menu problems

Post by sloecoach »

On my top level menu number 5 is "volunteer", from a drop-down on that 5.5 is "current projects" and the projects are 5.5.1, 5.5.2, etc.,

What I need is how, on the "current projects" page, to display the list (as links) those projects (5.5.1, et al)

A little help would be much appreciated.

Ok. After much hair pulling, I found my problem, but in doing so, I found another, which I may or may not be able to fix on my own. When  my sub sub pages, 5.5.1 for example, were created I unchecked the "show in menu" button. (cause I didn't want them in my top navigation bar). well, this also prevents them from showing up using the other menu templates. So I have to go turn on the "show in menu" option.

The problem then becomes that they will now show up in my main navigation, so I must now alter *that* menu template to only show the first and second level items.

Wish me luck. I'll post if I figure it out.

Victory is mine!

I had to do a little digging to find the parameters that {menu} accepts (and if there's a better place let me know)

http://trac.cmsmadesimple.org/cgi-bin/t ... ngeset/508

From this page, I gleaned that number_of_levels was the parameter I was looking for. It seems to be working great.

Thanks to me for all my help.

You can also use {menu start_element="5.5.1" show_root_siblings="1"} this will show only 5.5.* pages in the menu...
