Quick Launch Navigation for SharePoint Publishing Sites

In this article we will be seeing how to add a heading or link and how to delete the heading or link from the SharePoint publishing site quick launch.

I have a site collection with the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature enabled on the site collection and sites with the SharePoint Server Publishing site feature activated.

Go to Site Actions => Site Settings => Look and Feel => Navigation => Navigation Editing and Sorting.

In the Navigation Editing and Sorting you could see the following options.

Programmatically Add or Delete Heading and Link:

using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://servername:1111/sites/sample"))          

{

using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.RootWeb)              

{ PublishingWeb publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web); SPNavigationNodeCollectionnodeColl=publishingWeb.Navigation.CurrentNavigationNodes;

// Create or Delete heading and link               

}          

}

// Create a new heading

SPNavigationNode newHeading = SPNavigationSiteMapNode.CreateSPNavigationNode("Heading", "",NodeTypes.Heading, nodeColl);

// Create a new link

SPNavigationNode newLink = SPNavigationSiteMapNode.CreateSPNavigationNode("Link", "",NodeTypes.AuthoredLinkToWeb, newHeading.Children);

//Delete a heading or link

int count=nodeColl.Count; while (count != 0) {

if (nodeColl[count - 1].Title == "MyHeading") 

{    

nodeColl[count - 1].Delete();  

}  

count--; }
