Need Horizontal menu showing current page children

[Kristy]

I need a horizontal menu that will only show up when the current page has children and display the child page links. I've searched all over the forum and wiki. I want it to work like the "Generic Sub Menu" but it looks like Ellnav was combined when menu manager was created. I also do not want these child pages to show up in the vertical expand menu.

here is the code in the template that I am using

Code: Select all

<div id="menu_horiz">{hierarchy}
{menu template='simplenav' start_element=$h_this collapse='2'}</div>

The hierarchy is the UDT described in the wiki for Generic Sub Menu

Code: Select all

# Name: hierarchy
global $gCms;
$pos = $gCms->variables['position'];
$base = explode('.', $pos);
$smarty->assign('h_toplevel', $base[0] * 1);
$smarty->assign('h_parent',   $base[ (count($base) > 1) ? count($base)-2 : 0 ] * 1);
$smarty->assign('h_this',     $base[count($base)-1] * 1);

So the menu shows up but does not display the child for that page and the child shows up in the vertical menu.

Any idea's?

Kristy,

if you call {menu} twice, you can do what you want, or I misunderstood your problem.

Code: Select all

{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' number_of_levels='1'}
{* NB! The <ul><li> below is only added because several default templates use the same menu stylesheet, 
to "force" the subnavigation to act as if it's the second level in a list *}
<ul><li>{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' start_level='2' collapse='1'}</li></ul>

or whatever template you use.....

Hi Ronny,
Thank you for responding. I guess I'm not explaining myself very well. I was looking around this site and on the "How-to" pages they use the type of navigation I'm talking about http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/How_to the tabs that say "edit" and "history" at the top of the page are second level to that page only.

I looked at the source and it looks like it's hard coded instead of using a navagational menu. I guess I'll just have to do it that way.

If anyone has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate it!

Ronny's example there should work perfectly..... 2 menu calls, one for the top level, the other one that shows the children of the current page.  Then all you would have to do is layout and style them.
