[juankprada]

Hi guys, I'm using rich:panelMenu with the expandSingle parameter set to true, but it is not working for some reason. am I missing something here?.... this is the code

<rich:panelMenu style="width:200px" mode="client" expandSingle="true">

                <rich:panelMenuGroup label="home">

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Home" name="Home" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="My Account" name="My_Account" />

                </rich:panelMenuGroup>

                <rich:panelMenuGroup label="Configuration">

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Users" name="Users" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Roles" name="Roles" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Permissions" name="Permissions" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Themes" name="Themes" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Email Accounts" name="Email_accounts" />

                </rich:panelMenuGroup>

                <rich:panelMenuGroup label="Contacts">

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Contact List" name="Contact_list" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Upload Contacts" name="Upload_contacts" />

                </rich:panelMenuGroup>

                <rich:panelMenuGroup label="Calendar">

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Calendar" name="Calendar" />

                    <rich:panelMenuItem label="Upload tasks" name="Upload_tasks" />

                </rich:panelMenuGroup>

            </rich:panelMenu>

Thanks in advance

at first which verion you using... richfaces-showcase (RF 4) uses that component for main navigation at the left side and as you could see works fine. http://richfaces-showcase.appspot.com/

oh, right, I forgot. I'm using RF4 CR1 and I know it works on the showcase, but also I must say I looked in the code of the panelMenu sample and there is no expandSingle parameter defined. Is it set to true by default? (not specifying it doesnt work for me either).

Thanks Ilya

hm.. that's really strange. here is the issue and according to commits should be in CR1 :/ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10517 .. Maybe check server caches?

[juankprada]

I'm nos really sure if that bug is related to my issue, but it's my fault for not explaining the situation right. In the showcase, I see an example of panelMenu in which each time you click on a panelMenuGroup, the others collapse and so a single panelMenuGroup is expanded at a time. According to docs, to get that behaviour, you must set the expandSingle parameter to true, but in showcase there is no such parameter specified in the code (if it is, I havent gound it) and then I set the parameter in my code but i don't get that behaviour. Does the mode parameter has anything to do with it?... does it only work for client or ajax?

Thanks :-)

1) It's not mentioned because true by default.

2) sorry, forgot that really still not works in server mode https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10247

Thanks for your reply.

I checked the bug report, and I see it only happens when groupMode is set to "server". As you can see in my code I didnt set groupMode but just mode="client" and I think groupMode is set by default to "client" right? So it should work in my case. I must also say that I checked this behaviour with Mojarra 2.0 and MyFaces 2.0 (the ones that came bundled with JBoss AS6).

Thanks

EDIT: I just looked in Jira and there is already a bug report for this issue [https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10626], so I guess it concludes this thread.

Thanks Ilya for your help
