Accordion V1 - Omitting some Sections from the menu.

Post by norman »

This post is for Accordion Menu V1.

It is possible to omit some Sections from display.

TOP LEVEL SECTIONS:

Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Accordion Menu / Glossy Accordion Menu.

Near the bottom are two lines (one very long).

Code: Select all

	<a name="acctop" sid="<actinic:variable name="SectionID" />" class="menuitem<actinic:block type="ChildSectionList"><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListIndex%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" > submenuheader</actinic:block></actinic:block>" href="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>" target="_self"><actinic:variable name='SectionName'/></a>
	<actinic:variable name="AccordionSubSections" />
Put a Condition around these lines that displays everything except what you want hidden. E.g.

Code: Select all

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionName%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22Books%22" >
	<a name="acctop" sid="<actinic:variable name="SectionID" />" class="menuitem<actinic:block type="ChildSectionList"><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListIndex%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" > submenuheader</actinic:block></actinic:block>" href="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>" target="_self"><actinic:variable name='SectionName'/></a>
	<actinic:variable name="AccordionSubSections" />
</actinic:block>
The above Condition looks like: SectionName != "Books" i.e. display everything except books.


SECOND LEVEL SECTIONS:

Go to Design / Library / Layouts / AccordionSub Section Lists / Accordion Sub Sections.

Put the Condition around everything that's there (there's only 1 line). E.g:

Code: Select all

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionName%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22Modern%22" >
<li><a href="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>" target="_self"><actinic:variable name='SectionName'/></a></li>
</actinic:block>
The above Condition looks like: SectionName != "Modern" i.e. display everything except Modern.
A tutorial on Conditions can be found in Actinic's Advanced Guide under "Hiding Things With Conditions".

You can even use PHP in the Condition. E.g.

Code: Select all

<actinic:block if="%21%20stristr%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionName%22%20%2f%3e,%20%27mail%27%29">
.
.
</actinic:block>
Will hide any Sections with the word "mail" in their name (and ignoring case).
