Hi all,

Can anyone point me to a resource for some DDRMenu Razor templates that incorporate inner drop-down submenus for pages with children?

I'm looking at the NVQuickTheme menu code, and the behavior that seems to be standard there is to persistently display a

I also started to add razor menus for the MVC pipeline (https://dnncommunity.org/...VC-Pipeline-for-DNN) version of this skin: https://github.com/Rocket...ee/MVCpipeline/menus

But I didn't complete it, it's still using the xlt version.

IMO that's a CSS issue not really a DDR menu issue?

Here's a ful menu example in razor: https://demo.40fingers.ne...-demo-skin/DDR-Razor

But it souds like you are looking for a styled example?

Thanks for the feedback, David and Timo! Upon further reflection, this was indeed a CSS / jQuery problem, not a DDR Menu template issue. I was able to apply some code to the existing menu in my project to achieve my desired results without having to alter the Razor scripting that defined the layout. I'll make note of the references you gentlemen provided for future projects, however!
