• Problem with xe:basicContainerNode in xe:this.bannerUtilityLinks

    By Ulrich Krause 1 decade ago

    When i put the following code into the xe:this.bannerUtilityLinks section of an applicationLayout control


                    &lt;xe:basicContainerNode label=&quot;Container 2&quot;&gt;<br/>
                    &lt;xe:this.children&gt;<br/>
                        &lt;xe:basicLeafNode label=&quot;Link 1&quot; href=&quot;/&quot;&gt;&lt;/xe:basicLeafNode&gt;<br/>
                        &lt;xe:basicLeafNode label=&quot;Link 2&quot; href=&quot;/&quot;&gt;&lt;/xe:basicLeafNode&gt;<br/>
                    &lt;/xe:this.children&gt;<br/>
                &lt;/xe:basicContainerNode&gt;<br/>



    the output looks like this:



    Container 2

    Link1 Link2



    I expected to get the same result as when I put the same code into xe:this.placeBarActions; a nice "dropdown" menue.



    Is there anything I'm missing? Cannot find a sample in the sample application.

    • It's working as designed

      Hi Ulrich,

      Currently it's designed to work the way you've described. For

      xe:this.bannerUtilityLinks it will generate inline list of nodes, thus container nodes doesn't make a lot of sense for it. And for

      xe:this.placeBarActions in case container's node is used it will generate that nice button.

      • don't agree ...

        that "container nodes doesn't make a lot of sense for bannerUtility".  Why not make it work the way it is working in Lotus Greenhouse? see screenshot (left)

        What I have now is a waste of real estate in my navigation. see screenshot. (right)

        • You're both right :-)

          When this object was created, it was for oneui 2.0 and it didn't have popup menus. But such menus appeared with oneui v2.1 so I made the change and now popup menus are being displayed for container in application and utility links

          The fix will be in the next 853 build

          • Great!
