no, currently you can specify the area you wish to load, but not one particular div within that area. if you'd like to add functionality to do that, I'd recommend doing it within the javascript, in the ajax callback function. You could add the response markup to a newly created element (not inserted anywhere on the page), and then using something like $(yourNewElement).find('div.myDiv') to scan that resulting markup for the matching elements. best of luck.

Hi,
Has anyone found the solution to this? i have an autonav on the sidebar that i would like to load Main content from, but the CSS selector #sidebar a doesn't read it. i've tried targeting other DIVs but this doesn't always work either.. I came upon this so i thought i might see if there has been a solution to this yet. Thanks in advance

Just to be clear, what I'm trying to do does not necessarily entail reloading of the page. i have an auto-nav block in the sidebar area with an accordion template to define categories in which to nest sub pages, and i also have a date navigation add on.

the date navigation works as expected, with top level categories being months, but the accordion menu only works on top level categories, which i want disabled. the sub pages in this add on do not seem to work for the paging add on.

to do this you'll probably have to make your navigation preload all of the hierarchy of pages, with some of them hidden that don't current apply to the current selected page. And then when a new page loads, you have to hook into the callback event of the rapid paging package to trigger the opening of the navigation to the new state. Since the date nav was one of the standard ones I included that functionality by default, but you'll have to code up that same behavior if you want it to work the same way with other navigation blocks.

I see, so auto-nav block isn't configured to work with rapid paging for sub-levels ? i'm curious if it's easy to explain which parts were modified, and how come the date nav and auto-nav don't have the same structure that would allow for this..

im not sure if this would be beyond my ability, but since date navigation already works, is there an easier way to modify this block?

all i need is 3 categories, which are fixed pages with composer pages adding to each 3 category. these pages are hidden from the top level nav.

i would want to delete the function which creates new months, and instead shows only 3 categories.

i could also do it by loading 3 instances of this custom block if it's easier- a page list that is collapsible like date-nav, and works with rapid paging in a simple way.

This code snippet may be helpful. It's how the rapid paging add-on works with the date-nav and the auto-nav to select the current page. So you'd want to hook into the rapid_page_load event in the same way, and then use the info past through in the 'data' object to select the current page within your navigation. Note that for this approach to work, all of the pages need to be already preloaded within the DOM, but then you can just hide/show them as needed:


//update standard navigation menus on page load
$(document).bind('rapid_page_load', function(e, data) {

var requestURL = data.url.replace(/index.php\//i,'');

//standard auto-nav
$('ul.nav li a').each(function(){
//var el = $(this);
var parent = $(this.parentNode);
var linkURL = this.href.replace(/index.php\//i,'');
if( parent.hasClass('selected') && linkURL!=requestURL ) parent.removeClass('selected');
else if( linkURL==requestURL ) parent.addClass('selected');
});

//date-nav
if( typeof(ccmDateNav)!='undefined' && ccmDateNav ){
//ccmDateNav.setPg( data.cID, data.dateKey );
$('.ccmDateNav a').each(function(i,el){
var linkURL = el.href.replace(/index.php\//i,'');
if( linkURL==requestURL ){
$(el.parentNode).addClass('selected');
ccmDateNav.triggered( $(el.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode).find('.trigger').get(0),'open');
}else $(el.parentNode).removeClass('selected');
});
}

});

Is this function within the targeted block's (ie auto nav) view.php or do I insert them in rapid paging..?

I could use this method to bind any JavaScript based nav such as dojo page filter too?
