Hi,

CMS works very well for all our clients and encourage us to provide something more.

e.g. If we have Main Links - 1, 2 and 3. Sublinks for "2" are 2a,2b and 2c. Now, if you click on 2, it shows the content of the first sublink which is 2a.

visit : http://www.aberdeenmall.ca/shoppinginformation.php

Here is the request from the client.

When you click on "2", it should show the content for "2", not "2a". content for 2a will show up only when you click on "2a".

Below is the project link where client has this requirement.
http://www.aberdeenmall.ca/events.php

The challenge is I am not used to PHP scripting so, I don't know how it works.

I would greatly appreciate if you could reply ASAP.
Let me know if you need FTP info to work on this file.

Many thanks and have a great weekend.

Hi Viral,

There are many ways to accomplish this. Since you're already using a Category Menu for your Events pages, the simplest solution I can think of for you would be to add a top-level category to it, above all your existing records.

For example, the new record would be in red:

- Events
- Event Listing
- Group Registration

Then it's simply a matter of getting your menu to display the sub-items instead of the entire tree, so you don't end up with this:

EVENTS
- Events
- Event Listing
- Group Registration

To do this, you'd likely want to use the 'rootCategoryNum' argument for getCategories(). You'll also need to play around with how you get the selected category from the URL.

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris
