I'm reposting this question:

I am trying to create a menu, based on the pid passed in a URL variable.
The menu should be generated starting from that pid. I've tried various
variations of the code below, but it is always generating a menu from
the page pid, not the value of the variable.

Here is the code:
marks.BREADCRUMBS.special = rootline
marks.BREADCRUMBS.special.value.data = GP: tx_ttnews|backPid
marks.BREADCRUMBS.special.range = 0
marks.BREADCRUMBS.1 = TMENU
marks.BREADCRUMBS.1 {
# Do stuff
}

The value of tx_ttnews[backPid] is completely ignored...
Can someone point me to a mistake?

I do not completly get what you acutally want to achieve but I had to do
a rootline latly that added the product name of a tt_products element. I
did it with RECORDS because a simple TMENU cannot give something from
a different table. The second

rootline = COA
#main config


#special if on a tt_products page
[globalVar = GP:tx_ttproducts_pi1|product > 0]
rootline.10.1.NO.linkWrap = |&raquo
rootline.10.special.range = 0|-2
rootline.20 = RECORDS
rootline.20 {
dontCheckPid = 1
tables = tt_products
source.data = GPvar:tx_ttproducts_pi1|product
conf.tt_products = COA
conf.tt_products = TEXT
conf.tt_products.field = title
conf.tt_products.crop = 60 | ...
conf.tt_products.wrap = &nbsp;<strong>|</strong>
}
[global]

Hope that helps

Regards
Lars

This is because you use rootline:

> marks.BREADCRUMBS.special = rootline

Rootline always uses current pid.

I tried to remove that line - it doesn't work either...

How can I get the same behavior as the rootline, but starting from a
different PID?
