I'm trying to set up a sub nav from a Structure Section on my site.

Current code is:

{% set mainEntry = craft.entries.slug(craft.request.getSegment(1)).first() %}
{% set subnav = craft.entries.descendantOf(mainEntry).level(2) %}

{{ subnav.total() }}

But my when loop through sub nav below it returns nothing. I am outputting subnav.total above but it is returning 0, but there is a lot of entries in the CMS.

mainEntry gets loaded with the correct info ok, but I don't get anything in subnav.

  • Your code look right to me, mmc. What happens if you remove .level(2)? Are you not getting descendants at all? – carlcs Aug 14 '14 at 18:08
  • No I'm getting nothing at all - when I remove .level(2) {{ subnav.total() }} still output's 0 – mmc501 Aug 15 '14 at 5:48

Is there a chance that you're getting the another entry with the the same slug as your mainEntry? I'd try to further filter it down by adding section() for example.

As I wrote in the comments, try to loosen the second ElementCriteriaModel by removing the level parameter.

Another idea would be to use the dump() function on your mainEntry (only works with dev-mode turned on).

  • Cheers - adding section() resolved the issue - must have been another slug affecting it. – mmc501 Aug 15 '14 at 9:46
