[TYPO3] Split menu with variable number of items in half

[Peter Klein]

Hi Jan. Try this:

--- cut --
lib.splitmenu = COA
lib.splitmenu {
  10 = HMENU
  10.special = directory
  10.special.value = 1
  10.1 = TMENU
  10.1 {
    wrap = <div>1st hall of menu items<br>|</div>
    NO {
      stdWrap.cObject = COA
      stdWrap.cObject {
        10 = TEXT
        10.field = title
        if.value.data = register:count_HMENU_MENUOBJ
        if.isGreaterThan.prioriCalc=intval
        if.isGreaterThan.cObject=TEXT
        if.isGreaterThan.cObject.insertData=1
        if.isGreaterThan.cObject.value = {register:count_menuItems}/2
        wrap = |<br>
      }
    }
  }
  20 < .10
  20.1.wrap = <div>2nd hall of menu items<br>|</div>
  20.1.NO.stdWrap.cObject.if.negate = 1
}
