Creating Menus questions for newbie

Post by percepts »

Hi,
I have just installed cms and am looking at menus.

what I would like to do is create one top level menu for home page from which each link uses a completely different menu. i.e. can I can create several different menus. If so could you point me in the right direction to acheive this?

Thanks

log in to your cms, go to Lay out > Manu manager and click on Menu help. There may be some information to start with.

To push you in the right direction:
(optional) start_level="2" - This option will have the menu only display items starting a the given level. An easy example would be if you had one menu on the page with number_of_levels='1'. Then as a second menu, you have start_level='2'. Now, your second menu will show items based on what is selected in the first menu.
So put in your pagetemplate:
{menu number_of_levels=1} for your top level menu

and
{menu start_level=2} for your submenu
