Hi Forum Members,

Please excuse silly questions such as mine, I'm not too good at this yet. Also, this may have been answered in another location, but I couldn't find it. If so, please direct me to that entry with my thanks.

I'm trying to put a vertical bulletmenu in a template for the second level pages of my site that will only show the children of that page.

I want to use something like {bulletmenu start_page= '{this_page}' number_of_levels='2'} where this_page is the page containing the menu.

Is this possible?

I could create templates for each second level page that had children and actually put in the appropriate start_page, but it seems like a waste if there's a way to automate it.

Thanks for all your help,

Uh, I tried this, but I get the menu for the home page.

I was trying to create a menu that started at whatever page I was on, and show the children of that page.

Here's the Page Layout:

Home
    Locations    Menu tag {bulletmenu start_page='Locations' number_of_levels='2'}
      Location 1              shows " Locations" and its children Location 1, Location 2, etc.
      Location 2
      Location 3
  Services      Desired tag {bulletmenu start_page='thispage' number_of_levels='2'
      Service Type 1        shows (because its on Services) "Services" and its children
      Service Type 2
      Service Type 3

I tried using {title} and {page_text} but they don't work, or I don't know how to make them work. (Doh!).

Any clues, or am I just barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks Andy,

I solved it using the regular tag. I indeed was using the wrong syntax.

What I was after was a menu for secondary navigation. Another menu is on the site for section by section navigation.
