Possible to load a navigation set and then use it in a foreach loop

[tammu]

I have situation where I need to load a navigation set to a custom variable and then use foreach to loop through the variable to display the navigation items. I don't want to use the navigation template due to my requirement.

I was able to load the navigation set using the code below.

<mvt:item name="readytheme" param="Load_NavigationSet('main_menu', pcm_menu )" />

And if I do &mvt:global:pcm_menu, I can see the entire structure of the menu. Where I am stuck is how to use the foreach loop to loop though the menu items. I tried something like below and was unsuccessful.

<mvt:foreach iterator="pcm_menu:item" array="pcm_menu:items">
   &mvt:global:pcm_menu:item:name;<br>
</mvt:foreach>

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks

Try something like this:

<mvt:item name="readytheme" param="Load_NavigationSet('main_menu')" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="item" array="readytheme:loaded:items">
     &mvt:item:name;<br>
</mvt:foreach>

By default if you do not have a second parameter the values will be added to the l.settings:readytheme:loaded structure.

Within that structure you can loop through the items array and get the values for the first level of links.

Hi Nick,

That worked perfectly, I was able to loop through all the child items too.

Thanks
