TYPO3 footer menu

I wonder what is the best way to do this. I have two menues on the template for the first two levels of the navigation. They are separate, because they are on slightly different locations on the page.

Now, I used to put all my special meta-nav and footer pages into a sysfolder. That actually works pretty fine with special.directory. So far all good.

But when I open a link from the footer, the footer menu's links are shown in the 2nd-level HMENU. It makes more or less sense as the pages are in a sub-folder and therefore 2nd-level. , but they are in a folder.. So I guessed it should work.

My solution is to hide all pages in the sys-folder and in the footer menu using includeNotInMenu. That works, but I wonder if there is a cleaner solution to avoid sys-folder's content to be treated as 2nd-level pages. I don't like the editor to have to remember to hide the pages to get the expected result.

Thank you

i guess you are asking for "hide in menus". Edit your page sitemap, go to tab "access" select "hide" below "In Menus". Sitemap will not be shown in your menu, as long as you do not set "includeNotInMenu" in your menu rendering.

# assume 12 is the uid of your folder
[PIDinRootline = 12]
  # Delete the menu
  lib.yourmenu >
  # or overwrite it:
  lib.yourmenu = TEXT
  lib.yourmenu.value = there is nothing to see here
[end]

Using conditions is more difficult to debug. You need to select them in TypoScript Object-Browser, if you want to see the effect of an condition.

You can sent an entryLevel

Defines at which level in the rootLine, the menu should start. Default is "0" which gives us a menu of the very first pages on the site.

If the value is < 0, entryLevel is chosen from "behind" in the rootLine. Thus "-1" is a menu with items from the outermost level, "-2" is the level before the outermost...

I'm not sure I understand.. Assume I have the following structure

  • home
  • home/subpage1
  • home/subpage2
  • meta-nav
  • meta-nav/sitemap
  • meta-nav/impressum

-> meta-nav is a folder.

Now I have a HMENU for the 2nd level and it shows (depending on the selected page):

(subpage1 and subpage2) or (sitemap and impressum)

Now what I want to achieve is to open the sitemap or the impressum and not see those in the HMENU.

Sorry if that all sounds strange ;-)
