Thread: Keeping sub-menu items visible all the time in Version 9

In the left hand sidebar, the sub-menus are hidden until a user navigates to the sub-menu's parent link.

How can I edit this so that all of the sub-menus are visible on every page, all the time?

In my template.master file, the code where my left nav appears is:

<aspdnsf:EntityControl ID="ctrlEntitySection" runat="server" Header="<%$ Tokens:StringResource, AppConfig.SectionPromptPlural %>"
EntityType="Section" MaxMenuSize="<%$ Tokens:AppConfigUSInt, MaxMenuSize %>" />

Which file should I edit to change the appearance of that left-hand navigation?

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Hi

If you have the source code, you could modify EntityControl.cs (in the ASPDNSFControls DLL package) to do this.

What we normally do though is replace the existing menus with our own XmlPackages. This way, you get complete control over the HTML, styling and rendering of the menus.

In your example, it would be relatively straightforward to move through the entityhelper object within the XmlPackage and display all parent/child menus at all times.
