Put SilverStripe Menus into Groups

For splitting up top level menus...


class Page extends SiteTree {

public static $db = array(
'MenuGroup' => "Enum('First,Second,Third','First')"
);

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$menuField = new DropdownField(
'MenuGroup',
'MenuGroup',
singleton('Page')->dbObject('MenuGroup')->enumValues()
);
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Behaviour", $menuField);
return $fields;
}

...

}

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

function menuItems($menuGroup) {
$whereStatement = "ParentID=0 AND ShowInMenus = 1 AND MenuGroup = '$menuGroup'";
return DataObject::get("Page", $whereStatement);
}

...

}


And in your template:


<% control menuItems(First) %>
$MenuTitle
<% end_control %>


Check to see if existing Pages get the default menu group set. New pages will have the default 'First'. Don't forget to rebuild!
