Typo3: get level x page id from rootline for contextual menu

Question

I have a page structure like this:

Page 1
 |-Page 1.1
 |  |-Page 1.1.1
 |  |-Page 1.1.2
 |-Page 1.2
 |  |-Page 1.2.1
 |  |-Page 1.2.2
Page2
etc.

I have 2 menus for this structure:

• Left menu - shows level 1 and level 2
• Top menu - shows only level 3

For example, when I am on page 1.1 of 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, the top menu should contain 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.

To create the top menu, I need to get the page id for level 2 from rootline. Is there a way to get it in typoscript?

Answer 1

How I understand your question you can just set the entry level for topmenu:

entryLevel = 1

Page 1 should be 0 in this example, so when you set the entry level to 1 for topmenu I think you should get the result you are looking for. (Or I'm missing something in the question)
