[TYPO3-english] Split submenu TS challenge

[Paul Vetch]

Hi Bjorn,

I've never seen that done in a second level menu though.  There are numerous 
examples of splitting up a menu using two completely different TMENU objects 
(for example splitting a menu into two columns) but this is a submenu, and 
must appear nested in the middle of the first level TMENU object.

It seems to me like maybe a CASE cObject would be neat here but I can't see 
what I would 'key' off, because I need to detect presence or absence of the 
image (or the abstract) field, not a specific value -- and then vary the 
behaviour of the TMENU stdWrap.cObject accordingly.  I can't see how to do 
that.

If I override stdWrap.cObject I can create two different objects with 
different tests (stdWrap.cObject.10.if.isTrue.field = abstract, 
stdWrap.cObject.20.if.isFalse.field = abstract) but then I can only 
approximate grouping with something like 
alternativeSortingField=abstract,sorting ASC ... that seems ugly, and 
doesn't allow for the markup I want to produce.

If I use 'allStdWrap.if.isTrue.field = abstract' or something within the NO, 
then great, I can isolate all of the abstract/image containing menu items 
and format them how I want.  But then how to get the rest of the menu items 
and output them afterwards?  (I think somehow this may be the answer)

Why not? Just use a condition to first only output pages with image and
in  a second menu pages without.
