Why does this NOT work{let menuitem=fetch('content', object, hash(object_id, 46))}
 while this does:
 {let children_count=fetch('content',list_count,hash(parent_node_id,46))

They usually have different IDs. You can see the object id for instance in the edit link. |

First, thank you both for your fast replies.Ill check your solutions now.
 One more question though... can object_ids and node_ids equal? For some IDs it even works. |

When you use fetch('content', object, hash(object_id,xx)) then xx MUST be an object id.When you use node_view_gui, you MUST supply a node. $menuitem is a content object in this case. This should work:
 {node_view_gui view=menu content_node=$menuitem.main_node ...
 
fetch('content',list_count,hash(parent_node_id,$node.id))$node.id will not work. Use $node_id or $node.node_id, depending on your template code.

                                                                 The difference between a node and an object wasnt clear to me. I now use the func. 'node' to which I pass node_id and later on, $node.node_id It isnt clear to me at all why some did work before but now all do.
