Incorrect path in submenus

Hi-

On one of our sites, the script sorting left menu is not displaying the correct path link for inner folders- for example here:
http://stage.aurora.edu/woodstock/academics/adult-degree-completion...#
The bottom -most link, AU and MCC partnership program test does not append /index to the very end and hence throws an error within cms(404)... Also, when you do get to the page, it is supposed to bold the AU mcc part on same left nav as any other link, instead it throws you out directly under adult degree completion programs and rest of the left nav disappears.

Here is the left nav velocity script that I have been experimenting with-

   The #displaychildren($node) macro will check the passed $node to see if it matches the folder that we are currently in.
   If true then this directory will displayed and checked for children to display.
   If on the current page then then there are no more levels to dig through and it should be highlighted.
*#

#macro(displaychildren $node)
   #set ($checkfolder = $node.getChild('path').value)
   #set ($displaychildren = 0)
   #set ($active = 0)
   #if ($node.getAttribute('current').value == "true")
      #set ($active = 1)
   #end
   #if ($node.name == "system-folder")
   #foreach ($path in $currentpath)      
      #if ($path.getChild('name').value == $_StringTool.substringAfter($checkfolder, $level))
         #set ($displaychildren = 1)
         #set ($active = 1)
      #end      
   #end
   #end 
#end

   The #linkorfile($node $arrow) macro will test the passed $node to see if it is a reference link (i.e. system-file or system-symlink).
   If true then display the simlink or file in the left nav.
   $arrow is used to tell which level the item is on and display the appropriate arrow.
   2 = top level, 0 = 2nd levels, 1 = all other levels.
*#

#macro(linkorfile $node $arrow)
      #if ($shownav == 1)
         <li>
            <a href="$node.getChild('path').value">
            #if ($arrow == 2)
               <div class="accnav_arrow_1">&#187;</div>
               $_SerializerTool.serialize($node.getChild('display-name'), true)
            #elseif ($arrow == 1)
               <div class="accnav_arrow_3">&#8226;</div>
               <div class="lnav_name">$_SerializerTool.serialize($node.getChild('display-name'), true)</div>

   The #program macro is called only when in the /aurora/academics/programs-majors/graduate or /aurora/academics/programs-majors/undergraduate
   directories and will not display additional menus until a program or major has been selected. Then the program and submenu items will be
   generated and displayed on the page.

   The #recurse($node $indent $folder) is only called when $displaychildren = 1.
   
   $node is the folder xpath that we need to loop through and display, as well
   as check to see if there are further levels to loop through.
   
   $indent is either 0 or 1 if we wish to indent or not.
      (original setup is to indent only after the first itteration)
      
   $folder is the folder to be checked against $level and to see if under programs-majors.
        
   This macro will loop through the passed node looking for folders or pages which have been set
   to display in the left nav and check to see if there are submenus to display based on the
   current folder.
   
   -- Caution --
   This macro does call it self in recursive fashion in order to keeep building submenus,
   if there are to many levels deep eventually the column width will be insufficient to
   display all the submenus without overflow.

#macro(recurse $node $indent $folder)
   #foreach ($path in $currentpath)

   This is the main part of the program that calls the macros above as needed.

    Hi Shruti,

    When you have a moment, would you also be able to attach some sample XML so I can take a look at the Format in my local instance. The sample XML can be obtained by editing the Format and selecting the appropriate Block and Context page within the Preview Options section.

    Thanks!

    Hi Shruti,

    Unfortunately, it does not look like the attached file is valid XML. Did you by chance grab the XML provided in the top "preview" box, or the result of clicking the Test Format button?

    Thanks!

    Perfect, thank you Shruti.

    Looking over your Format, I believe the problem is within your program macro. Specifically, all of the other macros have something like the following which is what is adding on that /index for folders.

