Accessing Nested Pages More Than One Level Down

[dsulliva]

Can I access pages that are nested more than one level down via the gui.

Home
>Page1 (nest level1)
>Page3 (nest Level2)
>Page2 (nest level1)

The gui doesn't seem to be able to access Page3.

Any ideas?

Hover your mouse over the Page1 tab and a drop-down menu with a link to Page3 should appear.

Well my post didn't come out the way I thought I wrote it...the parser must of ate it.

Maybe I am having a browser issue but I only see menu nesting accessibilty to to one level.

Because the portal lets me nest pages. When I hover over the top level page say home I see a drop down with the pages that fall under that.

When I move down to the 1st page under the top level page I would expect to see and arrow and then a drop down for pages that fall under page1. This is what I want to see but don't see.

Top Level Page
Page1
Page1a
Page1b
Page2
Page3


From above I'm looking for Page1a. You may be saying that Page1a should be visible when hovering over Page1, but I don't see anything in my browser using firefox??

Ok the parser doesn't like tabs...let's try this one more time.

Remember, white space (blanks or tabs) is ignored by the browser and reduced to a single space. That is why the formatting does not show up (though the email version of your posts have the formating as you envisioned it). If you want the browser to show all whitespace characters, enclose the text in code brackets (select the text and click the Code button).

I have not done multiple levels of subpages. If the menus do not cascade, you will need to provide URLs for accessing the sub-subpages:

http://localhost:8080/portal/conf/portal/myportal/TopLevelPage/Page1/Page1a

[peterj]

Oops, ignore the "/conf" in the URL.

Thanks Peter...that makes sense, but not what I wanted.

Is anyone working on making the menus nesting to more than one level and accessi ble via the gui (ie. no url injection).

Maybe this would be something for me to contribute.

I'll have to take a look at the code.

Hi

Is there anything new? I'll have to develop a portal which will have 2 or 3 sub levels, so that interests me!


It seems it's working on jboss.org, but not on jb portal 2.7.1... is there some thing to configure?

thanks a lot!
