Hello,

I have a RadMenu in my Sitefinity 4.1 application

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<telerik:RadMenu EnableSelection="true" ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SitemapDataSource1">

Here I want to display only the main menu items. Don't want to display any sub items. And also I want to hide a page group if its 'Show in navigation ' option is false .

Could you please help me

Thank you
Roopesh

Hello Roopesh,

Subscribe for ItemDataBound event of the menu.

There you can use the fulent API to get the root item and hide the other.

var homeId = Config.Get<PagesConfig>().HomePageId;
var pgs = App.WorkWith().Pages().LocatedIn(Telerik.Sitefinity.Fluent.Pages.PageLocation.Frontend).Where(n=> n.PageId == homeId).Get().OrderByDescending(t => t.Title).Reverse();

Inside ItemDataBound you have instance to PageNode - from e.Item.DataItem. The PageNode has a property ShowInNavigation that you can use to see if the page should be visible or not.

Hello Ivan,

I created the user control as you said but I am getting error on pageid

protected void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)

        var homeId = Config.Get<PagesConfig>().HomePageId;
        var pgs = App.WorkWith().Pages().LocatedIn(Telerik.Sitefinity.Fluent.Pages.PageLocation.Frontend).Where(n => n.

PageId

== homeId).Get().OrderByDescending(t => t.Title).Reverse();

I am using the following namespaces

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.UI;
using Telerik.Sitefinity;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Fluent.Pages;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages.Configuration;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model;
using Telerik.Web.UI;
If you want more information please let me know . Can you please give a good tutorial to deal with the Radmenu server side events

Thank you
Roopesh
