Hiya all,

I've got two menus on my pages - a main menu across the top of the page and the sub menu down the right hand side.

So, I can use the example code given for the category menu to display the menu across the top but the minute I add a sub-menu it obviously tries to display that.

I've tried putting "where -> parentNum = 0" in the code but that just breaks it, so how can I acheive this?

Also, how can I display the sub-pages to the chosen parent?

Here's the page I'm trying to acheive:

Any pointers would be really helpful!

Hi,

If you only want to show top level categories, you can try the categoryFormat option.

For example:

list($categoryRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'my_categories',
'categoryFormat' => 'onelevel',
));

Hope this helps

Ahhh, brilliant. Is there a way of just showing the sub categories of the currently selected parent then? If I could do that then my problem is solved.

Or maybe there's a list of all the parameters to use with this viewer somewhere? Have I missed that anywhere?
