Re: [Hypercontent-users] Navigation

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex
I seem to have everything set up correctly in the project definition, I 
think it's the xsl I'm having problems with. I've made it just about 
everything else apart from what I need to actually do.  I can get it to 
display the very top level navigation throughout  and have also made it 
display links to all pages on every page.  If you have time to take a 
look that would be great. 

I've included the code below.

Many thanks
Carl

    <xsl:template name="left-navigation">
        <xsl:for-each 
select="$navigation/nav-item/nav-item[/cms:wrapper/cms:source/@directory 
= @directory]">
            <xsl:for-each select="nav-item">
                <xsl:variable name="onSelf" select="@location = 
$sourceItem/@location"/>
                    <xsl:variable name="style">
                        <xsl:choose>
