<p>Thank you so much for you quick answer! Your solution worked great
for me <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://community.liferay.com/o/frontend-editor-ckeditor-web/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23"> Following your advices I changed
preference <code>"selectSiteNavigationMenu"</code> to
<code>"siteNavigationMenuType"</code> as now I pass a
different <code>instance_id</code> each time on deployment. Obviously
this the correct approach.</p>
<p>Thank you once again!</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>

Instead of <code>"selectSiteNavigationMenuType": "2"</code>
try using <code>"siteNavigationMenuType": "2"</code>
. There is a quirk (feature or bug) with embedded portlets where once
it's deployed the <code>default_preferences</code>
can't be updated again on subsequent deploys. The only way to make
changes apply is to delete the embedded portlet's preferences from the
database. The way I would test changes to <code>default_preferences</code>
is to change the <code>instance_id</code>
every time I make a change and deploy.</body></html>Patrick Yeo2018-12-12T17:20:20ZEmbed secondary navigation menu in Liferay themeElena Stefanovahttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1117858522018-12-12T14:27:48Z2018-12-12T14:27:48Z<html><head></head><body><p>Hi, there!</p>
<p>I'm currently developing a new theme in Liferay 7.1.1-ga2. In this
theme I need to show two navigation menus - primary and secondary. I
already created these menus in my admin and now I'm trying
to embed them in my theme. Unfortunatelly, I cannot set the correct
menu type for the secondary menu. Nomatter what preferences I'm trying
to pass I always see the primary navigation menu. The code that I use
is the following:</p>
<code>&lt;#assign preferencesMap = {<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;"displayDepth": "1",<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;"selectSiteNavigationMenuType": "2"&nbsp; // -&gt;
this is the matching type identifier<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}<br> /&gt;<br>
&lt;@liferay.navigation_menu<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;default_preferences=freeMarkerPortletPreferences.getPreferences(preferencesMap)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;instance_id="secondary_navigation"<br> /&gt;</code>
<p> </p>
<p>Am I doing something wrong or it is impossible to achieve what I need?</p>
<p>Any help will be appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Eli</p></body></html>Elena Stefanova2018-12-12T14:27:48Z
