CMS Made Simple Forums

CMS 1.1

Hey all , I have a site that has a menu structure something like this: (Actually there are many more pages than I've shown but for the sake of simplicity)

1. parent

2. parent
--------------------------
3. parent

4. Parent

  4.1 child
  4.2 child
  4.3 child

5. parent

6. parent

7. parent

8. Parent

Because from 3 down is a french version of the site that I would like to have the menu on its own (not see 1-2)

For example when you click on 3 to go to the sub site when you get to that page what you will see (and any page with that template attached - in my case enFrancais) that you will only see the following listed - but just on those pages.

4. Parent

  4.1 child
  4.2 child
  4.3 child

5. parent

6. parent

7. parent

8. Parent

I have been trying out sombinations of start_page and start_element and start_level along with show_root_siblings="1" but typicall see either the whole menu or just 4 and it's children not the continued parent links below it.

If any one would like to check out the actual sites they are at

Way it looks now:

http://uat.cippic.ca/index.php?page=en-francais

The way it needs to look

http://www.cippic.ca/fr/

In the CMS the french sectio actuall starts at 17 and the first section hesder is at 20

below the last link in the french menu section are a bunch of pages (internal links) not shown in the menu but listed in the pages view in the CMS

As well if anybady goes and has a look can anyone tell me how to turn off the effect of when clicking on a menu link it jumps down and bolds (or increases in size) - Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something in the CSS ? (I've looked for an a:visited but couldn't find one)

Thanks for any assistance - it will be VERY appreciated

Cheers

Put the french section under a section header set to not be shown in menu then start the pages from there in a french template and have your english pages use an english template....

Thanks for the tip Mark -

I did try that but it didn't seem to work, The suggestion seems like it should work - I added the section header then had to move it up to just between the fr and en pages but still see all items in the navigation on the french pages. (Both above and below the break)

Is there anything wlse I need to add to one of he templates such as start element etc. ?

Thanks

I setup MultiLanguage as follows

The part with the UDT is not necessary, but I use it to open the page already in the users browser language. Basically, you start the menu on the second level, as the first level is the language.
