I've got some sub navigation on my site that extends to 2 levels.
I've coded this into my pagelayout.tpl like so.
<ul> {foreach $pagelayout_node.children as $child} <li><a href={$child.url_alias|ezurl}>{$child.name}</a> <ul> {foreach $child.children as $child_subnav} <li><a href="{$child_subnav.url_alias|ezurl}}">{$child_subnav.name}</a></li> {/foreach} </ul> </li> {/foreach} </ul>
This works fine. However, when I click on a child node I lose the top level. I would like this to still be display.
Let's see if i can explain this a little. My navigation is something like below:
1 -- 1.1 -- 1.2 2 - 2.1 - 2.2 3 4 - 4.1
When I click 1.1 the top level all disappears on the page. So I can't go back up the tree. I would like the navigation tree to remain constant independant of the level i am on.
Did that make any sense?

Eh... yes, it makes sense. I guess, $pagelayout_node contains the current node, so you will only display the current node's children with your code.You should probably use a hard-coded node (Node 2, for example), if you want to have a "static" menu.
But: Why don't you use the provided menus or the treemenu code/template?

Thanks Marco,
But could you be a little more spcific?
How could I use the Tree code template?
Thanks

OK, I found some code in the documentation that seems to claim to do what I want however, when I put it in pagelayout.tpl it doesn't output anything.
{def $mainMenu=treemenu( $module_result.path, $module_result.node_id ) } {foreach $mainMenu as $menu} {$menu.level} - {$menu.text}<br /> {/foreach} {undef $mainMenu}
Any idea what I'm missing?
