TYPO3 Core

Please give us more information about your setup. I tested the section menu in the current 7.6 release with css_styled_content and fluid_styled_content. Both work as expected. Please give the following information:

• What TYPO3 version are you using?
• Are you rendering your content with css_styled_content oder with fluid_styled_content?
• Are those content elements translations from another language?

1. T3: 7.6.10
2. fluid_styled (template hirarchy atttached), css-styled not included
3. no, they are the base content

All used extensions current.

This issue can be IMO closed for the following reasons:

I tried to test with 8.7.32, fluid_styled_content and the following setup

1) Create a page "Test"
2) create a CE "Heading 1", type "Heading", in "Test"
3) Create a CE "Text and images 2", type "Text and Images", in "Test"
4) Create a CE "Special menu - section index" in "Test"
4.1) edit 4) and select as "Selected pages": "Test" (the page created at point 1)
5) Preview

and I tried to verify all the issues reported in the issue description.

• shows the page title as well - which is unwanted indentation level when requested to display sections
• the element itself and can not be hidden and is shown in the menu
• the header CE dows not have check box to hide in sections menu, so also shows in the menu
• 'hide in index' in text & image has no effect for section menu

Issue 1¶

[content element Section Index] shows the page title as well - which is unwanted indentation level when requested to display sections

This is still true: the CE element is shown as follows:

• Test
  • Special Menu
  • Heading 1
  • Text and Images 2

but this is the standard behavior, because you can select more than one page as starting point for your menu

so this is the way to separate the contents for each page without having a single list of all the content elements from all the pages which would be confusing.

Issue 2¶

the element itself ( content element Section Index ) and can not be hidden and is shown in the menu

This is no more reproducible: Tab Appearance > Show in Section Menus checkbox works as expected

Issue 3¶

the header CE does not have check box to hide in sections menu, so also shows in the menu

This is no more reproducible: Tab Appearance > Show in Section Menus checkbox is visible and works as expected

Issue 4¶

'hide in index' in text & image has no effect for section menu

This is no more reproducible: Tab Appearance > Show in Section Menus checkbox works as expected

Do I miss something?

Great analysis, Riccardo. Thank you! I hope it's safe to close here.
