[TYPO3] Menus - at the end of my string!

[Peter Klein]

Hi Matthew. I suggest you use a different approch, and use the "numRows" 
property. Here's an example:

-- cut --
lib.mrmenu = COA
lib.mrmenu {

  # Menu shown if current page got subpages
  10 = HMENU
  10.special = directory
  10.special.value.field = uid
  10.if.isTrue.numRows {
    table=pages
    select.pidInList.data = uid
  }
  10.1 = TMENU
  10.1 {
    wrap = <ul id="side-menu">|</ul>
    NO {
      linkWrap = <li>|</li>
    }
  }

  # Menu shown if current page doesn't have any subpages
  20 = HMENU
  20.special = directory
  20.special.value.field = pid
  20.if.negate = 1
  20.if.isTrue.numRows {
    table = pages
    select.pidInList.data = uid
  }
  20.1 = TMENU
  20.1 {
    wrap = 2<ul id="side-menu">|</ul>
    NO {
      linkWrap = <li>|</li>
    }
  }
}

page.100 < lib.mrmenu

-- cut --
