Show sub menu from another page on homepage
1 August 2008 at 7:55am Last edited: 1 August 2008 7:56am
Hi, - wonder if someone can help me please - I need to place a series of level 2 links from another site section on the homepage, following the logic in the tutorials I constructed this bit of code and placed it in my HomePage.ss file
<% control Page(about-us) %>
<% if Menu(2) %>
<ul id="Menu2">
<% control Menu(2) %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title page">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>doesn't seem to be working though :o/ any ideas ?

Managed to find the right approach just now using Google which came up with this page
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls
which led me to alter the above attempt to...
<% if ChildrenOf(about-us) %>
<ul id="Menu2">
<% control ChildrenOf(about-us) %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title page">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>which appears to work, just in case anyone else is stuck for this kind of control. Kinda odd none of the SS team could help on this one?
Obviously with a free open source CMS I don't expect to be spoon fed, people are busy - we all are - but a bit of a guiding hand in the shape of better documentation/tutorials that cover a bit more than the five that come with the set up would really help this project as it's a lovely CMS from a end user POV and I think very flexible given the experience and more verbose easy on the brain step through docs being made available.
Feel that I am on a very steep learning curve at the moment and not much in the way of a safety net.
