Select Pages on Horizontal with Drop Down Not Working

Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

I'm using sitefinity's horizontal with drop down menu, and I've chosen to select the pages that are displayed. I want to select everything under a parent page (Authorized Users) including Authorized Users itself (so it displays on the main menu). However, when I select ONLY the things under Authorized Users (including Authorized User) it displays all parent pages as well. All the parent pages are selected to display in navigations, as I have multiple navigations and need them to display in those. I attached screenshots to help.

Hi Michelle,

Can you please refer to the following documentation article on how you can display all nodes under a particular parent page and include the parent node in the navigation as well.

Hi Sabrie,

Thanks for responding.. I followed the article directly, including using the same navigation and I keep getting this error:

There is no "ParentItemTemplate" included in your LightNavigationControl template


Followed by:

I'm not even sure what "Light navigation template" is, I haven't created any thing called that.

Hi Michelle,

In order to display the parent page, can you please try the steps below:

1. Please select one of the All pages under currently opened page or All sibling pages of currently opened page modes for the navigation widget
2. Please go to the navigation widget's Advanced settings and set the ShowParentPage property to true
3. Edit the selected template (should be multi-level, e.g. Vertical navigation with sublevels(treeview) or Horizontal with dropdowns) and add a ParentItemTemplate element.

Here is a sample of the Vertical navigation with sublevels (treeview) template where I have added the ParentItemTemplate element:

Thanks for the response Telerik, but it's literally​ six months later. I posted this in January and February... this problem is long gone and I found some other way to do it. Glad to see your forum is fixed, it's been a while. You guys were great at responding back in August, ever since then you've  been MIA. Sorry, but too little too late. Maybe this response will help someone in the future.

Hi there, I followed the directions on this page: 

docs.sitefinity.com/display-the-parent-node-in-the-navigation-widget

And received the same error as the previous poster:

There is no "ParentItemTemplate" included in your LightNavigationControl template

I then found this thread by searching the error.  The directions above are the same from the previous page I think?  

I have my display setting set to:

All pages under currently opened page

And my template set to:

Vertical with sublevels (treeview)

But I still went through the steps again to make sure.  I even did a compare on the template you have above and mine and they are exactly the same but I still receive the error.  Anything else I can try?

Thanks,

Coty
