Help with Submenus

Post by JaymeNYC »

I have about 5 different pages, each with a different sub menu. on each page I want to only show the submenu+ the parent for that page. Right now in my submenu I have:

1
1.1
1.2
2
2.2
2.3

But since I'm only on the home page (1) I only want to show those pages like this:
1
1.1
1.2

How do I do this?

Hello,

have you read the {menu ...} tag help ? the Menu Manager documentation ?
What have you tried so far and what is unclear with the parameters ?

BTW, moving your thread from "General discussion" to "product support".

I've tried some of the different templates and tried some things on the "Help for the MenuManager module" page but I don't understand that page too well.. is it really that complicated to have a clickible parent/children thats only 4 the related page??

if you want to see all the parent items on the page, then on the main menu give the start_level =1 and on the submenu, give the start_level = 2,

If you only want to see one parent item with it's submenu, then on the main menu, set start-level = 2, and the submenu to 3.

{menu start_level="2" template="whatever"}

would this help?

I mean : show us your current {menu ...} calls and you will receive suggestions to alter them (and/or their templates).
