Question

I’ve been struggling a while in order to get my primary links to display only the first level entries (roots). I have the following code in my template.php :

I’ve tried changing the $level variable to 0 but no effect. I don’t know where (the hell) to stop the recursion.

function supertheme_navigation_links($menu_name, $level = 2) {
  // Don't even bother querying the menu table if no menu is specified.
  if (empty($menu_name)) {
    return array();
  }
  // Get the menu hierarchy for the current page.
  $tree_page = menu_tree_page_data($menu_name);
  // Also get the full menu hierarchy.
  $tree_all = menu_tree_all_data($menu_name);
  // Go down the active trail until the right level is reached.
  while ($level-- > 0 && $tree_page) {
    // Loop through the current level's items until we find one that is in trail.
    while ($item = array_shift($tree_page)) {
      if ($item['link']['in_active_trail']) {
        // If the item is in the active trail, we continue in the subtree.
        $tree_page = empty($item['below']) ? array() : $item['below'];
        break;
      }
    }
  }
  return supertheme_navigation_links_level($tree_page, $tree_all);
}


/**
* Helper function for supertheme_navigation_links to recursively create an array of links.
* (Both trees are required in order to include every menu item and active trail info.)
*/
function supertheme_navigation_links_level($tree_page, $tree_all) {
  $links = array();
  foreach ($tree_all as $key => $item) {
    $item_page = $tree_page[$key];
    $item_all = $tree_all[$key];
    if (!$item_all['link']['hidden']) {
      $l = $item_all['link']['localized_options'];
      $l['href'] = $item_all['link']['href'];
      $l['title'] = $item_all['link']['title'];
      if ($item_page['link']['in_active_trail']) {
        if (empty($l['attributes']['class'])) {
          $l['attributes']['class'] = 'active-trail';
        }
        else {
          $l['attributes']['class'] .= ' active-trail';
        }
      }
      if ($item_all['below']) {
        $l['children'] = supertheme_navigation_links_level($item_page['below'], $item_all['below']);
      }
      // Keyed with unique menu id to generate classes from theme_links().
      $links['menu-'. $item_all['link']['mlid']] = $l;
    }
  }
  return $links;
}
/**
* Return a themed set of links. (Extended to support multidimensional arrays of links.)
*/
function supertheme_links($links, $attributes = array('class' => 'links')) {
  $output = '';

  if (count($links) > 0) {
    $output = '<ul'. drupal_attributes($attributes) .'>';

    $num_links = count($links);
    $i = 1;

    foreach ($links as $key => $link) {
      $class = $key;

      // Add first, last and active classes to the list of links to help out themers.
      if ($i == 1) {

        // Some links are actually not links, but we wrap these in <span> for adding title and class attributes
        if (empty($link['html'])) {

• Not totally sure what you meant when you said you tried to change $level to 0, but then it will not enter in the loop: while ($level-- > 0 && $tree_page)

• To be able to stop a recursion, the recursive function needs to have an argument with the depth. So INSIDE the recursive function you decide when to stop: if ($depth <1) { return; } and everytime you call the recursive funcion you call it with $depth-1

• If you want this functionality ‘out-of-the-box’, try http://drupal.org/project/menu_block , or get some inspiration from its code: (see menu_tree_depth_trim function)
