[solved] MenuManager {if $node->hierarchy > 2.8}

[ofrost]

Anyone knows why menumanager doesn't support this argument {if $node->hierarchy > 2.8} if items hierarchy higher than 2.9? It won't display menu items.

What are you trying to do, much more info is needed to help you...

more info = more help...

Thanks for your reply.
My site structure looks like this.

1. About
2. Products
  2.1 Product 1
  2.2 Product 2
  2.3 Product 3
  2.4 Product 4
  2.5 Product 5
  2.6 Product 6
  2.7 Product 7
  2.8 Product 8
  2.9 Product 9
  2.10 Product 10
3. Service
4. Contacts

I want to create menu that shows products and their subpages, but I also want this menu to be divided into 4 columns (because some product pages have many subpages and menu gets big) and place it in the bottom of every page.

So for that I use 4 menu calls with limitation of how many product pages I want in one column. Thats where I use this construction {if $node->hierarchy > 2.8 and $node->hierarchy < 2.11 }. When I have 10 products and more this limitation won't work for products from 10 and above.

Maybe there is a better solution for this case.

Looking in menu help it has only this... $node->hierarchy -- Hierarchy position, (e.g. 1.3.3)  which will show the hierarchy but I don't think it can be used for limiting the number of pages, maybe if you look at the Help you will find another way to do it...

[ofrost]

It works fine with hierarchy on first level, but doesn't work when I try to limit pages on sublevel.

So far I can't find solution for this situation.

Here is menu tamplate that works

Code: Select all

{if $count > 0}
<div class="foot_nav">
<ul>
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}

  {if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
    {repeat string="<ul>" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
  {elseif $node->depth < $node->prevdepth}
  
    {repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
    </li>
  {elseif $node->index > 0}</li>
  {/if}
  {if $node->hierarchy|version_compare:'2.1':'>=' &&  $node->hierarchy|version_compare:'2.4':'<'}

  {if $node->parent == true or ($node->current == true and $node->haschildren == true)}

Idea was to distribute menu branche 2 to 4 columns at the bottom of the page like this

 2.1 Product 1             2.4 Product 4             2.7 Product 7             2.9 Product 9
      2.1...                         2.4...                         2.7...                       2.9...
                                                                       ...
 2.2 Product 2             2.5 Product 5             2.8 Product 8             2.10 Product 10
       2.2...                        2.5...                         2.8...                          2.10...
 2.3 Product 3             2.6 Product 6
      2.3...                         2.6...

The reason for this - element 2.7 has many child nodes

Solution was to extract menu parts by page hierarchy. And this is one of 3 {if} statement that ofrost was missing

Code: Select all

{if $node->hierarchy|version_compare:'2.7':'>=' &&  $node->hierarchy|version_compare:'2.9':'<'}

{* if hierarchy is higher or equal to 2.7    AND   lower than 2.9  display menu as normaly*}

{/if}

ofrost also had an idea to add "Internal Page Links" to elements 2.X and arrange them the way he needed. He decided to do that other way to avoid possible issues with SEO. I do not think so, but battle is won, war is over and everybody are happy.
