  • Help me solution the left_menu

    I want to change this code:
    {if or(is_unset($module_result.content_info.class_identifier), ne( $module_result.content_info.class_identifier, 'documentation_page' ))}
    {def $root_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', $module_result.path[$pagerootdepth].node_id ) )
    $left_menu_items = fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', $root_node.node_id,
    'sort_by', $root_node.sort_array,
    'class_filter_type', 'include',
    'class_filter_array', ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ) ) )
    my target: different class display its child in the left_menu and the left_menu not display the other different class's child in the left_menu . Thank you very much !
