Retrieve Database by Priorities!

Friday 31 August 2007 2:32:55 am

I'm trying do something like this:

In my template have 2 topbars menu, one directly created in my template and another one defined by Nodes in the TOP LEVEL CONTENT.

When I create Nodes in my TOP LEVEL CONTENT, automatically is created items in my menubar but i want create some content in TOP LEVEL CONTENT and your respective buttons appears in another menubar.

Ok, just created another <li> directly in my template and linked the respective content .

But now i want hidden my button from the first menubar, that one managed by web interface (TOP LEVEL CONTENT)

Ok, i put priorities for organize and now i'm looking for how can i retrieve that priorities number from database for create one rule in PHP for say: if x=0, hidden ;O))))

Someone can help-me?

Thank very much!

Your first option actually, so try to rephrase your whole question.

An example of how to fetch multiple levels off menus and sort them using sorting form database can be found here:
http://zev.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezwebin/trunk/packages/ezwebin_extension/ezextension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/menu/flat_left.tpl

the part you are looking for is probably this: $item.sort_array

The most clean way to hide some of the links from the menu, is to use a class that does not show up in the menu.
You can use the advanced -> swap nodes in the javascript menu in the admin interface to swap the node out with another one.

Alternatively you can filter it out in you menu code with a simple:

{foreach $menu_nodes as $item}
{* filter out node id 355 *}
{if $item.node_id|ne( 355 )}
<li>...menu code...</li>
{/if}
{/foreach}

Sorry André. Again you was right.

I was putting the code in one wrong part section.

I did like it:

{if $top_menu_items_count}
{foreach $top_menu_items as $key => $item}
<b>{if $item.node_id|ne(170)}</b>
{set $item_class = cond($current_node_in_path|eq($item.node_id), array("selected"), array())}
{if $key|eq(0)}
{set $item_class = $item_class|append("firstli")}
{/if}
{if $top_menu_items_count|eq( $key|inc )}
{set $item_class = $item_class|append("lastli")}
{/if}
{if $item.node_id|eq( $current_node_id )}
{set $item_class = $item_class|append("current")}
{/if}

{if eq( $item.class_identifier, 'link')}
<li id="node_id_{$item.node_id}"{if $item_class} class="{$item_class|implode(" ")}"{/if}><div><a href={if eq( $ui_context, 'browse' )}{concat("content/browse/", $item.node_id)|ezurl}{else}{$item.data_map.location.content|ezurl}{/if} target="_blank"{if eq( $ui_context, 'edit' )} onclick="return false;"{/if}><span>{$item.name|wash()}</span></a></div></li>
{else}
<li id="node_id_{$item.node_id}"{if $item_class} class="{$item_class|implode(" ")}"{/if}><div><a href={if eq( $ui_context, 'browse' )}{concat("content/browse/", $item.node_id)|ezurl}{else}{$item.url_alias|ezurl}{/if}{if eq( $ui_context, 'edit' )} onclick="return false;"{/if}><span>{$item.name|wash()}</span></a></div></li>
<b>{/if}</b>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}

and is working perfect.
Thank you so much again!
