Hi lee

How do you make a collapsible Side menu using SOLPARTMENU

if not solpartmenu whats your other suggestion to create such menu

So instead of the usual pop submenu the menu items expands to show submenu below it and collapses when you click again

thanks

Hello,

I do not think this is possible with SolpartMenu, I would suggest you check out the tree view menu.  There is an example of this in the DNN blue vertical skin.

Thanks,

Hi lee

i see. can you send me the link to the blue vertical skin?

thanks

Hello,

It comes installed with your DotNetNuke installation - you should be able to go into the _default/skins folder and see the skin in there.

- You can test it out by just selecting the skin for a page - it should already be installed,

Thanks,

Lee

I tried applying DNN-Blue-Vertical Menu-Fixed width (assuming this is the collapsible menu you were talking about)

but when I click Update I got the ff error:

What could be wrong?

Also what's really the syntax for TREEVIEWMENU ? because when I used it in my skin all what appears in the browser is still [TREEVIEWMENU]

thanks

Which version of DNN are you using?

If it is 4.4.1 some dll files were missing from the install version which maybe causing this error.

the same problem occurred here:
How to fix the [DROPDOWNACTIONS] token bug in DotNetNuke 4.4.1

If you download version 4.5.1 go to the bin folder and copy this dll file into the bin folder of your 4.4.1 installation it should solve your problem:

DotNetNuke.DNNTreeNavigationProvider.dll
