I have menu like that:

-parentfolder1
  -childfolder1
  -childfolder2
  -childfolder3
  -childfolder4
-parentfolder2

How to create new menu:

-childfolder1
-childfolder2
-childfolder3
-childfolder4

I searched about that, but I'm beginner and I can not understand how to do that.

Change the 'depth_skip' value from 0 to 1 so that you treemenu call in the flat_left template looks like:

{let docs=treemenu( $module_result.path,
                    is_set( $module_result.node_id )|choose( 2, $module_result.node_id ),
                    ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
                    1, 5 )
                    depth=1
                    last_level=0}

This way, the 1st level of the tree is skipped, so it will show the children of the node you are on. Give it a try.

The 'depth_skip' is explained at: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/template_operators/miscellaneous/treemenu

It will show the children of whichever folder is selected at the moment. So if your menu structure is:

-News
 -story 1
-Links
 -link 1
 -link 2
-Files
 -file 1
 -file 2
 -file 3

And the user goes into the Files page, then left menu will show the level beneath Files, so the menu would be:

-file 1
-file 2
-file 3

Hi!

I take code from flat_left.tpl and changed top <b>{let...</b> and I when I clear cache from admin interface then I see "new menu". BUT when I click item from top menu then my "new menu" is still the same. It changes only when I clear the cache (from admin panel) and refresh the browser. It's strange.

My menu is placed in pagelayout.tpl as:

{menu name=LeftMenu}

My <i>new_menu</i>.tpl:

{let docs=treemenu( $module_result.path,
                    is_set( $module_result.node_id )|choose( 2, $module_result.node_id ),
                    ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
                    0, 5 )
                    depth=1
                    last_level=0}
        <ul>
        {section var=menu loop=$:docs last-value}
            {set last_level=$menu.last|is_array|choose( $menu.level, $menu.last.level )}
            {section show=and( $last_level|eq( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                </li>
            {section-else}
            {section show=and( $last_level|gt( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                </li>
                    {"</ul>
                </li>"|repeat(sub( $last_level, $menu.level ))}
            {/section}
            {/section}

            {section show=and( $last_level|lt( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                {'<ul><li>'|repeat(sub($menu.level,$last_level,1))}
                <ul>
                    <li class="menu-level-{$menu.level}">
            {section-else}
                <li class="menu-level-{$menu.level}">
            {/section}

            <a {$menu.is_selected|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )} href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.text|shorten( 25 )}</a>

            {set depth=$menu.level}
        {/section}
           </li>

        {section show=sub( $depth, 0 )|gt( 0 ) loop=sub( $depth, 0 )}
            </ul>
        </li>
        {/section}
        </ul>

{/let}

An example will make this easier, have a look at:
http://pyramint.emcuk.com/ezdemo/
Different options in the top menu change the left menu, News has 2 folders in, Media Files has one.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Yes, exact the same.
How to do this?
My code is OK or not?

See the third post in this topic. All you need is to have an override on the left menu and change the depth_skip to 1.

{let docs=treemenu( $module_result.path,
                    is_set( $module_result.node_id )|choose( 2, $module_result.node_id ),
                    ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
                    1, 5 )
                    depth=1
                    last_level=0}

instead of

{let docs=treemenu( $module_result.path,
                    is_set( $module_result.node_id )|choose( 2, $module_result.node_id ),
                    ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
                    0, 5 )
                    depth=1
                    last_level=0}

I found the problem!
In pagelayout.tpl I moved:

{menu name=LeftMenu}

I forgot about cache-block:

{cache-block keys=array($uri_string, $current_user.role_id_list|implode( ',' ), $current_user.limited_assignment_value_list|implode( ',' ))}
   {menu name=LeftMenu}
{/cache-block}

clear! :)

One more question.
How to check in this example that folders in "new menu" exisit?
I would like to check it to add DIV with graphics element.

Play around with something like:

{if eq($:docs|count(),0)}
