Menu manager show_all not working

[LadyHLG]

Hello,
I am attempting to list out all the child pages of whatever page is current, regardless if they are marked to show in the menu or not.

I am using the following to call the menu manger

Code: Select all

{menu show_all="1" template="side_bar_menu"  childrenof=$page_alias}

However this does not seem to work for any child page marked to not show in menu, in other words, the "show_all" doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is this correct or is there some other way of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Have you tried rearranging the parameters in the tag and maybe using dbl. quotes?...

{menu template="side_bar_menu" childrenof="$page_alias" show_all="1"}

Ok I have tried every combination I can think of rearranging the parameters with double quotes and single ones, I even tried hard coding the page alias. Nothing seems to be working.
Any other ideas?

Curiouser and curiouser...

The following code does seem to work as expected:

Code: Select all

{menu template="side_bar_menu" start_page=$page_alias show_all="1"}

However, in addition to the child pages it also lists the current page, which isnt exactly what I want but I could maybe modify the template to exclude it. Not the best way to go about it, but it is a workaround.

I'm just wondering if the problems with the show_all and childrenof method is a bug or if I am getting something else wrong.

Ok, took a quick peek at the MenuManager Code and I am pretty sure this is a bug. I can't figure out any reason to purposely have show_all not work with childrenof, so I have submitted a bug report.

Bug is fixed in SVN. it will be included with CMSMS 1.9.4
