SID-01006: Tree webtopmenu

Hello, I want to create tree view of my main web on webtopmenu.

On the index topic i created this by treeplugin, but with the webtopmenu I can not understand. Depth of my catalog is 2: Parent1 * Child1 * Child2 Parent2 * Child1 * Child2 ... etc

How do I put this menu (with parents and childs) at the top? Thank a lot.

Discussion and Answer

The top menu cannot handle nested bullets beyond level 2 at this time. You can simulate that if you create a single level bullet that has indented items using spacers. Example:

• Topic Hierarchy
  • Parent1
  • Child1x1
  • Child1x2
  • Child1x2x2
  • Parent2
  • Child2x1
  • Child2x2

Written as:

   * Topic Hierarchy
      * [[Parent1][Parent1]]
      * [[Child1x1][%ICON{empty}% Child1x1]]
      * [[Child1x2][%ICON{empty}% Child1x2]]
      * [[Child1x2x2][%ICON{empty}% %ICON{empty}% Child1x2x2]]
      * [[Parent2][Parent2]]
      * [[Child2x1][%ICON{empty}% Child2x1]]
      * [[Child2x2][%ICON{empty}% Child2x2]]

Which renders in top menu as follows. The "Pretty Hierarchy" menu uses pretty block graphics to indicate the parent-child relationship:

Peter, Thank you! How to do that when i add a new topic (child or parent) on the web, it automatically created in the webtopmenu?

Thank you!

Look into the TreePlugin and TreeBrowserPlugin. Not sure if they support formatted output. You could try using SpreadSheetPlugin formulae to convert a hierarchy (nested bullets) into above bullet list.
