How do I make the category name button inactive on a drop down menu?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi all,

I have a drop down menu with 7 sections. When you rollover each section header you are offered page options in the standard manner. The section header button itself leads to an active page though. How do I make these 7 page links inactive? In Dreamweaver I would make the link "#" and only the drop downs would be active links.

What do you chaps do?

Thanks,
JP

We did this with one of our C5 sites:http://4streets.com (the accordion on the side has a few top-level links that do not go to a page).

We had to do a custom auto-navigation template to make the nav behave this way. That may be the way you have to go for your needs.

Try searching the site for "custom auto-nav" and auto-nav templates.

Just create an Attribute called 'disable_link_in_nav'

then check this condition in the autonav/view.php (Respective template) file

Thanks for the answer manup, the only problem is that I'm not sure what you mean... If you could give me a brief explanation I would be very grateful.

Thanks again.

Go to Dashboard->Pages and Themes->Attributes

Create an attribute 'disable_linking' by selecting checkbox.

then go to sitemap and check that checkbox for required pages from its properties

Finally modify your PHP file by considering the condition

Thats all
