Question

Starter Info: Working with Plone 4.0.7 on CentOS 5.5 with Python 2.6.6.

I’ve got a folder that contains a few pages and I want to have a navigation portlet on all of the child pages but not the parent folder. My first thought of how to do this was to add the navigation portlet to the parent folder, pointing to itself, and setting the start level to 1. This works for not showing the portlet on the parent, but none of the child Pages are showing the portlet. I assume this is because the Pages aren’t a folderish content type so the start level doesn’t apply to them. Does anyone know where I would start to look to create a work around for this?

Thanks

I can confirm the issue.
The problem seems to be, that pages/documents are not recognized as subsections but as an item of the containing folder.
You can counterproof that, if you add folders to your folder, with them the navigation will work as you expect.
As a workaround you could use CSS to hide the navi on the folder with sth like:
.portaltype-folder .portletNavigation { display: none; }
