Navigator Module and Template view not working as expected

I have been customising DMX on our website, and have added the Navigator module to the page to give us the "Tree" menu.  I have noticed a few "quirks" with the Navigator module, and would like to know if it is possible to change this behaviour.

The directory structure I am using is:

+ Folder 1
    |
    + - Folder 2
    + - Folder 3

In the navigiator menu, if I press on "Folder 1", it causes the template view to open the folder correctly.  However, it does not cause the tree to open as showed above (and as it does in the default DMX interface).  If I click on "Folder 1" a second time, the tree opens to reveal "Folder 2" and "Folder 3", but only breifly.  As the module refreshes, they close again.

How do I get the folder tree open on first click and to remain open showing the folders?

Another thing I have noticed is that if I drill down through the folders in the Template View DMX module window, the Navigator menu works as I would expect, opening along the way and showing which folder I am viewing.  That is until I click on a file to get a detailed description.  Once the files details appearthe Navigator menu closes.

Is there a way I can stop this happening and leave the Navigator menu open to show which directory the file is in?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention - I am using DNN 4.9.0 and DMX 5.00.04.

H Steve,

Certainly the second looks like a bug. I'll make a note of that. About the first issue: I believe the tree component expects you to click on the + to open up subfolders. Clicking on the title provokes the refresh.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

On the first point - you are right, if you click on the + it does work correctly.  What threw me is the Default template for the DMX module has a tree that works in a way that most poeple would expect.  When you click on the name of the folder, the subfolders underneath appear.

Is there any way to make the navigator work in the same way?

On the second point, I have my client asking if we can give an idea of when the bug will be fixed.  Do you have an ETA?

Thanks for all your assistance!

Hi Steve,

ETA is too early to give here. Target is within a week or so.

About the first issue: it is not possible to combine everything. The + provokes an Ajax callback to load subfolders. The title reloads the page. This functionality is embedded in the component.

I thought I would just check ion and see if there was any progress on the bug fix with the Navigator?

Thanks,

Daz

Steve,

I've just uploaded a new version of Navigator. Reading through your original message though I should note that you don't get the tree upon a document details selection in the exact state you left it. The reason is that this is not a postback but a new page hit. The tree is rebuilt on every page hit and it ensures the 'selected path' is open. So if you opened other branches before it doesn't keep them open. It can't. It simply doesn't know about this.
