I am trying to have jstree open from root parent to selected child node. i am using jstree with mptt.

the template :

<div id="jstree" class="jstree">
         <ul>
            {% recursetree components %}
            <li ><a href="/maintenance/{{node.id}}/update/">{{ node.name }}</a>
               {% if not node.is_leaf_node %}
               <ul id="child_node">
                  {{ children }}
               </ul>
               {% endif %}
            </li>
            {% endrecursetree %}
         </ul>
      </div>

the script :

<script>
    $('#jstree').jstree().on('click', 'ul a', function () {
        window.location = $(this).attr('href');
     });;
     $("#jstree").jstree("_open_to", 'child_node');
</script>
