Thanks Ivan,

Forgive my ignorance but what does it mean to make a custom template? Is that the same as making a custom control in Sitefinity 3.7? If so is there a configuration file I need to create or do I simply point to it?

Thanks for your help

Hi Peter,

You should add an ascx which has a BaseDataBoundControl in this that will be populated internally by the navigation control. Then you can manipulate this control from your template.

Sorry Ivan,

As I mentioned earlier I am only a front-end developer. You're going to have to dumb that down for me!

HI Peter,

Here's the process for customizing the menu control in Sitefinity 4.x.

1. Create a folder in the root of your project called "Customized" or any other name that suites your requirements
2. Create a sub-folder in the Customized folder called "Controls"
3. Create a new Web User Control in this folder called CustomMenu.ascx
4. Register the Telerik namespace at the top of the page as shown in line 2 below

1.

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="CustomMenu.ascx.vb" Inherits="Customized_Controls_CustomMenu" %>

2.<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

5. Add the telerik menu to the control as shown in line 3 and 4 below




1.<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="CustomMenu.ascx.vb" Inherits="Customized_Controls_CustomMenu" %>
2.<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
3.<telerik:RadMenu ID="Menu" runat="server" Skin="Vista" ExpandDelay="0" ExpandAnimation-Duration="0" ExpandAnimation-Type="None"
4.    CollapseAnimation-Duration="0" CollapseAnimation-Type="None" CollapseDelay="0"></telerik:RadMenu>

6. In Sitefinity admin drop a normal menu control onto a template or page

7. Click edit to get to the menu control's properties

8. Click advanced and scroll down to the CustomLayoutTemplatePath field

9. Enter the following value for this field: /Customized/Controls/CustomMenu.ascx



I think that's about it. 



Regards,

Jacques
