Dropdown in sidebar

[basicchip]

Maybe I'm missing where it is in blog options

With dropdown in sidebar--
blog v or blog ^
item

without
blog
item

Sometimes I see (and what I want as an option)
blog --- and this one will display the blog page with max item count when selected

Hi @basicchip
I don't understand very well what you want.
Could you explain it with more details and with a real sample?

[basicchip]

I have more than 1 blog in my website.

Sometimes a blog will appear as

blog v

But sometimes they just appear as

blog

I want to be able to control that, but not sure how. It worked the way I wanted accidently at

my website

CLUB BUSINESS shows the dropdown, but NEWS, COACHS CORNER, PHOTO ARCHIVE and RANKINS do not

Actually this IS the way I want it to work. but this only happened by accident, and I want to control that

Have you got NEWS, COACHS CORNER, PHOTO ARCHIVE and RANKINS visible in advanced options, in admin panel?

Navigation show drop-down if the menu item is visible and has children. If you want an item is displayed in menu it should be visible.

OK I see the difference between BLOG and PARENT MENU in your example. But I still see at times that BLOG can become a cascade in my pages

I'm going to add this to macros.html.twig which will fix it in my case

    {% if ( p.template == "default" ) and (p.children.visible.count > 0) %}

Other notes - when blog items are in date descending order, seem like NEXT and PREVIOUS are really reversed, as you are going back in time in pagination and item.

I'd still like to buy you some beers, but the github thinks I'm a robot, having gone through bicycle, bus, stairs traffic light and ...

I'll review it for a future version. Maybe I need to set a conditional that checks if the blog collection is sorted ascending or descending

@basicchip Can you put here the .md code from parent pages with children? Maybe I could see if you have the code with the correct options to show in sidebar menu.

Grav's default behavior for navigation is as follows:

• If the 'visible' property is not set, Grav sets it to true, if the page has numbering set, (01.home, 02.page, etc). If numbering is not set and visible is not selected, it will not be displayed.

You should check if the child pages of a parent page are numbered, if so they will be shown in the menu even if there is no visible marking.
