[TYPO3] HMENU/TMENU: 2 levels in 1 menu?

[Peter Klein]

Hi Pieter. that's a bit tricky, since the "wrap" property doesn't have 
"stdWrap" support, so you can't use COA's there. But try this:

-- cut --
lib.xyzmenu = COA
lib.xyzmenu {
 10 = HMENU
 10.1 = TMENU
 10.1 {
  expAll = 1
  wrap = <ul>|</ul>
  NO {
   stdWrap.cObject = COA
   stdWrap.cObject {
    10 = TEXT
    10.field = title
    20 = LOAD_REGISTER
    20.firstPos = 1
   }
   wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
  }
 }
 10.2 = TMENU
 10.2 {
  expAll = 1
  wrap = <ul>|</ul>
  NO {
   doNotLinkIt = 1
   stdWrap.cObject = COA
   stdWrap.cObject {
    10 = COA
    10 {
     10 = TEXT
     10.data = DB : pages:{field:pid}:title
     10.insertData = 1
     10.typolink.parameter.field = pid
     10.wrap = |</li><li>
     20 = LOAD_REGISTER
     20.firstPos = 0
     if.isTrue.data = register:firstPos
    }
    20 = COA
    20 {
     10 = TEXT
     10.field = title
     10.typolink.parameter.field = uid
    }

   }
   wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
  }
 }
}
page.10 < lib.xyzmenu
-- cut --

It uses the "LOAD_REGISTER" Object to check if it's the 1st menu item on a 
submenu.
If it is the 1st item, then it adds a new item BEFORE the 1st item, 
containing the title (with link) of the parent page.
