Hi,

Let's say I have a site with a menu and sub-menu displayed in the header. When I access a page, say:

Level 1 > Level 2 > My current page

The "Level 2" button in my menu is highlighted when I am on "My current page". However if "My current page" is not set to be included in the menu, then the Level 2 (and Level 1) menu options will not be highlighted.

Is there a workaround so the the correct level stays highlighted/active in the menu even if the sub-page is not included in the menu?

Thanks Jamie. I'm already using breadcrumbs, so the visitor is not completely lost, but it would be way better if the sub-menu would also indicate in which section he is, even if the current page is not included in the menu.

I'm not so sure whether it's a good idea or not, but placing following code in SiteMenu.ascx.cs will do the job

menuItem = menu.FindItem(valuePath);
                    //If the page is not Included In Menu, the above line of code wont work, following code is workaround for it
                    //=========
                    if (menuItem == null)
                    {
                        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(valuePath))
                        {
                            int lastSeperatorIndex = valuePath.LastIndexOf(menu.PathSeparator);
                            while (lastSeperatorIndex > 0)
                            {
                                valuePath = valuePath.Substring(0, lastSeperatorIndex);
                                menuItem = menu.FindItem(valuePath);
                                if (menuItem != null)
                                    break;
                                lastSeperatorIndex = valuePath.LastIndexOf(menu.PathSeparator);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    //=========

Hi Joe

As of version 2.3.6.2, I placed this code after the line number 413.

406: if (!didSelect)
407:            {
408:                valuePath = SiteUtils.GetActivePageValuePath(siteMapDataSource.Provider.RootNode, startingNodeOffset);

409:

410: if (valuePath.Length > 0)

411:                {
412:                   MenuItem menuItem;
413:                    menuItem = menu.FindItem(valuePath);

I've downloaded version 2.3.6.5 with the change mentioned above but used function IsNullOrWhiteSpace doesn't work with dot.net 3.5, and solution doesn't compile in that framework.

So I changed it with similar one (MS documentation):

!(String.IsNullOrEmpty(valuePath) || valuePath.Trim().Length == 0)

Best,

Giuseppe
