start node offset

I would like two menu's above each other so I can split these menu's with an image between. I have a sitemenu. I could add an extra pagemenu and set a datasource. But how do I configure start and end node offset for the first menu (e.g. to display item's 1-6) and the second menu (to display items 7-10)?

Kind regards,

Maarten Strobosch

Re: start node offset

Hi Maarten,

The site hierarchy is basically a tree, the start node offset refers to the depth of the node from the root, you can split the menu up based on start node offset as seen in quite a few of the skins, andreas-vicklund-02alt1 for example has 3 levels of menu, 2 horizontal ones and then a vertical one, (as does this site).

But you can't split it up by some arbitrary number of nodes 1-6, 7-10, if those are all at the root level they have the same offset. You can create pages 1-6 as root pages and you can have sub menus beeath them as child pages.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: start node offset

Hi Joe,

I figured that out. It's clear the site is basically a tree with (nested) nodes. But can you draw me in the direction of how to customize the SiteMapDataSource. I see different ID's used there and would like to know how I can make a custome dataset? with arbitrary numbers of nodes. In fact I would even better edit the page setting to allow to display the page in one of two menu's.
