Re: Tab based multi-level Menus in J2
I have called MULTIMENUS macro in header and tried it by creating a page
mypage.psml in folder "/pages/_user/admin" and overriding the "pages" menu
definiton as below:
<menu name="pages">
<options regexp="true">/*.psml</options>
<menu>
<options regexp="true">/ *</options>
</menu>
</menu>
It worked good and shows pages from all top level and nested folders.
However we need to display specific pages as level-2 menus so we tried it
as:
<menu name="pages">
<options regexp="true">/*.psml</options>
<menu>
<options regexp="true">/abc/*.psml</options>
</menu>
</menu>
The “abc” folder is located at “Jetspeed-2.2.1\pages\_user\admin\abc”.
However it didn't work and no level-2 menu is shown.
We tried differnt things with <options> tag but nothing worked so far.

I'm badly stuck in this issue. Tried many things but nested menus are not
working. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
