How to Create a Navigation Menu

In this how-to, we'll create a simple menu which you can use as the primary navigation for your website. This outputs a top level menu with a nested second level using the Menu loop and a Children loop.

mysite/templates/Page.ss

	<ul>
		<% loop $Menu(1) %>
			<li>
				<a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title page" class="<% if $isCurrent %>current<% else_if $isSection %>section<% end_if %>">
					$MenuTitle
				</a>

				<% if $isSection %>
					<% if $Children %>
						<ul class="secondary">
							<% loop $Children %>
								<li class="<% if $isCurrent %>current<% else_if $isSection %>section<% end_if %>"><a href="$Link">$MenuTitle</a></li>
							<% end_loop %>
						</ul>
					<% end_if %>
				<% end_if %>
			</li>
		<% end_loop %>
	</ul>
