[Typo3] GMENU, Long names, and images

[Scotty C]

Hi everyone!

Well, after some exhausting research, I figured it out
on my own. But in case there's anyone else having this
problem, here's the best solution I found. You need to
use the listNum and optionSplit parameters of the TEXT
object. My code looks like this (Note: I am using menu
items with 2 words, split by "|". To split the items,
you MUST name the pages accordingly (ex. Name the page
"Special | Projects", without the quotes)):


# HHHierarchical menu
subparts.TOPMENU = HMENU

# GMENU TIME BABAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
subparts.TOPMENU.1 = GMENU

# NO represents the NOrmal state of the button
subparts.TOPMENU.1.NO {

   # width,height of button
   XY = 123,29
   
   4 = IMAGE
   4.file = buttonface_up.jpg

   # This is the code for the "Special" component 
   # of "Special Projects"
   10 = TEXT
   10 {
      # make value of each item = title of each page!
      text.field = title
      fontSize = 13
      offset = 0,[4.h]-8
      align = center
      #niceText = 1
      fontColor = black
      fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/BNKGOTHM.TTF
      antiAlias = 1
      #textMaxLength = 5
     
      # *** THE ZINGER ****
      # Grab item 0 of the list (i.e. "Special") 
      # and display it
      text.listNum = 0

      # Split the item by the character specified
      # the next item displayed will be everything
      # after this character
      text.listNum.splitChar = |
      
      shadow.offset = 2,2
      shadow.blur = 50
      shadow.opacity = 60
   }

   # This is the code for the "Projects" component 
   # of "Special Projects"
   11 = TEXT
   11 {
      text.field = title
      fontSize = 13
      offset = -2,[4.h]-17
      align = center
      fontColor = black
      fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/BNKGOTHM.TTF
      antiAlias = 1

      # *** THE ZINGER ****
      # Grab item 1 of the list (i.e. "Projects") 
      # and display it
      text.listNum = 1
      text.listNum.splitChar = |

      shadow.offset = 2,2
      shadow.blur = 50
      shadow.opacity = 60
   }
      
 # end subparts.topmenu
}


I hope this may be of use!