    #if ($child.name == "system-page")
       #set ($href = $child.getChild('path').value)
    #elseif ($child.name == "system-folder")
       #set ($href = $child.getChild('path').value + "/index")
    #end
    

    My initial thought is that you would want to do something similar here.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ryan-

    That was my initial thought as well, and I did try this change in program macro #macro(program)
       #set ($program = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, "//system-folder[@current = 'true']"))
       #if ($_StringTool.substringAfter($program.getChild('path').value, $level) != 'graduate-programs' && $_StringTool.substringAfter($program.getChild('path').value, $level) != 'adult-degree-completion-programs')
       <li>
          #set ($href = $program.getChild('path').value + "/index")
          <a class="active" href="$href">
             <div class="accnav_arrow_2">&#187;</div>
             <div class="lnav_name">$_SerializerTool.serialize($program.getChild('display-name'), true)</div>
          </a>
          <ul class="progmenu">
          #foreach ($pitem in $program.children)
             #if ( ($pitem.getAttribute('reference').value == "true" || $pitem.name == "system-symlink" || $pitem.name == "system-file") && $pitem.getChild('display-name') && $pitem.getChild('display-name').value != "" )
                #linkorfile($pitem 1)
             #else
                #foreach ($pmeta in $pitem.children)
                   #if ($pmeta.getChild('name').value == 'left-nav' && $pmeta.getChild('value').value == 'Yes')
                   
                      <li>
                      
                      #if ($pitem.name == "system-page")
                               #set ($href = $pitem.getChild('path').value)
                            #elseif ($pitem.name == "system-folder")
                               #set ($href = $pitem.getChild('path').value + "/index")
                            #end

                         #if ($pitem.getAttribute('current').value == "true")
                            <a class="active" href="$pitem.getChild('path').value">
                         #else
                            <a href="$pitem.getChild('path').value">
                         #end
                            <div class="accnav_arrow_3">&#8226;</div>
                            <div class="lnav_name">$_SerializerTool.serialize($pitem.getChild('display-name'), true)</div>
                         </a>
                      </li>
                   #end
                #end
             #end
          #end
          </ul>
       </li>
       #end
    #end

    This didn't change anything. Am I missing anything?

    Hi Shruti,

    I am seeing the following in your macro:

    #if ($pitem.getAttribute('current').value == "true") 
      <a class="active" href="$pitem.getChild('path').value"> 
    #else 
      <a href="$pitem.getChild('path').value"> 
    #end
    

    Instead, try making the following change:

    #if ($pitem.getAttribute('current').value == "true") 
      <a class="active" href="$href"> 
    #else 
      <a href="$href"> 
    #end
    

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Great! That fixed one of the issues. I can get to the index page but the menu changes and the page out when you click on it, Like here: http://stage.aurora.edu/woodstock/academics/adult-degree-completion-programs/nursing/index.html

    Thanks!

    Glad to hear the latest change resolved the index issue.

    To confirm, when you click on the sub-folder link, are you looking to continue to show the same navigation that you see when viewing the link you just provided? If so, it sounds like this may be due to one of two things:

    • Your Index Block is only including the current folder's siblings and not the descendant hierarchy, so your Format is literally just displaying the current page's parent folders and any of it's siblings
    • Your Format needs to be tweaked so it displays all of the hierarchy and not just the current page's siblings

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    The block is actually set at this- "Start at the current page with folder hierarchy, and also include siblings"

    Is this to be changed?

    Thanks!

    Hi Shruti,

    Perhaps try using the Start at the current page with folder hierarchy, siblings, and also render forward option to see if it will include the children of the folder hierarchy. Also, make sure you have an appropriate value entered for the render depth option.

    Let me know if this makes a difference. If not, you may need to select the base folder (or one of the parent folders) as the starting point and just include everything.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Okay, thanks, Ryan! Tried adding index folder an d all other options as well. Either everything disappears or it stays the same.

    Is there anything that needs to be changed in the script?

    Hi Shruti,

    My best guess is you would need to either tweak some XPath or the way the Format traverses the hierarchy.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Not a problem at all, Shruti. Definitely look into those couple of items and keep me posted on your progress or if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ryan- I went backto the script and tried all different options for index folder but I am a little lost at the recurse macro. The menu that builds for sub folder is completely out of the main navigation. Like here: http://stage.aurora.edu/woodstock/academics/adult-degree-completion-programs/nursing/au-mcc-partnership-test/index.html#.VhQpFGuBxOJ

    Hi Shruti,

    When you have a moment, please attach the following so I can help take a closer look:

    • Your Format as it currently stands
    • Sample XML of your Index Block with the AU and MCC Nursing Partnership Program-test page as the context. This can be obtained by editing the Format and selecting the appropriate Index Block and context page under the Preview Format section

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for attaching the files, Shruti.

    Also, when you have a moment, please attach or paste the expected HTML markup for the menu so I can get a better sense of what you're looking for.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ryan-

    AU-mcc-partnership test is a folder under Nursing. If you look at this page- http://stage.aurora.edu/woodstock/academics/adult-degree-completion-programs/nursing/au-mcc-partnership.html
    The last item on left nav is the folder, without the index added at the end. And when I click on it, I want it to be an active item and stay in same left nav, rather create a new one like it does now.
    I have attached the expected markup of left nav.
    Please let me know if this makes sense.

