[SOLVED] Splitting levels sites structure in two menus

Hi there,

I'd like to split my site structure in two menu-levels. I want the root pages (Home, About Us, Services) to be an inline menu in the header (that's no issue).

But I want the the second level to show up in the sidebar if there are any submenu-items. For example, services may have subpages like consultancy, project management and so on. This should be shown in the left-bar when services is selected

Home | About Us | Services | Etcetera

Submenu Services
Consulting
Project Management

How do I split my sitestructure this way?

Using two menu modules, the first one with stoplevel 1 and hard limit checked, the second one (located in the sidebar) with startlevel 1

Almost solved....

Ok, the menu is showing up.... Does anyone knows how to set the title of the submenu to the value of it's parent?

so:

Home | About Us | Services | Contact

Services <- variable in the navigation module, derived from it's parent
- Consultancy
- Project Management

Hi prijke,

There is a previous post here regarding linking to a parent :

This may help, so long as you only have one level of sub menus (which your example indicates)

I have had to remove this code from my sites until a fully working solution is found, or I can guarantee that a user will not add a further level.

Cheers,

Gary.

Hi Gary,

Since I am the owner and editor, I am pretty sure not to exceed the second level. I will look in to this. Thanks very much...

Hi Gary,

I just added {{env::parent_name}} into the title field of the module. This kinda works, but not entirely....

For example, if I choose from my main menu the option "DIENSTEN", the title of it's submenu shows MKBEYOND. If I then choose a subitem from tham menu, then the right title shows up.

This is probably designed to be like this, but then it's not a good purpose I think. Or do I miss something? The title does'nt need to be clickable, so I think I don't have to change the template.

Hi Gary,

I think I nailed it.... I used {{env::main_alias}} instead of {{env::parent_alias}}.... This seems to do the trick

Hi prijke,

You certainly have nailed it, and it works for all submenu levels - Many thanks!!

For clarity this is the code I am now using:

Code:

---

<a href="{{env::main_alias}}.html" title="{{env::main_title}}"><?php echo $this->headline; ?>

---

And an example is here:

Thanks again,

Gary.
