Radmenu horizontal in Sharepoint 2010

[Gerard]

Hello,

In Sharepoint 2010 I would like to let Radmenu take over the global navigation. How can I change it's default behaviour to dropdown subsites below the Home-item and have them displayed horizontal like in the attached image?

Thank you.

Hello,

An easy and convenient way of achieving similar functionality would be to set your home item as root item as shown in the code snippet below:
//markup code

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Skin="Metro">
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Home">
                        <Items>
                            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="AAD"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="PDFTEST"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Telerik">
                                <Items>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Telerik Child Item"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                                </Items>
                            </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        </Items>
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                </Items>
            </telerik:RadMenu>

Thank you Boyan for pointing out the right direction!
The only thing now is to get this to work with a DataSourceID="topSiteMap", is that possible?

Thank you.

Hello,

Indeed the RadMenu control does support binding to various data sources. Please take a look at our Binding to Table-Based DataSource Components help article and our Declarative Binding demo.

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" Skin="Metro" style="z-index:10;position:absolute" ShowToggleHandle="True" />

We wrap this in a web part but you can put this code directly in the master page if you want.  The master page would look like this:

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" Skin="Metro" style="z-index:10;position:absolute" ShowToggleHandle="True" />
<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="topSiteMap" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" SiteMapProvider="GlobalNavigation" StartFromCurrentNode="true" StartingNodeOffset="0" ShowStartingNode="false" TrimNonCurrentTypes="Heading"/>

Hi Travis,

Thank you for this Sharepoint-specific contribution.

Using your masterpage example seems like the solution I was looking for.
Any idea what additional change I should make to prevent it from generating this rendering control error: Unknown server tag 'PublishingNavigationPortalSiteMapDataSource' ?

Thanks again!

[Travis Cotton]

Make sure you have this at the top of the page:

<%@ Register Tagprefix="PublishingNavigation" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

[Gerard]

Travis,

I added the register part. Thanks!
Now it complains about "Duplicate component name 'topsiteMap'.
I tried 'SiteMapDS' instead with no luck.

Any idea?

[Travis Cotton]

Can you post your master page code here?

Your error is generated because this delegate control shares the same ID:

<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="TopNavigationDataSource" Id="topNavigationDelegate"><Template_Controls>
   <asp:SiteMapDataSource
     ShowStartingNode="False"
     SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
     id="topSiteMap"
     runat="server"
     StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002"/>
  </Template_Controls></SharePoint:DelegateControl>


You can remove this or comment it out if you prefer.

Travis,

Thank you very much for your patience and time.
I only had to change EnableEmbeddedSkins into "True" additionally and now it works!

Cheers.

[Travis Cotton]

Oh yeah sorry.  Im not using any of the predefined skins since we use these master pages for multiple sites all with their own color schemes.  Its a pita but there it is.  Glad its working for you.
