A programmer has hacked DropMenu for a split menu on our site. It allows to get the first parent of the menu, like an automatic startDoc.

In the dropmenu snippet, paste the followings.

In configuration parameters:

Code:

// $startFromParent [ true | false ]
// If true, get the first parent of menu. Like an automatic startDoc
// [[DropMenu?parentID]]
$startFromParent = (!isset($startFromParent)) ? false : ($startFromParent==true);

Below "End config, the rest takes bare of itself"

Code:

if($startFromParent==true)
{
// document id
$cid = $modx->documentObject['id'];
// document parent
$pid = $modx->getParent($cid,1,"id");

$ptarr=array();
$ptarr[]=$cid;
while ($parent=$modx->getPageInfo($pid['id']))
{
$ptarr[]=$parent['id'];
   $pid = $modx->getParent($parent['id'],1,"id");
}
$ptarr = array_reverse($ptarr);
$startDoc=$ptarr[0];
}

Can someone help me in getting this to work... a little more of a step by step guide. I'm greeeen. I've added this to the Snippit but what do I use to call it...

edmeehan, your site has just what I'm looking for. The sub-nav of your photo's underneath your main nav. But I only need it to display the Menu title and the third sub menu when clicked on.

I need it to add to my site so I can post the 2 and 3rd subs of my main navigation. I'm looking to add this just above the company news.

Thanks for help on this.

Code:

[[DropMenu? &startFromParent=`true` &topnavClass=`sub_menu`]]

Above is what I used to display the sub menu with a class called sub_menu, but as for displaying a third level document only I would not know where to start. Might try and use your style sheet to hide a portion of the nav until your ready to display it. ScottyDelicious did a tutorial on CSS and drop menus on this forum.

dernier_recours' mod should be included in the next version of Modx.

dernier_recours' mod should be included in the next version of Modx.

I agree completely, this feature should be implemented immediately in Modx.

Check Wayfinder, the successor of DropMenu. I think it has the functionality you are asking for.
