pdoMenu - Using different

Support
41

Use the property displayStart:

&displayStart=`1`

Include display of parent node. It is useful when you specify more than one «parents».

Would there be a reason that this changes the first li into h2?

According to the documentation there is a special template &tplStart that is used.

Chunk for the parent resource, provided that &displayStart is also used. Default: @INLINE <h2[[+classes]]>[[+menutitle]]</h2>[[+wrapper]]

You have to overwrite that in your snippet call:

[[pdoMenu?
	&parents=`2,3,4,7,9`
	&level=`0`
	&displayStart=`1`
	&tplOuter=`@INLINE {{+wrapper}}`
	&tpl=`navTpl`
	&tplStart=`navTpl`
]]
