TYPO3 Core

For special requirements we needed something like:

1=HMENU
1 {
end=-1
begin=-2
..
}

So we needed to adjust tslib_menu to allow:

• the parameter end to configure a endpoint
• allow negative values for begin and end, so you can define a offset from the end of the menuitems

I provide a patch later. Here is the new code for function makeMenu

$begin = tslib_cObj::calc($this->mconf['begin'] ? $this->mconf['begin'] : $this->conf['begin']);
$endat = tslib_cObj::calc($this->mconf['end'] ? $this->mconf['end'] : $this->conf['end']);

$banUidArray = $this->getBannedUids();

// Fill in the menuArr with elements that should go into the menu:
            $this->menuArr = Array();
            foreach($temp as $data)    {
                $spacer = (t3lib_div::inList($this->spacerIDList,$data['doktype']) || !strcmp($data['ITEM_STATE'],'SPC')) ? 1 : 0;        // if item is a spacer, $spacer is set
                if ($this->filterMenuPages($data, $banUidArray, $spacer))    {
                    $c_b++;
                    if ($begin<=$c_b)    {        // If the beginning item has been reached.
                        $this->menuArr[$c] = $data;
                        $this->menuArr[$c]['isSpacer'] = $spacer;
                        $c++;
                        if ($maxItems && $c>=$maxItems)    {
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    if ($endat>0 && $endat<=$c_b) {
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
            //delete last items if endat is negative
            if ($endat&lt;0) {
                $_end=$c+$endat;
                if ($_end&lt;0)
                    $_end=0;
                for ($i=$c;$i>=$_end; $i--) {
                    unset($this->menuArr[$i]);
                }
            }
            //delete the first items if begin was negative
            if ($begin&lt;0) {
                $_begin=$c+$begin;
                if ($_begin&lt;0)
                    $_begin=0;
                for ($i=0; $i<$_begin; $i++) {
                    array_shift($this->menuArr);
                }

}
