Hello,
I cant find how to create {menu} which display only 4 items from long menu nodes.
Soo i have menu using
Code: Select all
{menu template="travels_cards_home_1" start_element="1.3.1" show_root_siblings="1"}
and this is display whole list of my menu. Option "Items="" " isnt good becouse it need enter page alias - better is use hierarchy numbers, but I cant - there no option to alow that. So, maybe there some modification in menu template to display only 4 first items at page?
Please help.
Cheers

Best is to turn off "
Show in Menu" in your page options.
Alternative is to add this code on top of your menu template
Code: Select all
{$nodelist=$nodelist|@array_slice:0:4}
note: this only works with CMSms 1.11 (smarty 3 required)

Thx for Yours reply!
"Show in menu" it is some solution, but how show all nodes in other subpage? Im want only 4 nodes at home, all entries on subpage.
Hmmm, there is no any option to enter into template?
Somewhere I found something like
but this doesnt work, or maybe I do some wrong...
Im using 1.10.3 of CMSMS, Im dont use 1.11 becouse supersizer dont work there, and much more modules.

From the module-help:
(optional)
show_all=1 - This option will cause the menu to show all nodes even if they are set to not show in the menu. It will still not display inactive pages however.

Don't ask me to look back to old versions. You can read my code as a hint and find out for yourself how to accomplish in Smarty2. Here's the documentation:

Your solution works fine - so thanks for that simple idea
I'll use 1.11 in future - its sure, but first all modules,plugins have to works in it.
Thanks again!
Cheers

I still don't understand why you didn't have just the pages you needed under Home, 4 is what you wanted, then any others that you don't want showing in the menu on there own or under a section header called Hidden that isn't shown in the menu...
