[TYPO3] TS TMenu and register:count_HMENU_MENUOBJ

[Patrick Pirrotte]

Dear List,

I'm currently stuck with a TMENU for which I have found no solution yet besides writing up a PHP userfunction, something I would like to avoid as my goal is to learn typoscript.

I'd like to have a topmenu composed of multicoloured tabs, with an area below the tabs coloured corresponding to the selected menu.

Below is the TS I have so far. It shows multicoloured tabs by using {register:menuCounter}. This works perfectly fine inside a TMENUITEM (like NO or ACT).
Unfortunately, in lib.menutop.1.stdWrap.dataWrap, the register:count_HMENU_MENUOBJ always returns the last value and not the value count of the active item?

I suppose there should be a way to have an internal counter for the value, but I haven't found out how to make those registers work yet.

I'm glad for any help and hints I can get.

Best regards,

Patrick
