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.
