I have an exact requirement and have follow your example step-by-step, however in SP2010. It didn’t work. I looked at the code and didn’t see if SP2010 would make any different to the codes, but couldn’t figure out why….if you know of a solution, please let me know. I have googles and search for an answer for days…Thanks much in advance.

Not sure about the field name, but there must be one that provides the full URL.

If you need a custom look, you’re better of doing it from scratch, or with a client side script. You’ll find on the Web lots of free solutions!

I have used this trick to create a dropdown on my dashboard to pull from a list of forms in a library, creating list of hyperlinks to the forms (single-level). For the URL, I am pulling from the @LinkTitle xpath, and have made the appropriate changes to the code provided in DropDownMenu_1.text:

// Create the menuitem for each item
var title = ”;

var url = ”;

I got it all working except for the fact that when a link from the dropdown is selected, the URL for the page that opens is not complete. For example:

I have a page @ the following link:

http://sharepointportal/... …/PlaySite/Pages/Client%20Name.aspx

However, when I click on the link in the dropdown, the URL is:

http://sharepointportal/... …/PlaySite/Client%20Name (missing the “pages/” and “.aspx”)

This gives me an invalid page. I tried doing a combination of sub-string options but that didnt work. Maybe there is somethign to be done with the DDWRT? I am at a loss here, ao any help from anyone woudl be GREATLY appreciated.

Rudy

I have tested it, and it works well…

I have a Question for you, I would like to make my dropdown menu looks different than the regular “site actions” menu.
¿Where in the code can I insert some graphic css styles to change its background, type and etc.?

This site: http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/05/15/SharePoint-Tip–How-to-Activate-the-Drop-Down-Menu.aspx
tells you how to do that with multiple sites, but I’d like to have the second level be libraries instead of sites (Site 1 > Site 2 > Site 2 library). Any ideas on how to do this?

I too would like to know how to get the Menu Drop Down to show up in the Top Navigation Bar (next to the traditional Home tab). I tried replacing the “MenuPlaceholder” id with “PlaceHolderHorizontalNav” but it basically does nothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am not a developer.

I still can’t get the icons to display at all.
The path to the pictures is in a text column.

Is anyone getting the pictures diplayed at all??

Best regards,
vinz

Still remains the issue with icons..

Thank you very much for sharing this, it works great!
2 questions:
-For some reason my menu doesn’t dipslay the icons at all. Any idea why that is?
-How can I change the displayed Menu Title into something else?

If i change this portion of the xsl code
serverclientid=”TwoLevelMenu”>Menu Title&lt
into
serverclientid=”TwoLevelMenu”>Something Else&lt

It doesn’t do, it crashes.

Any ideas?

thanks
Vinz