    Thanks!

    Hi Shruti,

    I spent most of the morning dissecting the Format and, honestly, it's very difficult to follow. Specifically, if you debug the loops the context variable is a mixture of page/folder elements as well as metadata and system elements; also it's difficult to determine what some of the macros do in general.

    That being said, I retooled one of our example Formats and I believe I was able to get the desired output. Note: you don't currently have child pages within that active folder so it's difficult to debug beyond that 3rd level, but I think it should work. Give the following a try for starters:

    #*
    * Macro for disaplying a node's link.
    * 
    * For folders, output a link that goes to the folder's index page. Also, output 
    * additional markup for the link containing arrows based on the level.
    * 
    * @param $node The current node to output
    * @param $level The current nested level
    *#
    #macro ( showLink $node $level )
        ## Get node location
        #set ( $nodeLoc = $node.getChild("link").value )
        
        ## Grab page "title"
        #set ( $nodeTitle = $node.getChild("title") )
        
        ## Grab "display-name"
        #set ( $nodeDisplayName = $node.getChild("display-name") )
        
        #if ( $nodeDisplayName && $nodeDisplayName.value != "" )
            #set ( $theTitle = $nodeDisplayName )
        #elseif ( $nodeTitle && $nodeTitle.value != "" )
            #set ( $theTitle = $nodeTitle )
        #else
            #set ( $theTitle = $node.getChild("name") )
        #end
        
        #if ($node.getName() == "system-folder")
            #set ( $nodeLoc = "${nodeLoc}/index" )
        #end
        
        #set ( $activeClass = "" )
        #if ($node.getAttribute('current')) 
          #set ( $activeClass = "class='active'" )
        #end
        
        <a href="${nodeLoc}" ${activeClass}>
            #if ($node.getName() == "system-folder")
                #if ($level == 1)
                   <div class="accnav_arrow_1">&#187;</div>

                   <div class="lnav_name">${_EscapeTool.xml($theTitle.value)}</div>

    Thanks Ryan.
     Those were pretty much my difficulties as well.
    With current script, I can no longer see the AU mcc folder under nursing.

    I'll tweak a few things here and see what I can get.

    Thanks so much, Ryan!

    Not a problem at all, Shruti.

    With current script, I can no longer see the AU mcc folder under nursing.

    Are you referring to the au-mcc-partnership-test folder? If so, it's at the bottom of the nested menu. As I mentioned, your Index Block did not contain any pages within that folder so you won't see an additional menu under it.

    Please let me know if you have any questions and keep me posted on your findings.

    Thanks!

    Okay.
    So does that mean I need to change the rendering behavior on index block to a different option?
    If so, other options did not display it either.

    Hi Shruti,

    Can you confirm whether this folder contains additional pages besides index? The sample XML you provided did not, so my assumption is there are no other pages at this level in the menu to display.

    As I mentioned, once you create some more pages within that folder the submenu should appear.

    Thanks!

    No. I meant the folder(AU MCC Partnership test) that was at the left nav bottom on this page here- http://stage.aurora.edu/woodstock/academics/adult-degree-completion-programs/nursing/index.html#.VhfHlSv3T6k

    It no longer appears. Nursing itself has various pages under it, and they all show just fine(as you can see on the link above), AU MCC partnesrship Test is one and only folder under nursing, and that does not show anymore. :)

    Hi Shruti,

    Looks like you will need to tweak the XPath on line 65 where showFolder attempts to traverse it's children. Specifically, the XPath is only looking for folders that have the current page within it, which is why your folder isn't showing.

    Try the following and let me know how it works out:

    #set ( $subfolders = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($folder, "system-page[name!='index' and dynamic-metadata[name='left-nav']/value = 'Yes'] | system-folder | system-symlink") )
    

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ryan-

    I hope I am sending the email to the right person, I had posted a couple questions on formats forum but I haven't received much help, and you have always been able to fix things for us in past.
    So, I dug into my older emails to find a way to email you.

    This is where I posted my question- https://help.hannonhill.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115001929934-Nested-loops?page=1#community_comment_115001293693

    I am unable to loop through various images in mini slider, getting only first image for each section. Could you PLEASE take a look?

    Thanks so much,
    Shruti
