TMENU

The default "Normal" state rendering of Item. This is required for all menus.

Enable/Configuration for menu items which has subpages.

Enable/Configuration for menu items which are found in the rootLine.

Enable/Configuration for menu items which are found in the rootLine and have subpages.

Enable/Configuration for a menu item if the item is the current page.

Enable/Configuration for a menu item if the item is the current page and has subpages.

Enable/Configuration for menu items which are access restricted pages that a user has access to.

Enable/Configuration for 'Spacer' pages.

Spacers are pages of the doktype "Spacer". These are not viewable pages but "placeholders" which can be used to divide menu items.

User-defined, see itemArrayProcFunc for details on how to use this.

You can set the ITEM_STATE values USERDEF1 and USERDEF2 (+...RO) from a script/user function processing the menu item array. See the property itemArrayProcFunc of the menu objects.

Same like USERDEF1 but has a higher priority.

If this is true, the menu will always show the menu on the level underneath the menu item. This corresponds to a situation where a user has clicked a menu item and the menu folds out the next level. This can enable that to happen on all items as default.

If this property is set, then the menu will not consist of links to pages on the "next level" but rather of links to the parent page to the menu, and in addition "#"-links to the cObjects rendered on the page. In other words, the menu items will be a section index with links to the content elements on the page (by default with colPos=0!).

If you set this, all content elements (from tt_content table) of "Column" = "Normal" and the "Index"-check box clicked are selected. This corresponds to the "Menu/Sitemap" content element when "Section index" is selected as type.

Target of the menu links

If set, the &type parameter of the link is forced to this value regardless of target.

Wraps the whole block of sub items.

Wraps the whole block of sub items, but only if there were items in the menu!

The internal array "I" is passed to this function and expected returned as well. Subsequent to this function call the menu item is compiled by implode()'ing the array $I[parts] in the passed array. Thus you may modify this if you need to.

Normally the menu items are sorted by the fields "sorting" in the pages- and tt_content-table. Here you can enter a list of fields that is used in the SQL- "ORDER BY" statement instead. You can also provide the sorting order.

Limitations:

This property works with normal menus, sectionsIndex menus and special-menus of type "directory".

The minimum items in the menu. If the number of pages does not reach this level, a dummy-page with the title "..." and uid=[currentpage_id] is inserted.

Takes precedence over HMENU property .

The maximum items in the menu. More items will be ignored.

Takes precedence over HMENU property .

The first item in the menu.

Outputs (by the debug() function) the configuration arrays for each menu item. Useful to debug optionSplit things and such...

If set, then all links in the menu will point to this pageid. Instead the real uid of the page is sent by the parameter "&real_uid=[uid]".

This feature is smart, if you have inserted a menu from somewhere else, perhaps a shared menu, but wants the menu items to call the same page, which then generates a proper output based on the real_uid.

Additional parameter for the menu links.

Must be rawurlencoded.

If set, pages in the menu will include pages with frontend user group access enabled. However the page is of course not accessible and therefore the URL in the menu will be linked to the page with the ID of this value. On that page you could put a login form or other message.

If the value is "NONE" the link will not be changed and the site will perform page-not-found handling when clicked (which can be used to capture the event and act accordingly of course). This means that the link's URL will point to the page even if it is not accessible by the current frontend user. Note that the default behavior of page-not-found handling is to show the parent page instead.

Properties:

.addParam: Additional parameter for the URL, which can hold two markers; ###RETURN_URL### which will be substituted with the link the page would have had if it had been accessible and ###PAGE_ID### holding the page ID of the page coming from (could be used to look up which fe_groups was required for access.

.ATagParams: Add custom attributes to the anchor tag.

Adds an additional part to the WHERE clause for this menu. Make sure to start the part with "AND "!

The first variable passed to this function is the "menuArr" array with the menu items as they are collected based on the type of menu.

You're free to manipulate or add to this array as you like. Just remember to return the array again!

Note:

.parentObj property is hardcoded to be a reference to the calling typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ContentObject/Menu/ object. Here you'll find e.g. ->id to be the uid of the menu item generating a submenu and such.

Presetting element state

You can override element states like SPC, IFSUB, ACT, CUR or USR by setting the key ITEM_STATE in the page records.

Defines a suffix for alternative sub-level menu objects.
