Coding help with easy multi level nested list flyout menu

Hi,

The screenshot wasn't attached and it would be helpful to see how you have the categories setup in CMS Builder, can you attach it?

Hi Dave,

You can use the following code to create a nested <UL> structure for your categories:

<ul>
<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>

<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<b><a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a></b>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for hte help.

I've tried adding the attachment again. If it doesn't work it can also be seen at
http://www.canadasprayerguide.com/WebsiteCMS/menu-structure.gif.

I added your code but received an error.
It can be seen at Link: http://www.canadasprayerguide.com/WebsiteCMS/menutest2.php



The header code is as follows:

<?php

require_once "/home/canadasp/public_html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($testRecords, $testMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'test',
));

?>



I changed the first line of your code to so match my category name. It now reads as follows:

<?php foreach ($testRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>

<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<b><a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a></b>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>


This version also produces and error that can be seen at Link: http://www.canadasprayerguide.com/WebsiteCMS/menutest3.php


Any further help that you can provide would be most appreciated.

Best Regards,
Dve

Hi Dave,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that instead of getRecords(), you'll need to use getCategories() to make _listItemStart and _listItemEnd available.

list($testRecords, $selectedTestRecord) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'test',
));

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you Chris, that did the trick.

Cheers,
Dave
