Hello I have a problem with the top navigation.

I have created a sub-site from a site collection. now, the sub-site has a different master page that is similar to the master page in the site collection. the site has a navigation menu and when I create the sub-site it inherits it's top navigation menu. Now I want a different navigation menu and I don't know how to configure it. when I create the current navigation for the sub-site it still showing me the navigation from the top site.

Thank you for your help.

Yotam.

Yotam,

Browse to ur Sub site.

Go to Site settings --> In Look and Feel section Click on Navigation.

In Navigation page Select "Structural Navigation" in the global Navigation settings.

This setting will allow you to manage navigation for this particular site.

 

Hi Shoaib,

I tried it already. it is a custom navigation bar and I think it is related to settings in my mater page for the sub-site.

it's only taking the navigation data from the site collection and not from the sub-site.

You need to make changes to your Subsite master page. locate the control asp:SiteMapDataSource used as data source for your menu control and change the SiteMapProvider property to CurrentSiteMapProvider.

for more detail please follow link below.

Okay Finally found a solution:

this is how the navigation bar looks inside the master page:

    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server">
<asp:SiteMapDataSource
ShowStartingNode="False"
SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
id="topSiteMap"
runat="server"
StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002"/>
<SharePoint:AspMenu
ID="TopNavigationMenu"
Runat="server"
CssClass ="mega-menu"
EnableViewState="false"
DataSourceID="topSiteMap"
AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
UseSimpleRendering="true"
UseSeparateCss="false"
Orientation="Horizontal"
StaticDisplayLevels="2"
AdjustForShowStartingNode="false"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2"
SkipLinkText=""
             
            />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

all I needed was to change in the "SiteMapProvider" to value shown above.
hope it helps someone!
