In the main menu of my skin has dozens of menus, each menu uses a 'param' from 01 to xx like this:

Code:

<item>
 <include content = "mainmenu_items">
  <param name = "menuitem" value = "01" />
 </include>
</item>

Each menu has its submenu. There are 20 submenus for each menu, like this:

Code:

<item>
 <include content = "submenu_items">
  <param name = "submenuitem" value = "01.1" />
 </include>
</item>

Where 01 refers to the parent menu, and .1 refers to the submenu item (.1 to .20).
It works perfectly, but this way I have to create submenus 01.1 through 01.20 for menu 1, and 02.1 through 02.20 for menu 2, and so on. That's a lot of code.
I would like to be able to make the submenu fish the parent menu item like this:

Code:

<item>
 <include content = "submenu_items">
  <param name = "submenuitem" value ="$PARAM[menuitem].1" />
 </include>
</item>

I know this syntax does not work, I posted only to illustrate what I desire.
Anyway by variables, or even by skin string, property string or another. I've tried it in many ways but none works.
This would save thousands of lines of code because I would only have 20 submenus to suit all menus.

Any idea?

Can you use a direct call? like this:

Code:


<item>
 <include content = "$PARAM[menuitem].1">
    ....
 </include>
</item>


Assuming that is an include, this seems to work with includes but not inside param's value.

Thank you for your response but it did not work.

Hmm... look this is how it's implemented in titan, not sure why this shouldn't work for you as well.

call:

Code:


<include content="widget_base_content_$PARAM[contentStyle]">
    ...
</include>


definition:

Code:


<include name="widget_base_content_normal">
    ...
</include>


Maybe a limitation of the parser and you could try changing pattern so that the submenu 'tag' appears before instead of after the $param and/or using '_' instead of '.'
