CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi

I have a standard page using a main navigation menu at the top (see attached template 1) which has no drop downs. when someone clicks on one of the links (e.g. articles) a new template is used and in that template, a second navigation menu appears  (see attached template 2).

How is this achieved? I guess I have to create a new menu template say "articles_menu"  then call it with {cms_module module='menumanager' template='articles_menu'}

but what code would I use on a menu template for it to just show the children of the Articles section?

Put another way, the main navigation shows:
1.Home 2.News 3.Articles 4.About us 5.Contact

And the secondary navigation will just show
3.1 Article 1
3.2 Article 2
3.3 Article 3
3.4 Article 4


thanks

[This first issue was solved (well, Ronny pointed out to me where the obvious answer was) but I had added another question so  I took "solved" out of the title.]

Mark,

the default template coming with the installatio called "Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column" does that. Or do you mean something else?

Ronny

err, yes. I guess I was looking too deep to find the answer when it was there in front of me!

Thanks Ronny

Another question related to the same issue...

If the main navigation is to permanently show level 1 and level 2 pages (see attached template 3), how could I make Article's level 2 pages not show in the main navigation?

Put another way, the main navigation shows:
1.Home            2.News            3.Articles            4.About us            5.Contact
                        2.1 Latest                                4.1 The Team
                        2.2 Archive                                4.2 Location

And the secondary navigation will show
3.1 Article 1
3.2 Article 2
3.3 Article 3
3.4 Article 4

thanks again

Mark

You can use the number of levels and start level calls in the menu tags...

To see the diff. calls read the bold word below \/...

Hi

I can't see any bold words

Go to Extensions » Modules click the name of the module or the word Help to the right to get the parameters it takes...

Yes, the module manager lists all the parameters! It is very easy to do what you want to do.

If you still have a problem, please post, we will be happy to help.

If it does resolve it, please add "Solved" to your post title.

thanks!
