Please add starting level to superfish menu settings

Hoi Yuri,

I guess you're using v1.8-beta2 .

Oh! I got it, sure, added to my to-do list, thank you! really!

I this already a feature in the latest version? (7.x-1.8)
Is it possible to not only set the menu depth but also the starting level?

Regards.

Hey,

Not yet, with 1.9-beta5 hopefully.

:)

Hi, I'm facing the same problem.

I'm using taxonomy, with Taxonomy Menu to split my site into sections, i.e. with the top level terms in a section menu at the top and then a split menu, using the same vocabulary, but level 2 and below for navigation in each section. This is possible with Menu Block, but I would prefer using Superfish. Any news on this?

Best regards,
Sigurdur

Hi.

It seems it's not yet included in 1.9-beta5.

This would be a very good and valuable addition to the Superfish features :-)

Regards.

Would be an awesome feature!

Subscribing. Need this feature as well.
Any alternatives for now?

I'm very sorry for this quick and dirty work, but hopefully it'll kickass somebody to do it. The thing is that menu block is great, is there any integration between both superfish and menu block ? Maybe the reflexion is higher level anyway ...

start level is : the level from the selected menu root level (pretty bad usecase coverage)
follow start level is : do you want to see the same thing in the block after clicking on a sublink (very bad usecase coverage as well since it does not show children in case)

that's why i'm wondering about a fusion with menu blocks code ...

here is my patch

sherpadawan,
I added your patch to superfish.module and now it does take the start level into account and only appears if the parent menu item is selected. But I get no depth. The menu only shows items on the same level.

Example to illustrate:

<ul>
  <li>foo (level0)
    <ul>
      <li>A (level1)
        <ul>
          <li>K (level2)</li>
          <li>L (level2)</li>
          <li>M (level2)</li>
          <li>N (level2)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>B (level1)
        <ul>
          <li>O (level2)</li>
          <li>P (level2)</li>
          <li>Q (level2)</li>
          <li>R (level2)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>bar (level0)
    <ul>
      <li>C (level1)
        <ul>
          <li>S (level2)</li>
          <li>T (level2)</li>
          <li>U (level2)</li>
          <li>V (level2)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>D (level1)
        <ul>
          <li>W (level2)</li>
          <li>X (level2)</li>
          <li>Y (level2)</li>
          <li>Z (level2)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

When in a menu block the foo menu item is selected, the superfish block shows menu items A and B. But there's no submenus. The ul's below A and B are missing. When I click on A, the level 1 menu items disappear and make place for the level2 items. Thus showing K, L M and N.

I'm not a coder so I don't know where to start to resolve this issue. But for a first step your solution seems to be on the right path.

Any solution for this problem? I found work patch on other site, but not remember the website address.

I think, I found solution.

Thanks for sherpadawan!!!

Thanks BlacKICEUA.
I made a patch from this.
I try it and it works. :)

Patch #16 works most of the cases but if I set:
1.) Menu starting level to 1 and
2.) Make the starting level follow the active menu item" setting is on

I get an error:

Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in theme_superfish() (line 1810 of .../sites/all/modules/superfish/superfish.module).

The patch isn't working for me.
I'm getting the same error reported in #18 and the menu isn't starting on a defined level 1 or 2 or 3 ....
It would be very important for me to get the starting-level-feature.

I think that these lines are wrong:
