SharePoint - Sharepoint SiteMapDataSource StartingNodeUrl property...

Asked By Anand Malli on 21-Jul-10 08:11 AM

hello everyone,

I am facing some problem regarding SiteMapDataSource in sharepoint master page.

I want to have list of all sid which can be assigned to StartingNodeUrl so that my asp menu starts from that node onwards & fetch child node of tht specific url.

i.e. I have got 2 sid 1002 & 1025 which are being used for top navigation bar & left quicklaunchbar.

currently I have following structure in my quicklaunch

Document Library

FirstDocLib

SecondDocLib

List

FirstList

SecondList

CustomNode

FIrstCustomPageLink

SecondCustomPageLink

Survey

People and Groups

I want to show something like this...

CustomNode

FirstCustomPageLink

SecondCustomPageLink

Rest of the Item should be hidden.

I request you all.. please don't reply with removing those nodes from quick launch as I need those links for other purpose.

please give me suggestion if I can achieve it using StartingNodeUrl by setting so,e sid:xxxx

thanx in advance...

I too am having problems in this are. i want to have a list that shows subsites based like the quick launch but without removing the other things.

Basically, i want a list on my home page that shows the subsites of another subsite eg:

imagine a site collection that had had two subsites called big progects and little projects

the big projects subsite has (lets say) ten sub sites of its own

i would want a list on the home page that shows the ten sub-sub-sites

i know i could show three levels of sub site in the quick launch and edit the quick launch to only show what i want but that's not the way i need it to work

anybody got a clue?

did you (Anand Malli) find a solution?
