Hi April,

If you could email me your CMS login details and FTP information to jason@interactivetools.com I can take a look at it for you.

Please email this information, don't post it to the forum.

Thanks.

Hi April,

The problem is the version of CMS Builder you're using. the _hasParent and _hasChild pseudo fields were introduced in version 2.03. You're currently using version 1.36. In order to use these fields, you'll need to upgrade your version of CMS Builder, which you can do here: http://www.interactivetools.com/upgrade/index.cgi.

Hope this helps.

Jason,
I have upgraded my CMS and my site map list still doesn't display correctly. Can you help me take a look and see what else I may need? Here is the link to the page: http://www.charlotteparent.com/test/sitemap/index.php

I have also attached the page with coding as well.

Thanks,
April

Hi April,

I think it's just a typo problem in your code. On line 226 you're using this line:
<?php if ($recordd['_hasChild']) { $aClass .= "withChildren "; } ?>

You just need to remove the extra "d" like this:
<?php if ($record['_hasChild']) { $aClass .= "withChildren "; } ?>

That should take care of the problem.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason.

The only issue now is that it doesn't display in the <ul> format. They are all in one list. Example Things to Do and Community are parent categories. and listings underneath are child categories...I want it to display like so:

Things to Do
Calendar
Getting Out
Our Events
Travel
Seasonal Fun
Summer Camps
Parties

Community
Blogs
Forums
Photo Gallery
Polls
Dads
Contests

Do I need to add the additional html/css or coding?

April

Hi April,

You just need to format your css. The list elements are being output correctly (for example, calendar, getting out, etc, are part of a nested list inside the <li> tag for Things to Do).

I think what you need to do is change your css for handling <ul> and <li> tags inside an <li> tag.

Hope this helps.

Great...that is what I thought...just wanted to be sure there was no additional coding I needed.

Thanks for your help!

I am still having a little trouble getting my site map to output exactly like I want. I can't get it to display like I want with adjusting just my css.

I want it to look like the ex. below and then have it carry over into two columns instead of one long column.

ex:
Home
Things To Do
* Calendar
* Getting Out
* Our Events
* Travel
* Seasonal Fun
* Summer Camps
* Parties

Here is my page currently:
http://www.charlotteparent.com/test/sitemap/index.php

I have also attached my page.

Thanks!
April
