Hi Everyone

I have a template that has a sub page type, which has a menu which is on level 3. this menu in the design is within a separate div tag what <%%> controls would I need to wrap around this to get it only to display the child objects of the parent which is a level 2 page?

Cheers

Justin

Hmmm this is a hierarchy fun-time problem. You need to traverse up to the parent and get it's menus

<% control Parent %>
  <% control Menu(1) %>

  <% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

I think it should rather be

<% control Parent %><!-- move scope to parent -->
<% control Children %><!-- iterate over parents children -->

<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

Menu(1), Menu(2) etc. are global. No matter where you call them, they always return the first, second etc. level of pages.

reference http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls&s=page%20controls

try to control your levels which returns the current section you are in.
its scope is limited as compared to Menu which is global

Ahhh, yeah overlooked that with Menu(). Those guys are smart (and righter)
