Hi,

I am using the Structure module for a site that will have about four levels of navigation. Is there any way to configure the nav_sub tag so that it will only display children of the current page if any are present? I thought it was supposed to show only the children of a page.  According to Travis, in a response to a comment in February, that is how it is supposed to function:

It shows the children of a page when you are on that page…

On my site, though: if a page has children, the tag will display them, but if the page doesn’t have children, the tag shows the current page and it’s siblings.

This is how I am setting it for the third level:

I would like the siblings to be hidden and just to show ONE level of children.

Thanks,
John

The proper parameter is show_depth. I’m not following: what you explain sounds correct… can you try using the right parameter and see if it behaves as needed?

Thank you for your reply, Travis. I changed the parameter as you recommended. I am still having the problem. I beg your pardon that I was so unclear. I am using this now:

I am dealing with this hierarchy:

What is Asthma?
    Definition of Asthma
Asthma Management
    Asthma Management Checklist
Medical Treatment of Asthma
    Immunological Treatments for Asthma
Using Special Devices

I wanted to show only the navigation for children. This works for the first three items. If you are on “What is Asthma?” you see the link to “Definition of Asthma” etc.

But if you go to “Using Special Devices,” which has no children, you see the siblings:

What is Asthma?
Asthma Management
Medical Treatment of Asthma
Using Special Devices

I was hoping to make the sub-navigation disappear on pages with no children.

Thanks again for your help!
John

@JohnGribben Got you. Yes, that’s the intended behavior, as I feel it would be worse from a usability standpoint to make the sub navigation disappear and strand the user. It maintains a “here” state and keeps the user aware of where they are. If you really need to get rid of it, you could use segment checking to remove the tag for that page, but in my opinion I’d leave it.

Thanks for your reply.  I see what you mean. 

That is what we are doing—using segment checking to determine where it will appear.

Take care,
John
