Hi all,
after 14 hours of working behind my screen I simply don't see it any more. Here's the deal:
I'm working on a multilangual website with 2 menu's. One menu is horizontal, the other is vertical.
When clicking a subpage in the vertical menu, the horizontal menu dissapears. Note: this only happens when clicking on a subpage of the vertical menu.
I breaked a leg over it and thought the problem might be in the SM2 function but as for now I could not find any errors.
So as you can imagine...I'm stucked.
Here are the both SM2 menu's:
horizontal:
<?php show_menu2(2, SM2_CURR, SM2_START, SM2_ALL, false, "\n</li>", false, false, false, '<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">'); ?>
vertical:
<?php show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_SIBLING); ?>
Does anyone recognize this problem and/or knows how to solve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Greetz,
Boudi
Did you tried to replace SM call for menu 1 with
<?php show_menu2(
1, SM2_CURR, SM2_START, SM2_ALL, false, "\n</li>", false, false, false, '<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">'); ?>
if it works, then is SM call for menu 1..
also, can you post a demo..or via pm..
cheers
Hi Boudi
there is a simple and fantastic solution in the german forum:
https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,9833.msg78022.html#msg78022
I hope it is understandable, the code itself is :-)
Please give it a try.
I don't know if there is a similar thread in english.
If you don't understand it please come back and ask.

Hi,
the most common error in this case is, that people think, they have to handle two menues, where it is in reality only one menu!
Most of the constallation could be handled with one menu, even if there are "two" menues on different places.
An other option could be (never investigated it) to change the menu order, the horizontal is your main menue, right? why it has the number two ???
Regards Bernd
I'm not useing a multilanguag page, but 2 menues. top is Main navigation and on the side is Subnavigation. Here are my calls, mybe you can just edit them to multilanguage.
Quote<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START, SM2_TRIM,'[a][menu_title]</a>','','','','','');
?>
Quote<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_SIBLING
,'<span class="submenu">[ac][menu_title]</a></span>','','','','',''); ?>

Hi all,
After 9 hours of sleep, feeding the kids, drinking a fine brand of coffee, I'm back to read the comments.
First of all, thank you for your responds and solutions. Great to see that there's always a good back up if you're lost at some point.
Some of you thought the horizontal menu was the main menu, it isn't, the vertical menu is the main menu.
Now I will take a closer look at all your solutions and will come back with an update here. :-)
Greetz,
Boudi
UPDATE: I read all your reactions. The one from Erpe, from a german thread did the amazing trick! So simple!
But that code I slightly changed in order to take the CSS style effect on the menu (the example in the German forum disables a CSS style when placing the SM2 in a <div>)
<?php show_menu2(2, $wb->page['root_parent'], SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL | SM2_PRETTY, false, "\n</li>", false, false, false, ''); ?>Thank you all for your time, help and suggestions!
Hi Boudi,
I Just encountered same issue using Easy Multilanguage link snippet , and thanks for solution !!!
the part
$wb->page['root_parent'], SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL | SM2_PRETTY,
perfectly did the job for me.. I already spent several hours working on a solution myself, then I searched the forum..
Silly me..:(
All best,
Ivan
I know the feeling...spending hours and hours without results :-D
Glad to hear that it is working though!
