Get page children of a certain page in menu

[Heiko]

Hi there,

i think zotonic needs a way to get children of a certain page, so i
made one:

http://93-interactive.com/cms/home/zotonic-page-children/

Usage: {% with pageid|menu_children as children %}...

Simple example navigation included.

Feel free to include it in the main distribution

Hi Heiko,

Nice filter :)

Coincidentally, Marc committed a similar filter a few days ago as well,
called menu_subtree. That one not only gets the direct children, but
everything under a certain page.

I'll check the difference between the two and see if yours can be included.

cheers,
Arjan

Hi Heiko and Arjan,

Yes, that is a very big coincidence!
Apparently we both have a need for the submenu at the same time!

Difference is that my filter works on the "menu" property (and not the direct id) and returns the sub-menu.

The idea of my filter was to get the sub-menu for navigation on simple devices that can't display the complete menu.

It is only committed to the 0.9dev master and is called "menu_subtree":

Best,

Thanks, very useful.
Is there also a filter to find if where in the tree a page is, so that
you know which item to set current on the parent menu, and which
sub-menu to show?

[Marc Worrell]

That is a good idea.

We have two options for that:

1. Return the path together with the submenu
2. Make a separate filter to find the path

What would be best? (obviously #1 is less work for the server)

Yes, that one is called menu_trail, I believe.

[Marc Worrell]

:-) nothing to add then!

Is it possible to have the menu scomp mark a menu item as current
while in a sub-menu page?

[Marc Worrell]

Just checked the '_menu.tpl' and it does.
(this is the 0.9dev source with the bootstrap menu)

It sets the the class to 'current' on the menu items that are in the trail.
