    Hi Guys

    I am currently looking the sitemap. There a few little things I would change. Not much I am sure you have more important stuff.

    For the seprator I want to have a cool Image. I can not see a way to style this. When the control gets rendered there is no way I can style the seprator as a different entity.

    Also it displays [ Site Map ] as the root node which is not really desirable.

    Hi Paul..

    To get rid of the root node [Site Map]  I did this... after a quick google I found an article about hiding the root node from a SiteMap. 

    It needed some modifying though as it gave me some problems when adding new pages but I posted the code to fix that.

    As for the separator I would suggest you either create your own control inheritting the SiteMapPath control and then just override the rendering to modify the separator, or if you don't have too many Master pages you could look at doing it in the codebehind of the masterpage itself something like this:

    Protected Sub SiteMapPath1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.SiteMapNodeItemEventArgs) Handles SiteMapPath1.ItemCreated

    If e.Item.ItemType = SiteMapNodeItemType.PathSeparator Then
    e.Item.CssClass = "cssClass"
    End If
    End Sub

    I haven't tried it but I assume it would work..By the way the SiteMapPath control isn't a Telerik one so I am not sure if they will change it... You probably need to complain to Microsoft :)

    Well I hope that helps...

    Hello Paul,

    There is a problem with SiteMapPath because it uses virtual paths. This is a limitation in Sitefinity, you can not use leading “../” in paths. We created new control Breadcrumb that actually inherits SiteMapPath and overrides certain methods to make it resolve absolute paths. Also we added some new functionality as the ability to hide the root node. The control will be included in the next release which is expected next week.




    Best wishes,

    Bob
