  • Categories Side Menu - sub items

    This is the method I tried originally but couldn't get the list nested correctly.


    I've just tried again and just seem to get unexpected results.

    I've tried and number of variations, placing <perch:before>, <perch:if id="catDepth" value="2" match="eq"> etc in various configurations but none of them seem to provide a correctly nested list, i.e.

    Code
    1. <ul class="ulv1">
    2.     <li class="llv1">
    3.         <a class="alv1">Level 1 Cat Title</a>
    4.         <ul class="ulv2">
    5.             <li class="llv2">
    6.                 <a class="alv2">Level 2 Cat Title</a>
    7.             </li>
    8.         </ul>
    9.     </li>
    10. </ul>


    This is what I'm working with:

    This workup is for 2 category levels (catDepth=2) but ultimately I'm trying to do 4 category levels.

    Any help on how I structure this to get the desired outcome would be very much appreciated.

  • Categories Side Menu - sub items

    To clarify, I'm trying to display my product categories as a drop down menu using nested list items something like this example: http://itsaboutyou.co/DropMenu/index.html


    I just thought I needed the multiple queries so that I can have the nested list items like this below?


    Hope that makes sense.

    Not really - thought that's how I tap into each category sub level.


    Don't know if this has any impact on a solution but I'm also running a query to determine whether to display the item or not.

    Not really working as I'd expect for the sub items, anyway this is what I currently have in each of the category templates:


    sidebar.html



    sidebar_subs.html

    Code
    1. <perch:before>
    2. <ul class="ulv2 <perch:if id="catPath" match="eq" value="{currentCat}">active</perch:if>">
    3. </perch:before>
    4. <li class="lilv2">
    5. <a class="alv2 <perch:if id="catPath" match="eq" value="{ctS}">active</perch:if>" href="/<perch:category id="pge" value="{pge}">?ctS=<perch:category id="catPath">&ctT=<perch:category id="catTitle">&lyO=<perch:category id="lyO" value="{lyO}">"><perch:category id="catTitle" type="smarttext" label="Title" required="true" /></a>
    6. </li>
    7. <perch:after>
    8. </ul>
    9. </perch:after>

    Hi,


    I'm using Perch Runway and I'm trying to create a side menu using perch_categories([ });


    I currently have 2 layers (each with their own template) that work fine but want to extend this to 4 and really would appreciate some help/guidance.


    This is what I have currently in a layout template which specifies the templates for each layer:



    Once again any help would be very much appreciated.
