I think that t:panelNavigation will not support what you are looking for. You need to switch to t:panelNavigation2 which has some support. The latter accepts a list of NavigationMenuItem
One more thing - If you want your categories to have text as well as an Image icon then you will not be able to use <t:navigationMenuItem> as it does not work even though it has a constructor which is suppose to do that (Bottom line it does not do it). You will have to use <t:commandNavigation2> inside <t:panelNavigation2> To achieve the same I have programmatically created the entire left nav using <t:panelNavigation2> and <t:commandNavigation2> ~madhav > -----Original Message----- > From: legolas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 2:18 AM > To: users@myfaces.apache.org > Subject: Re: can we make PanelNavigation to have scroll? > > > Thank you for your reply. > can you please give me a hint about binding this PanelNavigation component > to a database table? > I have a table of categories, each category can have some childs and / or > one category. > > > here is what my database table looks like > [code] > CREATE TABLE categories ( > categoryid int(11) unsigned AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, > categoryname varchar(255) NULL, > categorydescription varchar(255) NOT NULL, > parentcategory int(11) unsigned NOT NULL, > clickcount bigint(20) NULL, > categoryimage varchar(255) NULL, > categoryurl varchar(255) NULL, > ) > > [/code] > > I can extract all records of this table and put them into some data > structure in a backing bean. > what i can not understand is how does the structure looks like ? > > > Thanks > > > > > Andrew Robinson-5 wrote: > > > > Put it in a DIV with CSS to limit the height and use overflow: auto; > > > > On 1/22/07, legolas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >> > >> > >> legolas wrote: > >> > > >> > Hi > >> > thank you for reading my post. > >> > can we make http://www.irian.at/myfaces/panelnavigation_5.jsf to have > >> > vertical scroll when it emerge? > >> > > >> > my problem is that i have a fixed area that i should show some > >> categories > >> > and their childs, > >> > i want to use this component but problem is that i can not do it > >> because > >> > it emerges and grow bigger than my available space. > >> > > >> > is there any way that we add some kind of scroll around it to make > sure > >> > that it does not grow more than alowed space and instead it grows > >> inside > >> > its own frame? > >> > > >> > Thanks > >> > > >> > >> > >> any comment ? > >> even if i could make tree2 to works inside its own frame when it grows > my > >> problem will resolve. > >> > >> thanks > >> > >> -- > >> View this message in context: > >> http://www.nabble.com/can-we-make-PanelNavigation-to-have-scroll-- > tf3050635.html#a8510992 > >> Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >> > >> > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/can-we-make- > PanelNavigation-to-have-scroll--tf3050635.html#a8539751 > Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
