top_menu.tpl mod or additional top_menu ?

$top_menu$top_menu$top_menu$top_menuI need to add an additional Menu to the website.



There is already 2 menu available: top_quick_links.tpl and, top_menu.tpl So the proper way would be to make a third file.

But

  1. I've no idea how to enable this in the admin
  2. it implies seting new table in the db => probably not friendly for updates etc…





    So I thought that they might be a other way to do the job by using the top_menu

    and giving different css class to item 1 to n of the menu and item n+1 to last



    now it does not work… the " if $top_menu <= 4" does not trigger ( do you know why ?




```php


{strip}

    {foreach from=$top_menu item="m"}
    {if $top_menu <= 4}

  • {$m.item}
    {/if}

  • {$m.item}
    {if $m.subitems}
    {include file="top_menu.tpl" items=$m.subitems top_menu="" dir=$m.param_4}
    {/if}

    • {/foreach}

{/strip}

```

Seems difficult to get help around here, anyhow I did get help elsewhere so I'll share it:




```php

{* $Id$ mini menu }

{ modif to display only first 3 menu item *}


{strip}

    {foreach from=$top_menu item="m" name='foo'}
    {if $smarty.foreach.foo.iteration le 3}

  • {$m.item}


    • {/if}
    {/foreach}

{/strip}

```
