more than one menu?

[toolman]

Hi there,
Is it possible to have more than one menu, e.g a top menu and then another menu underneath it that I can apply pages to?

thanks

Yes it is possible, it depends how you want to use the second menu, the best is you read help section of the MenuManager.

Some options:
{menu start_level='2'} this would show sublevels in the second menu
{menu includeprefix='alias1,alias2,alis3} would only show alias 1,2,3
{menu excludeprefix='alias1,alias2'} would hide alias1,2 and so on.

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to set up a menu so that I can apply pages to it in admin, rather than having to modify the code each time I add a page?

There is also a child of parameter, this will let you set a section header as not shown in menu then use this to show children of...

(optional) childrenof="" - This option will have the menu only display items that are descendants of the selected page id or alias. i.e: {menu childrenof=$page_alias} will only display the children of the current page.

Thanks. I have tried this, but nothing is showing:

{menu childrenof=$services}

When it says $page_alias that means it will get the page alias of the page it's on and show the children of it, if you want to show from the page alias "services" just use services w/o $...

Thanks. I have it working, but I am trying to include a menu in a div that is a drop down.
However, the code I am using is replacing/renaming the main menu item.

This is my code:

[php]
alias}">
{if $node->alias == 'services'}


   
   
{menu childrenof=services-menu}
   
............
[/php]

Can anyone see a reason why this is not working?

[Dr.CSS]

Is this going to be just menu items that are children of services or children of whatever page you are on?...

[owr_bgld]

.......
{if $node->alias == 'services'}
.......
{menu childrenof=services-menu}
.......

do you see the difference?

Code: Select all

{menu childrenof="services"}

should work - and don't forget the ""

{menu childrenof=$page_alias} is perfect! I was wondering how I could do this. I had in my mind an hour's worth of work creating a new menu in menu manager that started at 2nd level only.....THis is much easier.
