Show_Menu2 help

[Smile]

I am working on the template "master_Green" and as far as i can tell show_menu2 is installed, but i cannot get the left menus to show.  Top right work ok, all i want is the root menus (same as the top ones) to show on the left under the heading Menu.

Please help i am a novice so it needs to be simple!!!

<?php echo $TEXT['MENU']; ?>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<?php show_menu2(2,0,-1,true,'<tr align="left"><td>[a] [menu_title] [/a]</td></tr>','','','','class="mainlevel"','class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"'); ?>
</table>
</td>

This is the code in the template index.php file.

Thanks

The first Digit in the Menu Call after the opening bracket stands for the menu in use. In you call it refers to menu number 2. Do populate it you'll have to assign a page to that menu in the page setting. Alternatively, if you want to display the same options, just change the '2' to a '1' ...

Thanks for the reply Klaus ... i changed the 2 to 1 and the menus now show on the left but it also shows this peace of code class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"class="mainlevel" do i also have to remove it?

Is this part here in 1 or 2 lines?

Code:

<?php show_menu2(2,0,-1,true,'<tr align="left"><td>[a] [menu_title] [/a] </td></tr>','','','','class="mainlevel"','class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"'); ?>

It should be in 1 Line.

cheers

Menu 
class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"class="mainlevel"
Jo Love 
Flower Care 
Decalation 
Window Shopping 
Contact US 
 
This is how it now shows on the website, the code is all on 1 line

Any idea why it is displaying the code.

Thanks

It looks to me, that there is a break somewhere, maybe a missing single quote (or 1 to many).

I dont seem to find anything that means anything to me

<?php show_menu2(1,0,-1,true,'<tr align="left"><td>[a] [menu_title] [/a]</td></tr>','','','','class="mainlevel"','class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"'); ?>

this is all on one line, can any one see a problem.

Thanks

OK ... you mixed up the functions show_menu and show_menu2 ... this code will work with the standard call of show_menu:

Code:

show_menu(
1,
0,
-1,
true,
'<tr align="left"><td>[a] [menu_title] [/a]</td></tr>',
'',
'',
'',
'class="mainlevel"',
'class="mainlevel" id="active_menu"'
);

The showmenu2 call has different positions for the various items, in fact it has other variables and options:

Code:

show_menu2(
    $aMenu          = 0,
    $aStart         = SM2_ROOT,
    $aMaxLevel      = SM2_CURR+1,
    $aOptions       = SM2_TRIM,
    $aItemOpen      = '[li][a][menu_title]</a>',
    $aItemClose     = '</li>',
    $aMenuOpen      = '[ul]',
    $aMenuClose     = '</ul>',
    $aTopItemOpen   = false,
    $aTopMenuOpen   = false
    )
