Hi All,

I am trying to build a site that has the following structure:

- Home
- 
  - Departments

- 
  - 
    - Stores

- 
  - 
    - Articles

On each department page - sport for example - I need to add a nav for  
the  
articles within that department. I have tried the following and I was  
just  
wondering if I was doing anything wrong as it doesn’t seem to work.

- 

I have tried numerous different variations but don’t seem to be able to  
manage it. If I only had articles as children it would of course be  
easier  
but I need the stores beneath departments also. Any ideas??

Keith

Keith,

radiant cannot parse Radius tags within Radius tags. This means, the  
call \<r:find url="\<r:url /\>/articles/"\> will not work. You will  
probably need to do some conditionals or something, but I can’t think  
of an easy way to set up what you would like to do. Maybe some sort  
of nested navigation. In the wiki is a recipe for a site map, take a  
look at that, it may solve your problem.

But in any case, nested Radius tags will not work.

Hope this helps a bit.

Yes, unfortunately, you will probably have to spell out the entire url  
of the parent page. Or, if you don’t mind some minor brain-twisting,  
you could do this:

\<r:children:each\>  
\<r:if\_url matches=“articles/?$”"\>  
\<r:children:each\>

- Of course, modify that to your needs.
