In DXA 1.7 I would like to show the first level and also second level of navigation items when I am in the second level. Currently only the sister Navigation Structure Groups of the current Page are shown. I'm using the OOTB Left Navigation example from the DXA Sample site.

How could I show both the root and second level navigation items when on a second level page?

AFAIK the OOTB Navigation facilities only support sister level of navigation, because the NavigationLinks entity has only one level of Links.

Basically:

  • You have to make an extension of the NavigationProvider
  • To populate your own ExtendedNavigationLinks entity with several levels of links
  • And make an extended Navigation view where you can manage several levels of navigation

Here is a blog post describing the steps http://www.fecron.com/en/second-level-in-dxa-navigation/
