dropmenu - display child items outside of dropmenu

Hi.
I’m wondering how to display menu child items outside of the DROPMENU. There is an example on the ModX site:

http://modxcms.com/documentation.html

The documentation child items are separate from the parent.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Use two dropmenu calls, the second having parameters &startDoc=`[*id*]` &levelLimit=`1`

I also thought that this should work - but actually it didn’t:

I once gave the 2nd ul his own div and placed it below the first ul by setting position:absolute in css for that div. (http://www.danielson.nl/Membraanschakelaars-Touchscreens-Eingabesystem-Vinyl-Stickers-Industrial-Graphics-Folientastaturen.html)

Hi again,

Thanks for your pointers, I still can’t get this menu to display correctly:

The Parent whose child items I want to display separately is ID = 32
Child ID’s = 49, 50, 51, 52, 53

So, I’ve tried:

[[DropMenu? &startDoc=`[*32*]` &levelLimit=`1`]]

or

[[DropMenu? &startDoc=`[*49*]` &levelLimit=`1`]]

This displays all parent items.

Be nice to the noOb :0

[[DropMenu? &startDoc=`32` &levelLimit=`1`]] will give you a menu with the children of document 32.

[[DropMenu? &startDoc=`49` &levelLimit=`1`]] will give you a menu with the children of document 49.

thanks
