<ul>
<?php foreach ($allPages as $page): ?>
<?php $link = $page['url'] ? $page['url'] : $page['_link']; ?>
<?php echo $page['_listItemStart'] ?>
<?php if ($page['_isSelected']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php echo $page['title'] ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">
<?php echo $page['title'] ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $page['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Currently I get a lot of errors like this one: Notice: Undefined index: parentNum in /home/hummingb/public_html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php on line 806 Notice: Undefined index: parentNum in /home/hummingb/public_html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php on line 807

The code in the previous post:
<?php foreach ($allPages as $page): ?>
<?php $link = $page['url'] ? $page['url'] : $page['_link']; ?>
<a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"> <?php echo $page['name'] ?> </a>
<?php endforeach; ?>should work. Make sure that you are using getRecords() instead of getCategories().
Hope this helps

I took a look at your file. First you'll need to use getRecords() instead of getCategories(). This is what's causing your first set of errors. After that, you'll need to change your foreach loop to match what was in the previous post.
Hope this helps

First, you need to change your getRecords query, as the function doesn't use the "categoryFormat" option.
Try this:
list($allPages, $selectedPage) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'festival_pages',
'allowSearch' => false,
));Then in your loop, you still have an extra "else" block and some left over code.
Try this:
<ul>
<?php foreach ($allPages as $page): ?>
<?php $link = $page['url'] ? $page['url'] : $page['_link']; ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"> <?php echo $page['title'] ?> </a> </li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>Hope this helps

I wrote this recursive Function
you can Use Your Css Or Set Custom Tags And attr ...
<ol >
<?php
list($categoryRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'main_menu',
'selectedCategoryNum' => '', // defaults to getNumberFromEndOfUrl()
'categoryFormat' => 'showall', // showall, onelevel, twolevel
));
//GetChild Recursive Function
function getchild($recnum,$categoryRecords)
{
$childs=0;
foreach ($categoryRecords as $child):
if($recnum == $child['parentNum'])
$childs++;
endforeach;
if($childs>0)
{
$childs = 0;
echo "<ol>";
foreach ($categoryRecords as $child):
if($recnum == $child['parentNum'])
{
echo "<li>".$child['name']."";
getchild($child['num'],$categoryRecords);
}
else
{
echo"</li>";
}
endforeach;
echo "</ol>";
}
}
// End Function
foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord):
if($categoryRecord['parentNum'] == 0)
{
echo "<li>".$categoryRecord['name']."";
getchild($categoryRecord['num'],$categoryRecords);
}
endforeach;
?>
</ol>This is my Email : smaeily@gmail.com
Re: [Esmaeili] Creating a dynamic dropdown menu
CMS Builder has built in functions that make creating nested comments fairly straight forward. You could try something like this:
<?php
list($support_categoriesIndexRecords, $categoriesMeta) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'main_menu', // REQUIRED
'rootCategoryNum' => '0'
));
?>
<?php echo '<ul>';
foreach($support_categoriesIndexRecords as $key => $row ){
if($row['depth'] == '0' ){
echo $row['_listItemStart'].$row['name'].$row['_listItemEnd'];
}
elseif($row['_isSelectedBranch']){
echo $row['_listItemStart'].$row['name'].$row['_listItemEnd'];
}
}
echo '</ul>';PHP Programmer - interactivetools.com
