Show children and grandchildren of current parent

[ottoreck]

Hi. I'm running CMS Made Simple 1.10.3. I'm using PHP 5.3.2, and MySQL 5.1.44. This is all working with Apache 2.0.63 running on Linux.

I'm new to CMSMS and Smarty, but long time WordPress dev and trying to update a site for customer.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but i can't seem to find the answer searching the internets.

I have a left navigation were I only want to so show the children and grandchildren when i'm on the parent. I'm using the following in my template: {menu start_level="2" number_of_levels="3" collapse="1"}

so structure like:

• Main
  • - One
  • - Two
    • + Child
      • > GrandChild
  • - Three
  • - Four

When i'm on "Two", "Child" or "GrandChild", I want the full list of children to appear for "Two". But of course when on "Three" or "One", Two's children and grandchildren would not be displayed.

The above tag using collapse="1" works, for children but it doesn't display grand children when on "Two". Thus when i'm on "Two" it only shows me the Child. The grand child won't show until i'm on the Child or grandchild.


Thanks

Have you tried collapse='2'?...

[ottoreck]

no collapse="2" gives me all the children of all the parents. Essentially the same as not have collapse at all in the tag.

so that gives me the children of "one" and of "two" regardless of what page i'm on

I think collapse="2" is the same as collapse="0" or false

that doesn't seem to work as it just treats it as collapse false and then shows all the children of all the parents

collapse=2 doesn't seem to work. I looks like the only values are essentially true or false and collapse=2 is teh same as collapse=0

it essentially just shows all the children of all the sections as apposed to two levels of the current child.
