That is helpful. Thanks for responding. Based on what you told me though i have some
questions:
1) So the number of levels in the menu are fixed then. So if i have submenu nested
three levels deep then i should have three Sublevel controls. For eg. if i want
MainMenu (control)
SubMenu (control)
SubsubMenu1(control)
Subsubmenu2
Subsubsubmenu2(control)
Then do i need to have a control per level. I hope this is clear. Let me know if it is
not.
2) I should say (rather depressingly) that i have no clue what this control code
should like. Is it possible to get a sample from somewhere?
I hope i'm not imposing too much.
thanks once again,
Regards,
Archana

I had this same req a while ago ( http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/msg09943.html )
The way I did it, with help from someone else on the list, was to use two controls;
MainMenu and SubMenu. MainMenu is modelled after VelocityPortletSetControl, and adds
the concept of "level" to a particular tab. It returns the entire menu, even if a
particular top-menu item isn't open. This was fine for our purposes.
So your psml might look something like this:
<portlets id="Staff">
<control name="MainMenuControl"/>
<controller name="CardPortletController"/>
<entry id="Home" name="Intranet" parent="ContentViewSurfer"/>
<portlets id="AdminHUB" name="AdminHUB">
<control name="SubMenuControl"/>
<controller name="CardPortletController"/>
<entry id="Blank" parent="Blank"/>
</portlets>
</portlets>
when you menu was being drawn, you'd get a list of two portlets (Home and Blank);
their levels being 0 and 1 respectively.
hope that's marginally helpful

Hi,
I'm trying to achieve the following menu structure on the left hand side of the portal:
Menu
submenu1
subsubmenu2
submenu2
Menu1
submenu3
subsubmenu3
I know i can write my own control...but can someone please provide some sort of
guidelines as what i need to do to achieve this?
How does the PSML get affected when i try to implement this structure?
Does the PSML have to reflect the same structure? I'm confused here could someone
please clear my doubt?
I hope someone can help me here. Read some mailing list e-mails but did not get enough
idea to proceed.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
Regards,
Archana
