Is there a way to show the menu path?

This questions is regarding the menu at: http://www.elefun.net/

Lets say I click "Biler" > "Fuel biler" > "FG"

Then this product category opens. Now I would like to show the path at the top of the page like this:

Biler >> Fuel biler >> FG

Is there a way to do this? I suppose it should be possible to do somehow related to the "page/pagematch" system. Any idea? There might already be a solution. I've been searching a lot in the Milonic website and this forum, but found no answeres. Maybe I don't search for the right words?

Hi,

Try this demo, I believe it will do what you want. There's a link on the page to the topic thread from which it was developed.

Hi. Thank for the hint and link. This works fine, but I have some problem makeing it work in my websolution. Here is my problems:

1. The root menue is positioned in a table and the root menudata is not in the menu_data file, but in the html file. The root menu is not shown in the "Menu selections: " text .

2. This system uses a query without name. Like "?71" in the end of the url. My solution is verry much based on queries like "?kategoriID=101".

This problem would be solved if the script could handle a querystring with a name. Eksample "?kategoriID=101&MenuItem=81"

Any hints?

Hi,

I'm looking at that page and I have no idea what you are saying since there is 'text' showing for the menu, otherwise how would people be able to see to click Biler open a submenu and then click the next item? That text is from the 'main menu' you have in the table, and that main menu calls the menu_data.js file for the submenus to show. I'm not sure why you removed the mainStyle and put it in the table, it would work just fine in the menu_data.js file as far as I know, since the menu_data.js file is being called/rendered before the main menu is rendered.

Can you be a little clearer as to what you mean by not having a menu data file? And, I guess you could put that function on the page itself, though that would mean on every page on the site that uses the menu. Other than that, I don't really know what to suggest.

And, I just noticed, you are way way downlevel. You need to upgrade the menu to version 5.728.

Sorry...

Sorry for beeing short in details. The site you've been looking at is the old version of my website. I'm working on a new one at localhost. I can't work live on the solution used byhundresds every day.

In the new version I have upgraded the menu version. I will try to make a sample page for you to explain my problem better. I'm quite busy today. I'll probably have more time tomorrow and will post a link here when I've made an example.
