Hi 

I'm trying to build out a menu and need a little advice - my Xslt experience is a bit limited... What I've got so far is a multi-level nested menu that renders everything from level 2 to level 4 of the site, relative to the current page (ie, if the current page is level 2, the menu shows all level 2 pages, if it's level 3, it shows all pages at level 2 and all level 3 siblings of the current page).

I'd like to extend this to allow a node to have a property (say, topLevelMenuItem) which overrides the default menu layout - if topLevelMenuItem is true for the current page, the menu will only show the child nodes of the current page. The node with topLevelMenuItem set true essentially becomes a level 1 node, and the menu begins with its children.

I'm setting two variables:

<xsl:variable name="subMenuTopLevelNodes" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [topLevelMenuItem = 1]/* [string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @isDoc]"/>
<xsl:variable name="subMenuLevelTwoNodes" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@level = 2]/* [string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @isDoc]"/>

If subMenuTopLevelMenuNodes.Count() is zero, I render the full menu, which works fine. How would I handle the second scenario?

The menu template looks like this:

  <xsl:template name="submenuTree">
    <xsl:param name="pageNodes"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$pageNodes">
      <li>
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="count(current()/*[string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @isDoc]) &gt; 0">
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when test="$currentPage/@level &gt;= current()/@level and @id = $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level=current()/@level]/@id">
                <xsl:attribute name="class">show-children selected</xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@id = @id">
                  <xsl:attribute name="class">show-children selected</xsl:attribute>
                </xsl:if>
              </xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:attribute name="class">has-children</xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@id = @id">
                  <xsl:attribute name="class">has-children selected</xsl:attribute>
                </xsl:if>
              </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@id = @id">
              <xsl:attribute name="class">selected</xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:if>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
          <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
        </a>
       <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@level &gt;= current()/@level and @id = $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = current()/@level]/@id and count(current()/*[string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @isDoc]) &gt; 0 and current()/@level &lt; 5">
          <ul>
            <xsl:call-template name="submenuTree">
              <xsl:with-param name="pageNodes" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = current()/@level]/*[string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @isDoc]"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
          </ul>
        </xsl:if>
      </li>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

Any suggestions/direction/advice would be greatly appreciated...
