Hi there.

i had made a custom skin and in that i gave a solpartmenu as horizontal and then after a line or so i gave solapartmenu2 as vertical. there is no problem when i am importing it. But the problem is both the horizontal and vertical are displaying the same pages or the menu items. i have noticed that. but the thing is i dont want them to be the same . so it there any way i can made them different from one another.

thank you

You need to change the root level attribute. What is happening is both menus are starting at the same place which is probably root. Just change the vertical menu's root to have the display different teirs.

should just be

<Setting>
   <Name>level</Name>
   <Value>child</Value>
</Setting>

That will make the 2nd menu always show just the navigation below the current navigation display. Your options for level are.

Root- shows everything
Same - Starts at the same level as the current navigation
Child - Starts 1 level / teir below the current navigation.

I hope that helps.

If you want your main horizontal to only show just the root / first level you can set

<Setting>
   <Name>rootonlyl</Name>
   <Value>true</Value>
</Setting>

That will make the top menu always show the root / base navigation useful if you trying to create a top "category" menu that then changes your side menu with the different pages under the category.

Let me know if that helps

Well i tried that adding

<Setting>
   <Name>level</Name>
   <Value>child</Value>
</Setting>

I also tried with

            <Setting>
                <Name>level</Name>
                <Value>1</Value>
            </Setting>   

 

to the vertical 

<Setting>
   <Name>rootonly</Name>
   <Value>true</Value>
</Setting>

to the horizontal

But still no luck.  i tried copiing the skin and importing again. but it still didnt help me.  Please let me know if i need to add anything more in the xml file. And please let me know if i am not doing it properly.

Or is there a place where i should add it in the XML file. please let  me know.
