    Hi,

    My topic on page navigation is just closed so I open a new topic. What I’m really looking for is a solution for enhanced page navigation in a sidebar with an expandable/collapsible page hierarchy which (navigation) state is preserved during page navigation. Can you please help in giving me advice to realize this? Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Hi Jan!

    As far as i know that’s actually how the Pages widget works, have you already tried it with real content (if you did please post a link to it)? maybe it needs some additional styling (current-item, etc).

    Best regards,
    Josue

    Hi Josue,

    Thanks for your reply. I’ve tested the Pages widget and problem is that the whole page hierarchy is always fully expanded, so no collapse/expand option is available (and yes, the current item is highlighted, which is ok). Furthermore, this widget has some display issues when contained in a widget area. I use IE11 with Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, in this post I can’t send you a screen dump of this issue and my web site is currently in maintenance. Can you have a check of this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Hey Jan!

    Try adding this code to the Quick CSS:

    .widget_pages ul li ul {
    display: none;
    position: relative;
    left: 10px;
}
.widget_pages ul li.current_page_ancestor ul {
    display: block;
}

    Cheers!

    Hi Josue,

    I’ve tried your solution but without any result (no expand/collapse option, complete page hierarchy is shown).

    Hi Josue,

    See http://www.smartsoft.nl/vision/introduction/ . Can you please also have a look at the related custom menu navigation issue in the same sidebar of the above mentioned page (custom menu is showed twice)? Please see the topic I’ve started just some hour ago (topic id #277597). This problem is caused by sub pages of a main page (in our case main page is Vision and sub pages are Introduction, Technology Trends and Application Trends). Thanks in advance for your support. BTW: the web site was in maintenance mode, so I’ve removed this status for your testing purpose. Please let me know when you are ready, so I can lock the web site again.

    Regards,

    Hi Jan!

    The duplicate menu is now gone (it was a Sidebar setting in Theme Options):

    Now for the first issue i have to ask which menu you’d want to use in the end?

    Cheers!

    Hi Josue,

    Thanks a lot for this quick reply. You mean the theme setting for displaying a page navigation in sidebar automatically? In the end I want to use the custom menu Vision Menu as page navigation (for the subpages of the main page Vision only). BTW: I need to change the custom menu styling of the currently active page according to the other menu item styling (how can I realize this easily, now I’m debugging IE with F12 looking for applied styles etc.?). Coming back to my first page navigation issue using the Pages widget: it would be nice if this will work as requested earlier (expand/collapse child nodes in menu and highlighting the active page item).

    Regards,
    Jan

    Hey!

    You’d need to use a plugin for that, try this one:
