3rd level. please reply if there is a
thank you.
You can display 3 levels in 3 modules from the same menu, of course the second level's content will be determined by the first level selection; this will apply also to the third level.
However, please note that mod_menu used to have inadequate cache support, so by all means DO DISABLE the cache on the modules, else they won't work or will work funny (not showing the current page highlighted... changing the second menu "20" when you click on the first menu "3" ...)
Try the Splitmenu configuration of RocketTheme's RokNavMenu
Here's a discussion on how to accomplish that.
I want to add dynamic menu table in inner pages based upon the tabs on the home page.
how to do that in joomla,please help me.
It sounds like you are trying to create a split menu where the link you click at the top determines the menu that shows up in a column/below. This is the native behavior for Joomla menus simply by setting the start and end levels in the menu module. Here is a good tutorial -
http://www.theartofjoomla.com/magazine/article/27-more-menu-tricks-the-split-menu-technique.html
Beware:: The split level menu feature in Joomla only works when the split equals TWO levels. If you want to build your site with a single master menu that spans 3 or more levels, this does not work. It looks like the internals of Joomla do not know how to track the parent properly (not really sure) when the menus are generated (probably an overstatement). Level 1:1 works, Level 2:2 works but then when you try to specify a menu starting at level 3, it breaks. In my case, I hacked the menu to check the pathways (breadcrumbs) list and derive what I wanted from it so I could determine the real parent of the items at level 3 (or other). Then I could get the items to generate proper. This was a disappointment in Joomla (v1.7). And then on top of this, you would then have to hack further to ensure that each menu item instance starting at 1 is highlighted proper. Perhaps the menus should be more closely coupled to the breadcrumbs pathway list.
I have a Prism/SL3 application with a tab control and each page of the tab control is a "Region" that has its own view and viewModel. when I want to validate the main page, I call dataForm.ValidateItem(), then I go to all the child views and do the same. the problem is, only the pages which user has clicked on them (on the tab page), get instantiated and the pages that are never shown, don't have their view instantiated, thus I can't validate them.
any help?
I created a psuedo work around for this. It's very hacky, but it does work. My example involved walking the visual tree (up and down) to find respective controls that are invalid and then "expanding" the selected item. I have used an accordian in my example, but have also tested this with tab:
